How are your 320d doing so far?

i thought Malaysia Diesel car from BMW does not have CAT or is it DPF ?

wow...seriously 230kph!! it is a hot ride man. dont worry about the rotten egg smell. as u said, u kaw kaw race the car and the CAT just is just doing it works. it depends what diesel you are using and suffer content level from each pump. yeah...if you want the customized map, i can do that.

DynoDynamic is available in Millinium Motorsport Sunway. If you keen to dyno your ride, can arrange for it.

Cheers.

oops my bad..ya i was thinking on wheel..
pity i never got to try a before dyno, unless someone whats to give it a go. only RM70 a run!
I'd still want to take up on your offer to plug it up with the powerkit. Calvin told me i had the tools in my car to actually unscrew the front braces to fit the vector.

bro derek, pls let carlsson try your vector with his powerkit and performance exhaust, see got any issues with the engine or have significant additional increase in hp and torque...!

hi Carlsson,

that is great! let's give it a try and most probably the next upgrade is you need a full 4-points harness buckle seat Call for the ultimate test!

hi dark1234,

all cars has CAT nowadays. for local diesel model, no DPF. even in Europe you have a choice to get DPF or not but UK is a must :-(

btw, when is your turn to get Vector

The key to dyno for me personally is to run your car on the same dyno with the various setups, best to always have a stock baseline figure so you would know the power difference with each mod. I have been both to GT Auto and Vision in Sunway. GT auto gives me a lightly higher power rating compared to Vision. Reason why I go to these two shops was because my other VW kaki's also go to these places so you can always do a good comparison.

 

[Mavik]

So basically we all need to go to one place and stick to it for comparison

u dyno your ride with D mode and let it upshift? then your chart is very strange? where are all those dip when gear changing? seems like you are in a fix gear, no?

fyi, Vector also has jumper for user setting but to me it is just a minor adjustment. some tuning box claim can do low, mid, high end setting which to me is just a 'selling point'. isn't is great if the tuning box can make full range improvement? maybe that is just me. for Vector it is fully digitized using AMTEL processor and will do internal switching by demand. also, Vector will not increase boost, therefore reliabilty of turbo is maintained.

i checked with the dyno guys, and you're right, they stuck to 4th gear for the many runs we did! aya, wrong info earlier.
interesting therefore to see that the 320d chart is much squigglier than the 520d's. the only difference is the transmission train, so there must be something about the characteristics of the 8 cog vs the 6 cog ZF's.

hmm, i think that many would agree the more variables you can adjust, the better the tuning. hence, being able to also tweak the boost is an added advantage, which should be able to result in a much better map.

hi morrogan,

it is not surprise to see similar characteristic as 520d or 320d having identical engine. it is strange to see after DTUK has poorer low end between 1,750-2,250 RPM for some of the maps. maybe just dyno errors.

don't think that dyno errors are the cause. they did multiple runs of each map and stacked them on top of each other to check for consistency. i have a theory - the 1500-2500rpm band is probably where we spend most of our time, and it's the most critical band for rampup of the power/torque delivery. hence the maps are probably intentional, either tuned for smoother delivery or higher efficiency (could be either power or fuel management). those of us who've already DTUK-ed our rides have had many conversations of which map and boost setting we individually like best, as our driving styles differ. it does make for a good conversation topic, hehe, and when we get bored with one particular setting, there's always another one to try out.

hey, we'd love to see dynos of all the vector settings on the 320d for comparisons against DTUK and the Powerkit.

at the end of the day, the proof of the pie is in the eating, and i can say that i'm an extremely satisfied user of DTUK on my 320d. :4:

This thread really poison me to get my ride tuned as well. Vector or DaTUK...

mikey, beware! belum cuba belum tahu. sekali cuba, tiap-tiap hari mahu

Aight! it is on! lol

great! i will get one ready for you to rock & roll when? friday?
