Hello all to all diesel beemers,For those who interested to boost up their diesel burner, pls check out this trend.http://www.bmwclubmalaysia.com/forums/showthread.php?t=13760I just install a Vector-Tuning box and it can knock down about 2 sec for 0-100kph sprint!

hi to all oil burners,

just to update you all that a few customers from thailand bought the vector-tuning box from me and results are positive? they are driving 520d.

anyone interested?

how this compare to HARTGE

hi r37720,

thks for your interest in the tuning box. i just took a quick look at Hartge and it is a specialist in tuning BMW. it is not a tuning box as what i understand but a total replacement of your ori ECU with a performance tuned.

looking at the improved figures, it is very compartible with vector tuningbox which is what i am offering. housepower & torque increase about 20% generally.

i am using a vector tuningbox on my own fiat JTD (turbo diesel) and very satisfy with the performance and price i paid for. vector tuningbox is designed to work in tandem with your current ECU and only modified the fuel feeding system. it does not change any parameters of your ECU which is good to me and can be removed easily. however, i don't see a reason to remove it once tried out.

vector tuningbox comes with proper harness and no wire cutting at all. just plug n play and it is meant for DIY. it got 7-steps setting to fine tune the performance.

pls surf www.vector-tuning.com for more info or contact me at asia@vector-tuning.com for direct purchase. i am the sole distributor for Asia.

thks.

DEAR SALESMAN with your fiat JTD,

vector-tuning box? more power, more push.. from a piggyback interceptor/potentiometer box? and its only gonna cheat your dme to dump more fuel?

oh yeah it works with figures to show!!!right..

so what about reliability?? haha here is what they dont tell you.....potential future fuel delivery system failure from increase injector duty, no thanks to the box of cause, which could lead to pinging/detonation, o2 sensor failure, sooty exhaust, cat failure and most of all a total lost of your car's warranty from the manufacturer, it doesnt matter if you take off the box before you claimed or not, the data log will show all the fuelling errors.

wanna sent your e60 to be a guinea pig for a future disaster at your own expense??

or get a proper performance tuning done by a bmw specialist ....should be a no brainer right?

knock knock momo,

u sounds like pro in this but i wonder did u really try on the vector-tuning before. if not, pls don't simply spit on people. no doubt there are a lot of potential meter and people call it a 'tuning box'. i am aware about it. vector-tuning is not as simple as u said.

do u think a product like that can last long in the market? pls think real...o.k. do u want to smell my JTD exhaust and see if u can find dark shoot? what u mentioned is already history. all tuner knows that putting a resistor to fool the fuel pressure is a gimmick. do u dare to write a similar letter to others tuning company like Tunit.uk that making similar tuning box and telling them their product is just a resistor box? unless u want to get yourself messy.

so pls don't condemn a product before knowing or testing it. fyi, bmw is not a lab test. many in europe already using it. however, i do agree having a remap on ecu will extend the performance but again will shorten engine lifespan too. i don't think bmw malaysia will accept any claims with mod right? maybe your brain is too narrow.

tazztham,
I do drive a 525d. Much happier now than i was with my e39.
Well, I am sure the product works. Quite interesting actually.
But the question is how well in terms of long term reliability.
Took the liberty to surf the product website especially the
"Fragen zu Tuning". http://www.vector-tuning.com/info2.php
First thing that i notice is the Q:
Why do automanufacturer dont adjust the optimal value of their cars?
All cars are built for the worldwide market. In other countries,
the petrol quality is not the same as us (Germany)....
Hmmm, do u know how good is our Malaysian Diesel compared to Germany?

Secondly, there was this Q:
Will the car after the modification have a shorter lifespan?
....Only with constant sporty driving must the car change oil every 10k KM.
So my Q to u is: Do u know our BMW diesel service interval is 15Kkm?
Should i tell AB that i need to service earlier since all new BMWs come with free service up to 60K km that i mod the car?
Also, i assuem the 10k is a guideline for Euro4 diesel?
So what is the recommedned oil change for our malaysian diesel then?

So as the distributor of the product, do u warranty us against engine damage? I hope people can be more responsible when recommending their products. Nevertheless, if i am staying in Germany, I would have gone for it.

hi mrt,

i am glad that u pick a diesel and i am sure you find it more 'fun' to drive and cost saving too. i am not sure where did you get those questions...but the proper info in english related on your 2 questions as as below.

Why doesn’t the manufacturer just set the vehicle to the optimal value?

The manufacturer builds a car for the global market. In other countries, the fuel often doesn't correspond to our quality norm. Furthermore, continuous running at extreme heights can impair combustion. These, of course, are characteristics that do not have to be taken into account in Europe. The manufacturing tolerance can also be a factor. When the vehicle is on the test stand after production, the output might have to be boosted somewhat. That’s why tolerances are necessary.


Will the car have a shorter service life after the alteration?

The performance tuning is tuned in such a way so that none of the limit values of the vehicle or the engine and all related components are exceeded. Although the performance increase can be very clearly felt by the driver, our boxes work constantly in the power reserves of the engine parts and add-on parts. Extra servicing jobs on the engine are not necessary. Only if you are driving in a constantly ‘sporty’ style will you need to change the oil every 10,000 km.

FYI, one of the malaysia 525d has been using the vector tuning box for close to 6mth now. I understand from him the service interval is determine by his i-Drive system where dynamically monitoring the engine oil quality etc and do a count-down on next service. I believe, he don't do fix internal service. Your on board computer will optimize the consumables.

I hope this help to clear your doubt a bit. Thank you.

Dudes whats the hue and cry about?

Check out any of the brit BMW mags and stuff like these abound.... DMS, AMD, Superchips, Viper, chippedUK all offer similar products to harness the untapped potential of diesels and/or turbodisels.

Its practically the only way to tune modern BMWs today. And yes people like DMS claim that it is 'undetectable' as well as easily reversible and given their rock solid reputations (or rather from what I have read about them), I wouldnt doubt them.

The days of old skool performance tuning are probably numbered - manipulation of the engine management, FI (turbo or supercharge) and, in some cases, straighforward engine swaps are probably the way forward. Check out the latest and greatest from AC Schnitzer and Hartge.... (Hartge is the one that favours engine swaps.... the easiest way to get massive performance increases eg their E46 M3 based H50).

Apparently, to the Europeans, the future is diesel.... the first diesel race cars are already making their way onto the track.... and every other car sold today are diesels.... problem is diesel prices are going up here in boleh land... but thats a different story altogether.
