Merc C200CGI W205 '14 |
I’m grateful to a friend who introduce me to Dylan of DK Tuning.
Yesterday 18 Jun Dylan took almost 9 hours to remap my ride C200
W205. He started remapping at 3.30pm after uninstalled a piggy
back tuning box I’ve been using since 2 yrs ago. At past
midnight he sent a short msg..I’m very happy with the result”
and send me a hand scribble note which doesn’t make sense to me.
Its too late to pick up the car at 1am nevertheless I took the
car at 1pm today. Oh yeah...true to his words... He transformed
my car. The car feel very much faster and responsive. Good power
delivery from low to high power band. What surprise me the car
engine seems quieter than before Tq Dylan for your hard work.
Now the car drives faster and stronger.. I’m excited about
it..and luv it.

Lexus RX350 '14 |
Before Remap:
Lack of the V6 and thrust Power. Need to drag the RPM
around 3.5k to get the power and once hit above 5.5k the
power lost.
After Remap:
The Power obviously noticeable at RPM 2.2k and pull
above 6k the Power and thrust still available. The sound
of Dual VVTI Plus V6 makes the drive so pleasurable.
Dylan such a patient and professional with his Job even
though this car is his first time touching it. Dylan
confident tuning brings the light and power to the Lexus
RX350 and with the amazing crackling and tone of VVTI
playing inside the engine makes the whole new feel. Good
job Brother Dylan!! ^.^

FORD RANGER 2.5 XLT '06 |
very sluggish
throttle response, not enough power for safe overtaking,
topspeed was only round 145 kmh. turbo boost max 0.5 and
takes too long to reach max boost. was very unhappy. it
felt really like on old truck.
very
responsive throttle, boost went up to 1.2 max very
quickly which was fantastic and the ranger pulls very
strongly in all gears .better than what I expected
.drives like a car now
Dylan was
very patient with various remap config until suitable
setting was obtained for crisp low end response with
good mid and top end performance. am very happy now and
this is my 2nd remap experience with DK Tuning. simply
superb job. it has transformed the ranger to an exciting
machine to drive ,Many thanks to Dylan!

SUBARU XV 2.0 '16 |
Hello datok Sri Pinang @ kelantan
Tremendaous savings for xv, rm68 for half tank I can use for 10
days, power wise no need to mentioned which is far more
powerful compared before which only need to accelerate 1/3 of
the pedal the vehicle just sprint all the way.
Really salute your great technology which applied to both our
vehicles, we no longer headache to pump fuels.
Power wise you just need press the pedal softly the power will
just go as compared before which the pedal have to press hard
and power comes also cannot compared as now.
This is what you called fierce power and fuel savings xv!!
before remap I really hell suffer , I use Ron 97 rm15 per day
and sometimes rm30 per day , now as you said no need to pump
ron97 and ron95 giving the above result which I mentioned above.
If I accelerate harder it wil be rm30 per day , normal will be
rm15 per day
I love the wonderfull fuel savings and power wise all the way
Datok drrr sri Pinang you really a great tuner
12/5/17 TRIP FROM LABUAN to KK
==============================
Superb savings use to be 4 bar I need to use the fuel , now only
needed 2 bar with higher speed , better performance in terms
over taking , save time some more only takes me 2 hours instead
of 2.5 hours
This time many overtaking. Good performance overall. Puas hati
the way the car push!
Of were to calculate before remap fuel usage usually rm120 both
ways , now is about rm79.50. And also drive at 90kmh average
with 2 hours , before remap use to be at 80kmh will be that
price of fuel rm120. Very pleased and praise datok technology.
9/8/17
Now my xv able to gain more than
600km per full tank , I drove with keep overtaking and speed of
120km able to get this result , is very very pleased of this
achievement . Beside that each pump able to save rm30.00++ each
compared before which I cannot tahan

