Tuning - Check30 - 07-03-2013
A friend of a friend took his car to a garage today to have his R reg dturbo tuned he was told that his car is now 128 bhp.
They added some sort of box and he claims its faster is there anything of that sort you can buy for these engines?
RE: Tuning - Piggy - 07-03-2013
Is that a HDi turbo diesel or the 1.9??
and what garage was it?!
RE: Tuning - Check30 - 07-03-2013
Its a 1.9
Carnt remember the name i will find out
RE: Tuning - Piggy - 07-03-2013
tuning box on a 1.9?! no, they dont do them.
Its mechanical injection so its all mechanical adjustments.
How do they know its now 128bhp??
And how much did he pay for his 36bhp upgrade?!
FYI....dont need to go to a garage to tune a 1.9dturbo...just a couple of tools and find the online guides! (=free)
RE: Tuning - cwspellowe - 07-03-2013
If it's a 1.9 on an R reg it's a DTurbo. If that's the case the garage is talking bollocks if they added a black box and said it's faster.
Pretty much any mods to get a DT to that kind of power are almost invisible to the eye. Just a couple of nuts/bolts need fiddled with and to the untrained eye will still look stock.
I'd advise your mate to ask what the garage actually did...
How much did he pay out of interest?
RE: Tuning - CJ_Derv - 07-03-2013
1.9 doesnt have an ecu so nothing can be plug and play its all mechanical tuning
RE: Tuning - Check30 - 07-03-2013
Thats exactly what i thought
£250 think hes been robed
RE: Tuning - Piggy - 07-03-2013
holy cow!!!!!!!!!!
Think we can start making some money if we can 'tune' a dturbo for £250!!!!!
RE: Tuning - CJ_Derv - 07-03-2013
f*cking hell day light robbery id say want money back and say going to get trading standards involved and tell him to explain hes researched and thers no ecu etc
RE: Tuning - Piggy - 07-03-2013

Almost? It's definitely worth calling them. Name and shame the garage too.

I think the key point here is he claims it's faster. It's only faster because his wallet's now empty
RE: Tuning - Piggy - 07-03-2013
yeah...placebo....
need to name and shame this garage defo.........or....where is it...we should go down there and all enquire about tune ups, then rip them apart over it....queue up, one at a time and do the same!
RE: Tuning - Check30 - 07-03-2013

Maybe they're what's in the black box?
RE: Tuning - puglove - 07-03-2013
As above, make sure you get a pic of the box / the wirering & where its "plugged" into? also if he lets you open up the box and get a snap of that

RE: Tuning - Piggy - 07-03-2013

Flux capacitor init
RE: Tuning - Jonny81191 - 07-03-2013
I'd name and shame the garage, then maybe someone with some knowledge can drop round with the guy who's got ripped off, with a video camera and ask some intelligent questions, watch them get really confused and spout bullshit, then ask what they did to make "128 BHP", get them to explain then send the whole video over to trading standards and put it on youtube
