As the title states. Ive just bought a 120d and wondered if anyone knows how to make them go a little faster. Its a 55 plate. I dont want to ruin the economy too much
Cheers Jon

 

a remap

 

iirc these respond well to a remap. My brothers old E46 320 certainly did

 

I'd guessed at that stu, I was hoping for a little more info though. Who does the good maps, any other bits worth changing, decat, filter etc etc

 

Any ideas where it was mapped pal?

 

Rob at SCC in St Albans did it for him, think it was a REVO remap. Certainly delivered the goods and the whole drivability was improved

 

Hi
Check out burger tuning.com You will have to google it. They are a bmw tuner in the states but do have an outlet over here.

They have everything you need. Once ive ran my 1m in then i'll be buying a tuning box from here.

 

awesome with a re map..

Find an evolution dealer somewhere,it will transform your car!!

 

Not sure how it would be with a remap AND a decat i would guess the emissions would be too high?

Theres a few good places around the country try a bmw forum for recommendations or a bit of googling , but new turbo diesels respond sooooo well to a decent remap always surprises me how quick they are compared to the older style diesels.

 

Diesel cars just have a smoke test not an emissions test.

 

Thats what I thought. Surely anything that lets it breath easier will be a benefit.
Keep the info coming please guys

 

Evolve in luton come highly reccomended for remaps and tuning in the bmw scene, sure they would be able to give you some advice on what other mods are worth doing aswell

 

Bugger me 200 horses would be nice, I'll give them a call I reckon

 

Reason modern dervs respond so well to a remap, is as they are, in essence, restricted from the factory.

The reason being is powerful 'Nox' emissions, by advancing the injection timing you make far more efficient use of a given amount of fuel, thus a win win situation in terms of power and economy, BUT not good from a emissions perspective.

I always wonder how it works in relation to an MOT, as you now have harmful pollutants being emitted?

drive downhill. hth

 

I dunno if its the same as the E46 320d, but my 320d had a cat directly after the turbo, As well as the main cat. It is vey restrictive and causes a lot of heat, decatting this releases more horses and makes it a shit load more responsive. Absolute bitch of a job to change though!

 

Drop a yb in it !

 

I'll look into that pal, cheers. Ive got a pal who makes bespoke exhaust systems I may get a quote

 

We can do them no probs, my 320d is now over 200bhp and returning 60mpg on a steady cruise.

One of my new intercoolers may even fit, along with a full decat, swirl flap and egr removal

 

That sounds good but expensive. tell me more please James. PM if you want to

 

Have you spent all your money or are you willing to pay me the £80 you are due me yet?

 

Prices vary depending on your exact model and ECU model, £359 to £450

Typical gains of just a remap are 30bhp and 60nm of torque.

Other mods are extra, intercooler should be retailing at around £350,00 when complete, and it MAY fit your model, however it has been designed to fit the 3 series E46.

 

isnt that PON in your sig LOL

 

ok, in your sig pic there is brian badonde a picture of a chimp, and what looks like to be a picture of Richard Nathan (PON)

PON is the one in the middle

 

yes you do dave!

 

Why do i owe you £80???????