26th April 2017
So before engaging with Dylan for his remapping services, I did
Google search on a few other options. Was really surprised to
see how cheap others could remap ECUs for (RM 200 - RM 500).
There's an old saying; "good things are not cheap, and cheap
things are not good."
There's a reason why DK Tuning's price is waaaaaaay higher than
the rest. And after listening to Dylan explaining to me in
detail on the 'cheap' alternatives, you shouldn't settle for
less. Maintaining a car in general can be a headache, I didn't
wanna risk going for the cheap options and opening chances for
things to go mess up for my car.
When I first got the Lancer GT about a month ago, I couldn't
ignore how sluggish it could be going from 0-60. Even pressing
on the accelerator hard, the car was struggling as if it was
going uphill.
I've been pumping RON95, could last me for 300+km per week. I
get stuck in traffic most of the times, Cheras - Persiaran
Tropicana - Cheras for the weekdays, Cheras - PJ on the weekends
(Because your friends will find all sorts of excuses on not
visiting you in Cheras, lol)
With the ridiculous traffic on every working day, at least an
hour to and from work, I check in 17-19L/100km.
On the remapping day, Dylan asked what do I want to get out from
this remapping. I just told him I want the car to respond a lot
better in terms of acceleration and if possible, improving the
fuel consumption.
While remapping, Dylan was great to explain to me the numbers
and difference between the stock settings and the remapped ones.
Honestly, it was a lot for me to digest for the first 10 minutes
but I'm pretty sure I'll learn more on the technical sides of
cars soon.
After flashing it back to the car, off we went for a test drive.
The first thing I noticed was while reversing the car, its a lot
responsive. We were on a straight road down at Bandar Utama and
Dylan gave me clear instructions on switching to manual mode and
flooring it on the 2nd gear till 6k RPM and goodness me the
engine sounds a lot more better.
He wasn't done still, there was some tweaking needed to be done
and he made sure I get my money's worth and everything was okay.
Before thanking him and heading back home, he told me to give
him some feedback on differences.
Friday afternoon, I pumped full tank PETRON RON95, RM 90.
Because last weekend I did more driving than the usual weekends,
I'm estimating to refuel within four days.
As promised, I sent the above images to Dylan and he too was
surprised at the improvements. I did tell him I'll post another
short testimonial if I'm driving outstation.
Not gonna lie, I was thinking twice whether the remapping was
worth the money. But in the long run, I get to travel on the
road an extra day and what not, and it does make a difference.
This one time investments lasts for a looong time.
Thanks Dylan!!

BMW 318i E46 '03 |
To
Remap or Not !! i was hesitant, will the remap stick or
disappear i was skeptical (4mnths wo issues). Will
remapping ruin my engine i was a little worried. But
Dylan washed away all my worries. End results, my ride
now has a smoother revving engine and increased
torque,(mid range). Takeoff from traffic lights is
Especially much faster.
Town driving turned into a
breeze. Overtaking improved (wished we could improved it
even further) as the gearbox became much livelier.
Throttle response is especially sharper and highway
driving is soo easy now. Acceleration from 100-170 is so
much faster and im not even close to half throttle.
Top Speed not tested yet. Fuel
consumption improved a little (Not during asperated
driving). Overall its more fun and power to drive. I'd
recommend remapping especially if ur someone who don't
want adding noisy hardware ie Exhausts n Mufflers or Air
Filters. Thank you Dylan.

