There are two variants of the Ford Ka 1.5 TDCI 75ps engine which have different hardware depending on which country you live in. The first variant comes fitted with an intercooler and is identical to the 1.5 TDCI 95 engine, for this one you can achieve the best results. There is also a version which does not come with a factory fitted intercooler so we suggest to only take this one to 95 BHP on a stage one remap, unless an intercooler is fitted.
HDI Tuning has the most advance remaps available for the Ford Ka 1.5 TDCI 75ps engine and we can also offer a VNT turbo upgrade. If you would like to program yourself from home, you can use Dimsport MyGenius or Kess V2 over the OBD port.
Ford Ka 1.5 TDCI 75ps Stage 1 (126 BHP
| 313 Nm
)
Our Stage 1 remap will take your Ford Ka 1.5 TDCI 75 BHP to 126BHP and a whopping 313Nm of torque (for models with a factory fitted intercooler), all this is possible whilst keeping the DPF in place and without any increased risk of clogging thanks to our DPF safe remap technology. You’ll also see a small improvement in fuel economy when using the Stage 1 remap.
The EDC17C70 is a complicated ECU with multiple layers of tuning protection. We have the tuning knowledge to overcome all of the software limits and deliver a great power gain on this model, you really will notice a huge increase in performance on your Ford Ka 1.5 TDCI 75ps engine that will put a big smile on your face.

Ford Ka 1.5 TDCI 75ps Stage 3 (150 BHP
)
We’ve developed an advanced VNT turbo upgrade remap for the Ford Ka 1.5 TDCI 75ps engine which uses the same turbo as the 1.5 120 BHP model. The turbo used here is a GTD1244VZ from the 1.5 120 model which is almost a direct fit. The injectors used are the same on both the 75, 95 and 120 BHP models so there is no need to upgrade these, although for maximum performance we would recommend an intercooler upgrade. This gives excellent performance figures with 330Nm torque and 150 BHP.

Programming Methods – OBD2 or bench programming
The Ford EDC17C10 and EDC17C70 are easy to program over OBD. Dimsport MyGenius is able to do this over OBD and offers full programming capabilities with the option to change maps whenever you choose.
Recommended programming method:
Program over OBD using the Dimsport MyGenius standalone tool
The Dimsport MyGenius tool is the safest, easiest and most reliable way to program your ECU from home. Simply connect to the OBD port and let the tool do the work, no need to remove your ECU or bench program for most ECU types. For more information have a read here
Programming via OBD EDC17C70
- Obtain a suitable programming tool; we recommend to use Dimsport MyGenius, you can also use Kess V2.
- Install the tool to a reliable laptop.
- Connect to the OBD port of your car, make sure you have backup chargers to the vehicle battery and the laptop battery.
- ID the ECU and then take a read of the ECUs flash memory.
- Email the software to remap@hdi-tuning.co.uk along with a description of the remap you require.
- Send payment through our webshop.
- We will modify the software and send back to you. This normally takes less than 2 to 3 hours during working days.
- Using the same tool, ID then write to the ECU. This will overwrite the ECUs flash memory, it’s important not to interrupt the process. If you encounter any problems we can fix the ECU for you so there’s absolutely nothing to worry about.
- Let your engine warm up and then take the car for a spin, enjoy the extra power!
Programming via Bench service mode KTM Bench or PCM Flash
This is our preferred way to program. The ECU must be removed, but there is no need to open the ECU and risk damage. A full backup can be made of both the EEPROM and the internal flash memories, also the external flash can be read on models where this is present.
- Order a tool such as KTM bench or PCM Flash.
- Remove ECU from the vehicle.
- Connect specified wires to ECU plug connector.
- ID the ECU.
- Read the ECU memories.
- Email software to HDI Tuning.
- Wait for us to prepare your remap and return it back to you.
- Program the remap to the ECU using the same method taken to read the ECU.
- Refit the ECU, check engine starts.
- Let your engine warm up and then take the car for a spin, enjoy the extra power!
Programming via KTAG or MPPS Tricore
- Order a suitable tool such as Kess KTAG or MPPS Tricore.
- Install the tool to a reliable laptop.
- The ECU must be removed from the vehicle, and then the lid can be carefully pried open and removed. The best way to do this is with 1 small flat head screw driver, 1 medium, and one large. A heat gun will help soften the sealant. Always start at the end furthest from the flat bonded section of the lid. If you attempt to pry open this end you will damage the ECU. A video guide is available on youtube.
- Connect necessary pins to ECU connector plug.
- Connect boot pin to correct location. There are two processor types available on the EDC17C10 ECU; TC1796 (2MB internal flash, 2MB external flash) and TC1797 (4MB Internal flash).
- ID the ECU.
- Take a read of all memories present.
- Email the software to remap@hdi-tuning.co.uk along with a description of the remap you require.
- Send payment through our webshop.
- We will modify the software and send back to you. This normally takes less than 2 to 3 hours during working days.
- Using the same tool, ID then write to the ECU. This will overwrite the ECUs memory, it’s important not to interrupt the process. If you encounter any problems we can fix the ECU for you so there’s absolutely nothing to worry about, if you made a backup of all memories you’re extra safe in the event that something were to go wrong.
- Straighten the lid on the ECU and seal with a little silicone.
- Refit the ECU and start the engine.
- Let your engine warm up and then take the car for a spin, enjoy the extra power!
