Exclamation Petrol & Diesel Tuning Chips

Evening all,

Thought I'd pop you a message. Next week my Ebay shop is going live and I will indeed be selling diesel and petrol tuning modules/chips which increase performance but more importantly save on fuel.

You can expect around 30% more BHP, 35% more torque and a 15% saving on fuel.

Do let me know if you are interested, just having my web designer finish off the last few bits and pieces with regards to the Ebay listing then we should be good to go.

I can provide them for petrol and diesel engined cars vehicles - Just pop me a pm with your make/model and engine of car and I'll come back to you with the right chip.

Thanks,


James

Oooo, just what I've been waiting for but before I take the plunge can I ask a few questions:

i) have you cleared your status as a trader now on the forum?

ii) A gain of 30% on the EUIII D5 would take it to 217bhp and 460Nm (from stock 163 and 340 figures). Funnily enough I've just had my remapped D5 dyno'd at 195bhp and 450Nm. Do you have a dyno plot to share please to show the gains?

iii) Can you explain how the "chip" interfaces with the cars control systems, particularly the engine management routines in case of issues? You must know, being the seller of such an item and having the technical background, that simply injecting more fuel without looking at other parameters such as boost, injection timing, etc might lead to issues such as increased exhaust gas temperatures, overfuelling and soot generation, etc. If there is an issue with the engine the built in routines will put the car into limp mode to protect itself until diagnosis can be undertaken.

I've been doing a bit of research into diesels and increasing the performance. Unfortunately, info on the D5 engine inparticular is a bit thin on the ground.

If I can get to 220bhp I'd be a happy chappy.

Thanks

Hi. Mine is a 2003 V40 1.9D (115bhp) Sport Lux and I would like to know the price of the mod chip please ? Is this an easy DIY fit and it's economy, rather than power, that I am looking for. Thanks

Hi there,
There are a few of us that are interested, and would ask the same or simular questions.
So any chance of putting an answer on here ?
(It could save you a lot of time sending to all who ask) and give us all a further insight to the workings. and poss costs.
cheers,
Joe

"Advert" was placed on more than one sub-forum.

Not much forthcoming than can be found from other sellers of these boxes

The first thread in the list appears to have more "information" than the others.