7th Dec 2016 (1st
Half MIVEC Mapping Completed)
- Wasn't able to complete the 2nd and final half of the remap
due to time constraint. This would be completed at a later time
on 12th Jan 2017 during Dylan's next trip down to KL.
8th Dec 2016 (Initial Feel Towards The 1st Half MIVEC Mapping)
After the remap, I can definitely feel a power gain, not too
much, but the car definitely moves off from stand still easier
than before. It drives better than before BUT power gain novelty
is slowly wearing off after a day of driving. Maybe the gain is
not too significant yet and maybe because I'm getting used to it
by now.
The different feel in light to mid throttle application is very
significant. The other significant difference is the travelling
speed attained in relation to accelerator depress level. Now, a
steady light depression of about 10 - 15mm can keep cruising
speed at 70km/h on a level road. When the car is at a rolling
speed of between 50 - 70km/h, a fast half way depression of the
accelerator sends the car picking up speed at a faster rate than
before.
14th Dec 2016 (Usual Business Trip to JB)
I pumped rm60 of RON 97 (usually use RON 95 only) this morning,
and then drove at an average speed of 140km/h to JB. I managed
320km. Meaning FC is 8.3L/100km. I must also mentioned that
during my business trips to JB and back, the boot is always
saddled with a heavy load of equipment (about 50 - 60kg) each
time. During the journey, tested revving hard (flooring the
peddle to the metal) on the highway from 0 - 160km/h, there was
no engine knocking at all. But there was a slight
stronger grunt emanating from under the hood. Overall, the remap
did not harm the engine. Everything feels good!
15th Dec 2016 (Travelling Back to KL)
After yesterday's monitoring, I refilled this time with rm60
RON95 as per the norm. I did about 40km in JB town area covering
between Pasir Gudang and Gelang Patah
before heading back to KL straight. I tried maintaining a
constant speed (averaging between 110-120km/h) most of the way
without heavy revving or hard over-taking
maneuvers. The total mileage hit successfully was 420km. So,
this return trip run yielded a FC of 7.52L per 100km. How's that
for FC and performance?
In conclusion - I saved almost 1L of fuel for every 100km
distance if reduce speed to the region of 110km/h as against
140km/h. Therefore, sticking to the speed limit saves you much
fuel and $$$ and most of all personal safety. Sad to say now
that I'm so used to the car that I don't feel the power increase
anymore. The power deficiency syndrome is starting to rear its
ugly head again. Sigh.... ???? (Power! Power! I need more
POWER!!!)
20th Dec 2016 (Daily Driving Update)
I stay in Kepong and use the LDP daily very early in the morning
to get to my work place in Puchong Utama. In the afternoons, I
go driving around industrial areas canvassing for sales. And at
nights, I'm the chauffeur for my 2 kids, going to and fro from
the house to 2 differently located tuition centres. On one
instance, I pumped in rm80 RON95 for a strict round of
monitoring. As usual, covering town driving but with almost no
long queue or stuck in a jam situation. I had average constantly
between 70 - 80km/h for about 80% of the time and there was
about 2 hours total idling time in between; usually this being
from waiting for my kids to finish their tuition classes. And
the total mileage the car achieved this time was 430km. After
doing the maths, the FC came to 9.79L per 100km.
- Before the remap,
for every rm60 of RON 95, I used to get about 270 - 320km.
- After the remap, I can manage about 300 - 350km. Sometimes,
slightly even more. So, there is certainly fuel savings. Is it
significant? I leave it to you guys to go figure.
12th Jan 2017 (Finally, 2nd half of the MIVEC Map Completed)
Yesterday, met Dylan and finally completed the full MIVEC remap.
The initial feel is that the throttle responsiveness is even
lighter now and much much more responsive. The car behaves
totally different now. And the engine grunts strongly when
pressed hard on the accelerator. The newly attained 'sound
effect' is like music to my ears. The moving off from stand
still is so much more responsive. The pick up power and
responsiveness from a rolling speed of between 50 - 70km/hr,
zooming to over a 100km/h has totally improved. The car feels
much much more responsive and pleasurable to drive now. Over
taking cars is a non issue most of the time as you know it will
just go
when you want it to.
(Verdict)
I can safely say, the overall driveability factor has gone up a
notch. I am very happy and satisfied with what Dylan has done to
my car. I'm like reborn and so too feels the car!
For the nay sayers and those who are still sitting on the fence
wondering should I risk throwing in hard earn money to try it
out? My answer is, "JUST DO IT!!!"
Thanks Dylan!!!

I am

stage 1 tuning by dylan, but after hearing the benefits of all 4
different stages explained by dylan, i decided to go with stage
2. No regrets on the decision as dylan made a awesome tuning to
my car, now it feels much lighter and more responsive now
comparing with previous stock settings. Stage 2 tuning has also
improve the fuel consumption of the car, and also bringing a new
experience of driving this car. Awesome job done by Dktuning! :D

Hi Dylan
Just wanted to say
thanks for the work done on my X1, it has completely transformed
the car is into a beast, the stats were impressive(261whp), but
it’s driving it that makes you realise how different it is.
U just cant resist d
power la, bro. I drove Penang-seremban-melaka-seremban-melaka-seremban
right after you remapped. Its like playing video games.
Tremendous Power! Like playing GT. So smooth and acceleration
was superb. If u r a lady definitely im in love hahahaha
You really know what
you’re talking about and what you’re doing there, very very
impressed with the service received and to add to the phenomenal
performance I’m already seeing improvements in my driving which
is just a bonus. I will definitely be recommending you to
friends and family. Looking forward for our next project bro

