Im sure hes taking it in good heart

I have tried to make your very point about big increase in power affecting components but was told I was talking rubbish, thanks for confirming my point.

Some tuning boxes may be fixed as you say, our rail pressure unit can't be altered by the customer but is completely adjustable by me before being sent out, on rail pressure kits the fueling can be altered at 19 different points through the rev range. With multi channel kits I can alter fuelling and boost independantly at any point in the rev range. If you want 5 bhp I can give you that but who does. I send the kits out with settings for the safest and best performance installed, if you don't want the full power just don't put the accelerator to the floor. Some of our kits are adjustable but mainly for Japanese cars tuned over injectors.

We do sell an injector tuning kit for the new 1.6 Fiat diesel which does have adjustment inside the unit.

I havent got a problem with any statements you have made so far.

You seem to know alot and your product has made a fellow member very happy so all i can say is keep up the good work!

Happy new year

i had mine upto 220bhp but it was too smokey lol
also a proper live map is the best route to go as all cars have different tolerences from factory and wear! But i can understand people would want the tuning box as its cheap and easy!

I know what you're saying but it makes no sense when you think about it.

Spend £8k on a car then potentially damage it by trying to save £100 on not getting a remap.

Just a thought here, whilst all engines may be slightly different due to manufacturing tolerances they all get the same basic ECU and mapping. So by fitting a reputable tuning box you are just providing a more accurate map which should works within the tolerance of the engine and dependencies.

I've been selling tuning boxes for 10 years now and in that time not 1, NOT 1 car has ever suffered damage, post this message anywhere on any forum and find me someone to prove me wrong on this.

Once again the forum rules broken: You may not use discussions to recommend, praise, or belittle other products or services, or any company; without first hand experience of those products or services.

We sell these kits worldwide, the reason many people buy them is because they don't have the option of a remap, yes some other countries are not like UK which now probably has more remapping places than sweet shops!

Oh and by the way many of our customers fit boxes to brand new 40 or 50 grand BMW or Audi's , many of the latest ones using the latest Bosch EDC17 ECU's have had the write facility removed by the manufacturer to stop re-mapping (these ECU's will be fitted to Fiats and every other make in the near future too)! I have started supplying boxes in the last few months to about 7 remapping companies who approached me because there are so many models they can't map now. All Japanese cars with Denso ECu's can't be mapped, tuning boxes are the only way to tune those, again we have sold thousands of these units, they go as far afield as Australia, New Zealand, Singapore and again never a single problem even running in 45 degree temperatures.

Your comments may be directed at cheap Ebay type tuning boxes but not at mine so once again before you tar every product with the same brush get your facts straight.

remap for me if i do it

 

[lyubohar]

Tuning box first for me to see what it is, then a remap if needed. Tuning box being riskier than remap is total bull**** for me. It doesn't make any sense. It's probably quite the opposite as usually "custom" means close to the limits. While "universal" means being more on the safe side.

You hit the nail on the head! Its simple logic, think of someone lifting weights, the heavier you lift the higher you increase the chance of injuring yourself. An engine is no different, it has its limits and the further you push it to perform closer to those limits the higher you increase the chances of something breaking. :bang:

I have had 4 cars remapped or fitted with tuning boxes:
97 Rover 220sdi (tuning box)
04 Fiat Stilo JTD (Remapped)
06 Vauxhall Zafira VXR (tuning box 320bhp!!! with other mods of course, but it will kill any standard "hot hatch" on the road!!! my brother got it now)
08 Fiat Bravo Mjet (tuning box)
Funny enough, the only car I had problem with was the remapped Stilo, between the other 3 cars, I have done over 150k miles between them and they never let me down once and the best thing was I can always remove the tuning box and sell it on. Just want to share my experiance on both remapped and tuning box, peace!!!! :slayer:

It may just give you a different perspective on the whole issue!

I have full respect for reputable experience tuner as well as reputable tuning box company. However in place like Hong Kong, unless you are driving a high power Jap car, BMW, Audi, VW etc., it is difficult to find a tuner to remap your car due to the small market volume. So for low volume cars like the Bravo, tuning box is the only option, whether you like it or not.

If you have other additional modifications on the hardware, such as bigger turbo, large inter-cooler, big injectors, flow head, aggressive fast cam etc., then live map is really the only way to go.

If you have a totally standard car, and if the tuning box company is willing to provide parameters on Power / Torque / Economy, then it is pretty competitive to a mildly tuned live-map setup.

TMC your website is not working correctly - selected my make , model, engine and thats it no selection to make no price no nothing just the empty cart appears top right

I have a 1.9 mjet diesel 150 sport - how do I tell if it has a DPF I thought all the did and which kit do I need (Ive read there are 2) and what is the price including delivery

Apologies, that was my fault, I tried to change the photo with one type of product, the value kit, when I deleted the image it deleted every product related to that image.

I'm just off the phone with the web designer who says its no problem to fix it but it won't be until tonight. So everything will be running again normally later. It only affects the value kits nothing else.

If your car has DPF normally the exhaust points straight out and is clean inside (no soot) if this is the case you will need fuel and boost pressure kit at £349 to forum members. If tailpipe points towards the ground and is black with soot inside there is no DPF and you can use the Value kit at £115 to forum members.
Again the site will be back to normal later, apologies for the problems. I ignored the golden rule, if its not broken don't fix it

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.
