Ford C-Max 1.6 EcoBoost Stage 1 Remap
On Ford C-Max 1.6 EcoBoost turbo petrol engines a Stage 1 remap recalibrates the boost pressure, ignition timing, fuelling and torque limiter maps. No hardware is changed and the original software is backed up. The same engine is sold with different stock outputs across generations, so the gain depends on your version.
It depends on the generation and the stock output. 1.6 EcoBoost engines with 150–182 bhp reach 190–205 bhp with a Stage 1 remap; the largest gain is +40 bhp (1.6 EcoBoost 150hp). Pick your version in the table below.

GP Power ECU applies the software at its workshop in Hukou, Hsinchu, using EcuPrime-developed files; workshops can also order the file directly.
About the Ford 1.5 / 1.6 / 2.0 / 2.3 EcoBoost
The four-cylinder EcoBoost engines power the Focus, Mondeo, Kuga, S-Max, Galaxy, Focus ST and RS. Combining direct injection and a turbo, they leave the factory with a balanced calibration and respond strongly to software.
How a Stage 1 remap works on the Ford C-Max 1.6 EcoBoost
Stage 1 recalibrates boost, ignition advance and fuelling within the original hardware limits. The torque gain spreads across a wide rev range; on automatic cars shift points and the gearbox torque limit are respected.
Pre-remap checklist
- Cooling system and cylinder head area (especially on the 1.6 EcoBoost).
- Ignition coils, spark plugs and fuel quality.
- Boost leaks and intercooler connections.
- Clutch or automatic gearbox condition.
