In this latest tune and dyno test, we take this 2014 Ford Focus 1.6 TDCI and custom tune it, adjusting the software and fine tuning the results from the rolling road dyno testing. The result… Some pretty impressive performance gains!!
Firstly, we take the Focus completely stock. We get it strapped up on to the rollers, and take it for the first set of tests to establish what the factory mapping is producing. You can see the stock dyno graph below. You can see that power is running slightly lower than manufacturer quoted, showing 106hp compared to 115hp, but nothing too concerning as these can sometimes run slightly less than expected. Torque being the opposite and showing 281Nm from a 270Nm quote, but again nothing too concerning from this.
Once we are happy that we have everything logged and the stock figures are dialled in, it’s time to connect to the ECU. We use our Autotuner system to connect directly on to the ECU. The process of this custom tune is very much a hands-on, ‘fine tweaking’

In this latest tune and dyno test, we have this awesome 2020 Roller Team Auto-Roller 746 up on the dyno. Here we run a comparison of tuning solutions. First testing with our Pro + Boost chip tuning box, and then once removed and back stock we custom remap the ECU, adjusting the software and fine tuning the data.
Now as you may know, we offer a wide variety of tuning solutions here at Bluespark, the two most popular being our chip tuning boxes and our custom remaps. Both of these options have their advantages, and both can provide excellent results. This motorhome is built from the underpinning of the Fiat Ducato 2.3 Multijet II, which we have already seen a lot of on this channel, so we already know the capabilities of this engine. Lets see how the two options shape up…

Here we have some lost footage, salvaged after we had upgraded our rolling road set up to our new 4wd dyno. This dyno test was completed on our previous 2wd dyno, just before we had it swapped out, but we thought to share it as the results are quite important…
We tested this 2019 Honda Civic 1.5 VTEC whilst it was running full 99RON fuel, and were able to adjust our Pro Petrol box accordingly to get some pretty impressive results. The gains that were made, were significantly greater than previous testing on this engine, proving that octane rating can really make the difference.
Dyno testing before and after shows healthy gains across the rev range, with a significant increase in power and torque, really transforming how the Civic feels to drive.
Peak power was increased, as we were able to lift it from 198hp at stock, up to 240hp with the box. Stock figures running higher than manufacturer quoted of 182hp, but that’s the real testament to the difference you’ll see running 99RON fuel. If
