Superchips Remaps the Ford Fiesta Zetec S

Superchips has been kept busy, with the British ECU remap specialist most recently getting its hands on a new toy, the petrol engined Mk7 120 PS 1.6-litre Ford Fiesta Zetec S. The mods enable the unit to develop some extra 10 hp at 5,986 rpm from the Fiesta’s Ti-VCT twin independent cam timing engine, with torque increasing by 13 Nm at 4,390rpm.

The upgrade is designed to work with either 95 or 98 octane fuel and if driven in a like for like manner with the standard car, the Fiesta Zetec S’s 48 mpg combined fuel economy will be unaffected.

“With useful performance gains from 2500 rpm right the way to the 6750 rpm rev limiter, the Superchips conversion makes the Fiesta Zetec S feel more exciting, sportier and more responsive right through the rev range, making everyday driving more pleasurable,” a company statement reads.

“No technical skills are required as Superchips’ customers plug the Bluefin handset into the Fiesta’s OBDII diagnostic port and then follow the simple on-screen instructions, a process which takes a matter of minutes,” it further adds. “As part of this process, the original factory Fiesta Zetec S ECU map settings are stored within the Bluefin handset for future use, which means converting the car back to standard is a swift and simple ‘plug and go’ DIY task.”

Suitable for all Mk7 1.6-litre 120 PS Fiesta Zetec S models produced from October 1st 2008 onwards, the Superchips upgrade is priced competitively at just £249. Also, the conversion is covered by a full Customer Service Guarantee and an industry-leading 12 month / 30,000 supplementary full vehicle warranty.
