Hi guys. I see you all have your cars tuned. Any other mods like air intake and exhaust to accommodate for the tune?

How's the gearbox doing with those high torque figures? Any problems with the auto gearboxes?

Ferdi, where did you get your LED Fog Lights? I wanted to buy LED Fog Lights from BimLand Performance, but it seems they are closed/out of business.

I have Lux Angel eyes fitted to my cabby.

personally never had any issues with the box, going strong and shifting smooth.

mo from auto xcesorise in lenz has them.

paid 2k for complete interior and fogs. massive difference.

Thanks for the reply bro. Can you please give me a website for the shop? Can't find it on Google.

So the map has been loaded and I have done around 170km on wet roads which means I couldn’t do proper testing as one should.

I did one or 2 runs where I found a semi-dry patch and am in awe. The power deivery is super smooth and the torque just doesn’t seem to stop (Traction control light also doesn’t stop flikkering in this weather).

The car drives smooth and feels 100% standard untill you step on it and let loose. Average fuel consumption so far is 6l/100km (not because of my great self control). This will change fairly soon once I get to drive on dry roads and properly test the newfound power out.

Tomorrow I will be doing an after run at KAR and will post the results in due course :thumbs:

Did u do downpipe aswell?

Well done Ferdi, you gonna love the extra peri peri :cartel:

Thanks man.

I have not yet fitted a downpipe. I am planning on doing it fairly soon in the new year as well as sourcing and fitting an N54 intercooler.

The car is driven over weekends only and drivenly calmly most of the time, but the extra peri peri is for the times when I feel like playing a bit. This is the only reason I went for SW only to begin with as the motor shouldn’t really have any extra strain on it if you consider how often and in which manner it’s driven.

Thanks Ray!

I can’t wait to properly test it out and see what she does on the road. I’ve covered around 170km after having it mapped so I’m sure she’ll come alive now. Haven’t really had the opportunity to test it yet

YAY!

This is awesomness bro!!!

 

[FerdiBotha]

So the news is in...

Here is the before and after dyno on my car:

Gaining 50wkw and 170nm with a map only is remarkable. I am truly happy with the results.

Can similar power gains be achieved on a pre lci 330d with just a remap?
