plug and play

plug and play

I'm innately sceptical of any system which claims to be so generic with something so diverse as engine management.

EDIT:
Also the ebay page is written in the same style as the PROVEN results from a $1.99 resistor chip.

No tuning boxes do work, and can be removed anytime you want, unlike a remap.

Seriously? That can work? including the massive performance gain they promise?

Yeah but only on turbo diesels. A remap can see you 35BHP increase. A tuning box sees you a 25BHP increase. (Both within car reliability limits.)

This doesn't work on all cars petrol or diesel. Just the ones specified. Works via the OBDII socket. As mentioned this is cheaper than a remap and does as it states, best thing is you could remove it and put it on your next car (aslong as its compatible) or sell it on. (unlike a remap that stays with the car).

Remaps give the best gains, especially custom maps but generic maps aren't that much better than a generic plug and play tuning box for JTD diesels. Reasons tuning boxes only give 25BHP is to not push the car to the extremes, giving no adverse effects later, like clutch slip etc. A custom remap could see 75BHP if not more from a Bravo JTD but will it handle it, definately not.

I've never seen tune-it boxes this cheap before. usualy they are dearer than a remap, such as the £300+ bluefin from superchips...

my only doubt would be he quality of the part...

Bluefin are for fords i think. Since i had my car remap'd, tuning boxes where circa £200. I chose the more expensive remap as i wanted the extra horses it could offer. This was two or more years back. Prices have dropped now. With an ever expanding tuning company competition and cheaper electronics prices have started to fall.

Tuning boxes can be used on cars that can't be remap'd like non common rail diesels. The TD100 for instance.

Is there an equivalent type technology for petrol?
For example the 1.2

no. That would need to be a remap. on the td's it adjusts fuelling and turbo boost.

Plug 'n'Play

Why not buy yourself an OBD connector /interface,
search and find KWS2000 DOS program and set your ecu yourself, the help ya mates and do theirs?
 
Bluefins are indeed for Fords. I did a bit of research before i bought the skoda, as i was gonna get a mondeo TDCI. An ST if i could have afforded it. (turns out I couldn't unless i took finance out over 5years! Um, no thanks)

So which 1 of these OBD KWP200 would you need for a Bravo 1.2?

Jus found em on ebay, don't know which 1 2 get?
 
obd

you have to know firstly if you have the mk2 or mk3 type interface on ur motor. 86-99 Brav's are mk2
also you might wanna check at ur local friendly fiat garage, mine are well helpful to me (and across the road) I would reccommend if you wanna buy interface from ebay, you contact seller first and get as much info as poss.
I have an kws200 prog, after much sourcing on tinternet, but how much it works on motor, i'll only find out WHEN i get to connect and run it.
