Ford Transit SID211 ECU Specialist – 2.0 EcoBlue (2016–2019)

The 2.0 EcoBlue Ford Transit is a capable and efficient platform, but many left the factory with software designed to suit multiple power outputs and operating conditions.

At RubyTune, we specialise in safely optimising the SID211 ECU to improve how your Transit drives, pulls, and performs — particularly for working vehicles.

When calibrated correctly, the improvement in drivability and usable performance is immediately noticeable.

Factory power and torque variants

All Ford Transit models fitted with the SID211 ECU use the same 2.0 EcoBlue engine and core drivetrain components. The primary difference between factory variants is the ECU calibration.

These vehicles left the factory with one of the following outputs:

105 PS and 360 Nm
130 PS and 385 Nm
170 PS and 405 Nm
185 PS and 420 Nm

This means lower-powered variants can safely benefit from improved performance when calibrated correctly, as the engine and hardware are already designed to operate at higher output levels.

How your Transit benefits from correct ECU calibration

Torque is the key factor in how your vehicle performs, especially when carrying tools, equipment, or operating under load.

Owners typically notice:

• Stronger pulling power under load
• Improved acceleration and responsiveness
• Less need for frequent gear changes
• Smoother and more relaxed driving
• Improved overall drivability in daily use

The vehicle feels more capable, easier to drive, and better suited to its intended purpose.

Option 1: Factory-aligned power upgrade

Where appropriate, we can apply a higher factory-aligned calibration, increasing power and torque within Ford’s original engineered limits.

For example, vehicles originally producing 105 PS and 360 Nm or 130 PS and 385 Nm can safely operate at higher factory output levels such as the 170ps or 185ps options from the factory.

This option:

• Retains factory protection strategies
• Improves usable torque and drivability
• Maintains engine and drivetrain reliability
• Is ideal for working commercial vehicles

This provides a noticeable improvement while remaining fully within the engine’s original design capability.

Option 2: Bespoke ECU calibration

For owners wanting stronger performance beyond factory calibration levels, a bespoke ECU remap allows further optimisation of torque delivery and throttle response.

This is particularly suited to:

• Lighter-use vehicles
• Lifestyle and personal vans
• Owners wanting improved responsiveness

We only recommend this where the vehicle’s condition, maintenance history, and intended use make it appropriate.

Our focus remains on safe, sensible improvements.
