Has anyone dealt or heard of these guys? They can offer me a Tune for my 1.6L Zetec, but i just wanted to see if anyone on here knows anything about these guys?

[Twinpiston]

I thought their was no tune available for the 1.6?

[Ben85]

Not according to this bloke. He has the codes apparently.

hmmm interesting.
They're located in Geelong, and their Ebay listing has some focus Air-Intakes etc...
plus the products listing does mention most of the euro-ford models...veeeeeery interesting....

I knew I had heard the name. They are one of the dealers for the Dreamscience computers. I enquired with them when looking into some performance upgrades. :evil3:

I know they have tuned some E-Series and on he OzEcruiers Dyno Day in 2 weeks they will be there - I think the guys name is Matt

id be very sceptical..... reason beeing, and ive said this alot, if the UK peeps dont have tunes then it hasnt been cracked. you would think a country where the market is primarily small cars and the fiesta is one of those major selling ones they would of cracked it and provided a tune. i would post on some of the UK forums ie www.ukfn.co.uk and see if they have had a tune completed. if not and you do decide to get it tuned make sure you dyno it before and after to make sure the effects are still there, if your not happy with the results get your money back.

I just emailed Dreamscience to see what they have to say, according to there website Bullet Performance Racing is a Dreamscience Tuner in Australia. I have emailed dreamscience before in regards to having the 1.6L tuned, and they have told me that they dont have a pre-programed unit for this engine. So it would have to be a custom tune for all of the different computers that are on the 1.6L Fiesta's. And if i brought my car into one of the Dreamscience workshops they could indeed provide me with a tune. I have been told that not all of the 1.6L Fiesta's carry the same computers, this is one of the main reasons there are no pre-programmed units.

As i said, i've emailed Dreamscience in the UK to so wat info i can find out. Then i'll go from there. I'll definately keep you guys updated, also i rang Herrods and they could also do a tune, but it was about $600 more expensive.

I sent an email to dreamscience asking if wat i had been told was correct. I was told by BPR that i should see an increase of around 20% in the driving range (ie 20-130kph), and around 15kw's peak power.
Ok guys here is the email i have recieved back from Dreamscience in the UK:

Hi Sir,
This does sound correct, not only will it be the increase in power that will make your car faster, it is the edited torque limits that allow to put the power down to the ground more effieciently. Unfortunately we do not have a dyno curve for this car as it is a model that we custom tune, the graphs are not stored on our computer. What matt for BPR is telling you is very true and I am sure that you will enjoy the tune file that he makes for your car.

Many thanks Carl@DS

Sweeet...hope they can do the same for the WS Fiesta. Besides from the replacement air filter, ECU remapping will be one of the first major things to be done when I get mine.

hey, just saw this on european-parts, dunno whether its the same as our zetec, but it says 1.6L S?
