Vi hoje, pela primeira vez, uma proposta de chiptuning para o 1.0 Ecoboost. Um aumento de 16cv, num motor 1000 cc!
Se já estava espantado com os cavalos que se conseguiam quando estava super d'origem, agora ainda estou mais! Não sendo muito velho - 28 anos - sou do tempo em que um motor para carros de estrada 1800cc com 160cv já era absolutamente fantástico! Este é um 1000 e está já com 145cv sem qualquer alteração mecânica.
Quanto saiu o Golf 1.4 TFSI de 170cv já fiquei maravilhado e este consegue ser (bastante) mais surpreendente.
O que acham? Se tivessem um 1.0 Ecoboost apostavam nisto? Têm ressalvas quanto ao motor?

Through the use of new software for the engine control unit (commonly known as ECU), UK's Superchips has been able to improve the performance of Ford's new 1.0-liter three-cylinder, direct injection turbocharged Ecoboost engine found on several European market models such as the Focus and the B-MAX.
In stock trim, the three-cylinder gasoline unit is officially rated at 123hp (125PS) and 169Nm (125 lb-ft) or 200Nm (149 lb-ft) with the overboost function. On the dyno, Superchips found that the engine is slightly more powerful delivering 127hp.
After the company's engineers updated the ECU, the 1.0-liter engine was dyno-tested at 145hp (147PS) at 6,169 rpm and 227Nm (167 lb-ft) at 2,656 rpm.
The British tuning firm claims that the remap doesn’t detract from the standard Focus 125PS Ecoboost’s 56 mpg UK (46.6 mpg US or 5.0lt/100km) average fuel consumption, just as long as the car is driven in a "like for like" manner.
Superchip's ECU upgrade is priced at £455 (about US$713 or €580) including VAT and can be fitted on all arch 2012 onwards variants of the 125 PS (123 bhp) Ford Focus 1.0-litre Ecoboost models.