Ford Ranger 3.2 Wiltrak '12 |
Everything up to expectation!!! As to the
comparison between box and map, I would rate box a 2 and map a 4
if 5 is the greatest improvement. Not sure about the amount of
black smoke yet, the mileage, the max speed ( I breached 180
just now and in very short time) etc... Yet to find out... So
far so good! In fact too much power until the rear wheel keep
spinning when going on wet road.
Very strong pulling torque especially in 3-6 gear. I think the
whole torque curve shifted up quite a lot... and U r right..
Easily 20- 30 % more torque
My friend tested my pickup and gave big thumb up!!!
I feel confident with ur product and what's more ur service!!!
Comments on Tuningbox vs DK Remap:
Box no compare at all. The overall feel, Beginning to the end
feel... Totally different! Map, the delivery of torque and end
power is "earlier and longer" Ur product is thumbs up.
Tuning box no comparison to remap...
I'm really very very pleased to have u remapped my car... This
is that kind of "feel syiok" feeling that I've been hoping
for... Bravo Bro!!! U have made another very happy customer!!!

I’m
proud to say that my 1.8M Inspira was a first for DK tuning and
in summary i would say it was challenging yet totally worth it!
We had 3 sessions of fine tuning and now i’m well and truly
satisfied with how much smoother and faster my acceleration is.
Notable difference to torque and HP!
My commendation as
well to Dylan, he was highly patient and professional
throughout. I owe my driving pleasure to this man. A million

BMW 323i E90 '12 |
I am a returning
customer who previously owned a pug 308 4 speed turbo engine
which Was remapped by you 3 years ago. Obviously was a satisfied
customer and without qualms looking forward to get remapped for
my BMW 323i E90 engine.
For those who has
driven original factory fitted 323i E90 , I am very sure you
have the Same experience as myself where the car is very
sluggish especially low to mid torque range .
You have to floor the
pedal before the engine reacts and response. Another observation
is that the car is under performed especially mid to high , no
wonder they purposely keep it low performance so that they can
sell 325 at much higher price using same engine but tune up map.
After tuning was done
, I can feel the car has gone through transformation especially
The power where low to mid was a huge differential change. I
have not got a chance to go mid to high yet since limited clear
road I can go for long drive. Definitely the car response ,
torque and HP have went up significantly.
Thanks for 2nd hybrid
map just installed today, will let you know the outcome. I am
very sure I will not be disappointed.
Kenny,

Audi A5 2.0 TFSI |
HI Dylan, it is good to have the A5 Audi tune up by you,
previously was really bad in terms of throttle, but after
tune by you, the speed increase previously when in 200kmh,
the card wont go beyond that but now it easily 240kmh, fuel
comsumption wise, it a little bit more saving but because of
my driving pattern, normally a full tank will only go around
450km . Service level is good, knowledge n experience is
good also, at least Dylan have a Sifus in Germany that knows
car very well in case of something which never encounter, he
can well reach out to the more expert guy for advise. You
would not find a guy which he don’t know how to settle
things and no one to turn to. Thanks.

Ford Fiesta 1.0 Ecoboost |
Thank you for
the tuning box. Indeed i can feel improved performance
and torque although on paper it didnt show much. Perhaps
a dyno will put things at ease. Even at 5 and 6th gear
the car can still pull further. Getting to 180km/h (for
a 3pot 1.0T) is easier now. I no longer hear weird
noises from the engine bay at low rpm (seems like
turbine noise, i might be wrong). It is still early to
gauge fuel consumption but so far looks good. full tank
pre-DTE i can get 450km plus, and now I'm not even half
tank I'm almost 300km. Similar driving style. Will
update in the months following.
Your advise,
services and knowledge is very much appreciated. Your
recommendation for octane booster intro'd me to a new
product.
Overall, I'd
come back (if I have other cars to play with). I have a
Peugeot 5008 MPV which is still under warranty. Knowing
Peugeot and its 'reliability', I have time to think
about mapping it yet.
Thanks and
Happy New Year!

Dear Dylan,
Terima Kasih
kerana membantu saya menjana lebih kuasa terhadap
jentera saya. Kuasa hamburan yang diberikan begitu
mengagumkan dan saya amat berpuas hati terhadap servis
yang diberikan tambahan pula anda seorang yang sangat
peramah dan tidak terlalu berkira untuk memberikan
servis yang terbaik. Asalnya saya dapati jentera saya
agak lembap dan tindak balas enjin tidak begitu menarik
untuk di janakan tetapi hasil pemetaan semula ECU Proton
Inspira saya hasilnya sangat-sangat membuatkan saya
ingin memandu jentera saya setiap hari. Prestasi jentera
saya berada pada tahap yang dikehendaki apabila saya
menekan pendikit minyak dan penggunaan bahan minyak
lebih menjimatkan dari sebelumnya. Anda boleh bayangkan
dari kelajuan 80km/h saya hanya memerlukan sedikit usaha
menekan pendikit minyak untuk mencapai tahap kelajuan
yang lebih tinggi dan jentera saya meluncur mengikut
keinginaan saya. CVT juga tidak perlu berkerja lebih
kuat dalam jangka masa yang lama untuk mencapai kelajuan
yang diingini. Saya mendapati perubahan lebih ketara
terhadap enjin saya dimana ketika enjin berada dalam
keaddaan "idle", kekasaran enjin berkurangan selepas
saya melakukan pemetaan semula. Berbekalkan modal yang
mampu bayar, anda telah melakukan lebih dari jangkaan
saya. Terima Kasih dan semoga maju jaya!

