Tuning remapping a 1.9 multijet 150t upto 212 bhp

[TMC Motorsport]

Custom means you can have it how you want. The tuning box is set to whatever the guy who sets it thinks is right. You might not want that set up, you might want more or less bhp or torque. You might want to fine tune the torque curve. You might want it to take into account other modifications, such as I had with the GSR induction and the exhaust which will be added soon.

At the end of the day, its up to the individual owner to decide. But I know exactly where my money will go, everytime.

Custom does mean adjusted uniquely, however it definately does not mean you can have what you want, any sensible re-mapper will not push an engine to dangerous limits just because thats what the customer wants.

Tuning boxes can also be adjusted to requirements but should have set limits too. If a customer tells me they have extra items fitted that will allow more power the tuning box just like the remap can be configured to suit. Also if customers who bought tuning boxes were in any way disappointed with the results they would be in contact pretty quickly to complain or return their box to be refunded. I have never had anyone do that. As you rightly put it, its up to the individual owner to decide.

wther the exhaust points upwards or downwards does not determine wether a car has a dpf or not either

I didn't just say up or down, if a diesel car has no DPF generally the exhaust tailpipe points down towards the road to direct the smoke downwards and not directly into the car behind, as I also said the non DPF car will have soot inside the tailpipe. On cars with DPF there is no smoke so usually the exhaust will/can point straight out the back not up, straight out because there is no smoke from it the tailpipe will be clean inside. Have a look at most diesels and you'll see this to be true. Older series one BMW X5 Diesels had downwards pointing exhausts, the new shape X5 exhausts all point straight out through the rear valance.

I am not saying that absolutely every DPF/non DPF car applies to this but most i've ever looked at do. You can always look underneath for the DPF.

That's a big power increase over stock. There was another posting on here where somebody did that and found the transmission couldn't take the extra torque and went back to stock. So you might want to up the power in easy stages and see what the car is comfortable with.

I've done this twice with a Coupe and a Barchetta. Coupe was ok but immediately needed better brakes and the clutch gave up soon after. Probably on the way out on an old car anyway. One thing did change..enormous appetite for front tyres.

Barchetta went from 130Hp low torque to 220Hp and 310Nm torque and both gearbox and clutch needed changing within the month...

Modding is a slippery slope, always something else to fix.

I would agree and have tried to make this point several times, turn the power up too high and things will start to give but when I say it I get shot down as talking garbage. You can be lucky and some cars will take the extra power, or some may have flaws from the factory new which only show up when extra load is put on the car like clutch or dual mass flywheel.
It also has alot to do with how the car is driven.
My own car has done 26k in 2 years with power increased 25% and never had any problems, I drive it sensibly 90% of the time but occasionally have a bit of fun with it.

What do you drive mate?

330D Cab Auto with DPF. And exhausts pointing straight out

With the box fitted? How quick is it?

Yes it has rail and boost pressure box because of the DPF, standard car is 231bhp and 520nm, tuned its around 285bhp and 620nm running slightly higher settings. Its very quick but I don't use the power very often, I just love to drive it, its the nicest car i've ever owned.
The model above it the 335d twin turbo is 286bhp and 580nm standard so my car is producing more torque than it in standard form and the 335d is a very fast car. On the point of mechanicals too, the 335d is only available with auto gearbox as BMW felt the manual couldn't cope with the torque. I have put boxes on several 335d/535d and those are just insane, 333 bhp and near to 650nm. The diesel has now caught up with it's M series brother!!

Sadly at the minute it may as well have 10bhp because its been sat in the driveway for over a week, we live in a steep hilly area and BMW's don't go up hills in snow or ice, rear wheel drive is useless in snow. Not normally a problem most years we either don't get snow or its gone in a day or so, this weather is pretty exceptional the snow hasn't melted for 5 days and its -6 outside. Not good....

TMC I sent you an email a couple of weeks ago but never got a reply. I would like to know if you can supply a tuning box for a Bravo 2.0 Mjet 165? Thanks.

My apologies I didn't get it or I would have replied straight away. Yes we can supply a kit for the 2.0 MJet but it definately has a DPF so you will need the fuel and boost control kit at £349 which is in stock. Try emailing again or call anytime on 0845 834 0019 its local call rate. Thanks

All units have 30 day money back guarantee if you don't like it and 3 years product warranty.

TMC excuse my ignorance but can you explain a little more about the fuel and boost control kit? Just curious to find how these differ from a standard tuning box and have you sold any of these to 165 drivers?

Basically on cars with DPF if you only increase fuelling you will have more carbon particles passing through the DPF, if the DPF can't cope it will become blocked and if the dealer can't regenerate it you will have to replace it and they are very expensive.
By increasing boost pressure you increase the air flow through the engine which reduces the carbon and helps keep the DPF clean.

Haven't sold any to 165 drivers yet, this engine seems fairly rare still, but the principal is the same on all DPF cars, my own included.

You can take a chance and fit a fuelling only kit, if the DPF is large enough you may get away with it, but at a cost of over £1300 to replace a DPF is it worth taking the chance?

TMC thanks for your quick informative response. Would there be any discount for being the first 165 driver to have one?
