He has asked to try my Red Box and I am happy to oblige as it is only a few minutes job, but am unsure whether it will be suitable for the more powerful engine version.
Can you please advise?

Thanks,

Sven

As per our convo earlier today, the box will work on there without any issues

Hi Andy

Just wondering if you have any performance data for a 118d? I think my wife might benefit from a bit of extra power and better mpg

Hi there,

what age is the 118d, if its newish then its going to be the same engine as Sven's 318d

Minimum power gains from the 118d are as follows:

118 D 122 PS 90 (122 PS) 117 (159 PS) 280 Nm 360 Nm
118 D 136 PS 100 (136 PS) 116 (158 PS) 300 Nm 370 Nm
118 D 143 PS 105 (143 PS) 133 (180 PS) 300 Nm 385 Nm

Andrew@DTUK - I'm looking for a little more power for my 163bhp 320D

Tuning boxes, basically you appear to be intercepting the fuel injection pulses and prolonging them by about 10% to deliver the extra fuel. What else are you doing with the two channel boxes, do you increase boost or do you vary the signal modification by taking in to account throttle position essentially making a 2D additional injection map?

Seeing as the OBC MPG is calculated against the fuel map will this give a false displayed increase in MPG by fitting a tuning box as opposed to a remap?

The fuel tank range seems to be calculated roughly from the MPG compared to the tank volume, will fitting a tuning box also incorrectly increase the displayed range?

Hi

With the CRD-T were increasing the boost slightly as well as the fuel.

As for OBC readings i would say that the fuel computer can sometimes be thrown out, but from my own experience and from feedback from customers i would say that 90% (at least) see genuine savings.

A member of a Vectra forum i know would always state that the OBC would be innacurate with a box fitted, this was until he actually added a Green box to his Insignia and worked it out manually, i think with and without the box his OBC was about 5% out.. It was a case of him eating his words.

So yes there is a very small chance of the obc being interfered with, but this is very small and the only way to test this is to manually calculate your fuel in both standard and tuned forms

Yes it is a newish one, so I can look forward to 180 PS approx. Happy Days

Will be in touch soon. Is it an acceptable birthday present for my wife? lol

Is the CRD-T the top of the range chip for a 335d?
Thanks

Yes mate, the system was developed on my own 335D's before the mrs made me sell it for her (cough cough) Audi TT..

Where abouts are you based in the North East? Youre more than welcome to pop up and try a system

Hi Andrew, been reading the thread with interest

Im just down the road from you in Gateshead so fancy a trip up to see you when I get the chance, in the mean time what would you recommend for my 08 E90 320d (177ps)?

Anyone on here running a system on the same car as mine care to give me some feedback on what they are running and what its done for the car?

Hi there,

youre more than welcome to pop up to see us/try a box.

I would recommend the CRDT for the 177PS, have a word with MAGIC77 as he's been running this system for several months now

I have 2005 320d (163) has anyone who has been running with either the red or green box got any feedback? Looking to buy one soonish and just managed to field it past the other half as a fuel saving credit crunch essential!!!! Forgot to mention the increase in power Shhhhhhhush!!!!!!

[Andrew@DTUK]

If you scroll to the bottom of this page

you will see a selection of testimonials from BMW owners

Purchased the green box and it's in the post, should be with me tomorrow, cheers for the trouble free prompt dispatch Andrew.

Cheers Darren,

Im just on with it now, i was in the throne room when you rang

We'll send it out via Royal Mail Special Delivery Sat Service

[JaySTee]

What sort of insurance increases are we talking about by adding one of these?

Am I asking for trouble by adding a tuning box to a car that has done 75k miles?

You have the same engine as me. How are you getting on with the box?

Thanks

Insurance increases are company dependant, but as we market the Green system as a "fuel saving system", rather than a "tuning module" then the increases should be minimal.

As long as the car has been, and is looked after then 75,000 miles isnt an issue.

[Andrew@DTUK]

these offers are still availble for e90post members

[bbsboy]

Has anyone any experience of a DTUK box on a late 09 320d coupe, 177bhp engine, if so what gains did you get and how did it affect fuel economy.

Thanks