BMW 530i E60 '07 |
I
met Dylan 5 years ago when he was a newbie in ECU remap and
have been monitoring his progress since then via his facebook. I
must say that Daylan has progressed tremendously over these few
years in terms of his remapping skills as evident by the numbers
and types of cars he has remapped. Hence I decided to let him
remap my e60 530i and I wasn’t disappointed with the end
results. The car used to have a slight hesitation from low to
mid-range rpm. Now the torque is linear throughout low to
mid-range rpm without any hesitation. Amazing torque and power
from 3,000 rpm onwards and the car is fast on manual mode and
spirit driving with the paddle shifter is really fun and
enjoyable. Fuel consumption has also improved slightly (used to
be 12.6L/100 km and now 12.2 L/100 km).
Well done, Daylan and all the best from BMW Club
Malaysia.

Hi
Dylan,
this is to let you
know that the remapping was done to my full satisfaction.
The speed limiter is
removed, torque and power are better across the full rev range
and the cold-start rpm has dropped from 2000 to around 1200rpm.
All in all, the car
has more "bite" now.

sluggish acceleration , poor throttle response ..After Remap
: sharp throttle response , strong acceleration , can hear
the engine growl , louder intake sound…engine pulls strongly
all the way to redline ….Conclusion : much improved torque
and power – est 20-25 bhp gain with the Kompressor engine
…the car feels very different now and really fun to drive

Limited '12 |
This is one of the best freaking
awesome day of my life yet! The fabulous Dylan of DK Tuning took
a kitten out of my car's ECU & implanted a monster beast back
into it!!! I'm always power hungry for my car! I've read a lot
of Dylan's good testimonies before decided to engaged him to
remap my car. But before the remap, I knew three things have to
be done first. Decat, drop in air filter & most of all, use Ron
98 fuel. After remapping, it turned out exactly what I've always
wanted, BIG AWESOME POWER GAIN!!! He did the most professional
job & delicate as well to my car. We had a few before & after
remap test run. initially, my car was dyno at 203 horse power
but couldn't feel much of the original factory torque 280
NM(newton meter). It took Dylan at least a couple of few hours
to accomplished his work as it was his first model for him too.
But the wait was worth every second of it! Finally, when the job
was done, as soon as I started the car, engage gear & try to
move off, that's where I immediately discovered the car behave
in a complete different manner! A deeper tone from the exhaust,
a louder hissing sound from the blow off valve & most of all,
the whole freaking car is so eager & wanted to leap off!!! For a
moment I couldn't handle it. When we went for the after remap
test, all the reading from timing & speed had a freaking huge
jump!! Some of the time reading was faster by 3 over to 4
seconds! It also reaches 150 km/h with no sweat at all! Throttle
responds was so damn fast that I only tap a little on the
accelerator & it starts to GROWL! Fuel consumption is so good
now that I've achieved 440 kilometer until half tank. Before, it
was 350 kilometer from half tank. The pulling force of the
torque is the bestest here!!! I've driven a Renault sports Megan
260 Cup & I'm proudly to say that my car now feels the same
torque as the Renault!! To confirm all the commotions, I went
for a second dyno test again. I was right, my beloved Citroen
DS4 DSport now has a new DNA of 235HP & 375NM torque!!! Thousand
Thank you to Dylan of DK Tuning for injecting all the good
stuffs & taking away my turbo lags!! Please be ready Dylan, my
wife's Citroen DS3 is your next project. See you soon Bro!

