Ford Kuga 2.0 TDCi 180hp Stage 1

This Ford Kuga 2.0 TDCi went from 180hp and 400Nm to 200hp and 450Nm with our Stage 1 calibration.

A capable everyday SUV, improved

Stronger acceleration and mid-range pulling power make it more responsive, while keeping the smooth character of the Kuga.

ECU and tools

This car has a Delphi DCM6.1 ECU and was calibrated through the diagnostic port with AutoTuner.

Included

  • Speed limiter solution
  • Original ECU file backed up

About this job

The results

Power went from 180hp to 200hp, an increase of 20hp or around 11%.

Torque rose from 400Nm to 450Nm (+50Nm), which is what you feel most in everyday driving: stronger pull from low revs and easier overtaking.

What the work involved

A Stage 1 remap is a software calibration for an otherwise standard car. We refine parameters such as boost, fuelling, ignition timing and torque limits within safe margins, so it pulls harder through the mid-range without any hardware changes.

How we carried it out

  • Diagnostic scan for stored faults before any work
  • Stabilised power supply connected while programming
  • Original software read and saved, so the car can be returned to standard
  • Calibration written, then the car checked again afterwards

Thinking about the same for your Ford?