Performance is superbb...so
far didn't encounter any knocking problem...manage to clocked
205 topspeed yesterday...don't dare to go further because of the
traffic. The low end and midrange torque is improved quite a
lot...can feel the pulling power when I rev from 80-140 km/h...
Its worth for the investment! (via sms)

Much better didn't notice knocking till
today. It feel smoother from all the rpm range before
that I feel the drag and slow down in range of
2000rpm-4000rpm.
For my overview, I feel a lot of
different after tune from the whole process we have done
compare to original ECU map. It gain much more power
even more fuel saving. The low end torque also have much
improved. When I just press little on the throttle
paddle, I can feel the pulling power differently. It is
fun to drive. It worth to pay for tune my 1.8L engine
like 2.0L. I'm satify choosing DK Tuning. Thank you very
much.

Thanks
Dylan for working on my Mazda 3 2.0 BL. great job done.
spent a some more than 5 hours for the entire process.
very patient and knowledgeable tuner indeed.
first of all, the car definitely is more
willing to go. I didn't do any actual dyno runs so i
can't provide an exact figure. but again i guess
everyone knows their cars right. the power delivery is
much more smoother, low to mid rev torque has increased
noticeably, and at high end the engine is more willing
to push longer. the reluctance during the exit of
junctions and traffic lights are almost gone.
secondly, the fuel consumption of the car
has improved for around 10 - 15%. this figure is based
on a combination of both highway and town drive-around.
the difference is obvious. i haven't got the chance to
really put the car through a journey long enough to see
how much more it will save, but thus far i am very
satisfied with the fuel consumption improvement.
lastly, i have driving around with the
new map for a couple of weeks now, everything is
perfectly within safety parameter. i have some gauges
that i can use to monitor the basic readings of the car,
and everything is fine, there is even a minor
improvement on the car's water temp after remapping. the
car's gear changing is smooth, there is no knocking from
the engine, ignition timing advancement is all time
higher than original but stable, etc. so i would think
it is safe to claim that the remap from dktuning is
highly reliable.
thanks again dylan for the job done
beautifully!

1.
Performance and drivability has definitely increased when the
car is already in motion like 20km/h and above. Could have done
more in making the throttle response from standstill a little
faster (this is where my car frustrates me the most). Once it is
moving it is great as there are less gear hunting when doing
manoeuvring through traffic.
2. Fuel consumption seems to be improving but only marginally.
3. Can't really fault the service provided by you. Keep it up :)

Dylan,
I like the new remap - better pickup/acceleration at all range.
So far so good especially acceleration at 70-80kph speed.

Just to let you know that the ECU remap that your did for my
1999 W208 CLK230 Kompressor is splendid - got the torque and
acceleration I needed at at level of the
speedometer...Perfect!!! 31/12/13
Managed to test Bangi KLIA LCCT and back...verdict - marvellous
- power at the tip of my toe - Low to mid was excellent -
acceleration is smooth and silky - just love the pace - thank
you for doing a splendid job !!! 1/1/14

Where
do I start, basically, everything has improved! the car now
feel livelier the moment i release the brake pedal, right
from the start, there is more power, less lag, better
throttle response, more torque, more power. What i like most
is the torque on just 1/4 throttle, it just effortlessly
cruises to 160km/h without any fuss or hesitation. I used to
floor the throttle all the time but now, just 1/4 is needed
most of the time, the ease of driving is unbelievable! I
hardly past 3000 rpm in any gear now cos the torque is just
pulling me along, happy with the knowledge that anytime,
full throttle will just pull me away from most normal 1.8
liter cars! Surprisingly, on full or part throttle on the
move, there is no noticeable smoke from the exhaust, only
from standing start, full pedal will just illicit a puff,
then the smoke is gone. So far, every single passenger has
been astonished at the acceleration!
Thanks Dylan!

BMW 325i E90 '06 |
My Baby : E90, 325i year 2005
(non LCI) and I call her Beatrice.
My Issue : Beatrice had poor
midrange RPM Torque and there was always a lag when I am
cruising and then floor the accelerator to overtake. Throttle
response was not as responsive as I would have liked it to be.
Keep having to use the sports and manual mode each time I
wanted the torque to kick in.
My request to Dylan : Get
Beatrice to be more responsive, Improve overall Torque
especially from midrange RPM, Eliminate or reduce the obvious
lag when I floor the pedal.
The outcome : Beatrice has
become a pleasure to drive. My road trip to Penang using a mix
of trunk coastal drive and highway was amazing. The torque
drive in midrange have improved drastically and the lag has also
reduced to a point where it is not so noticable. No more
frustration with Beatrice anymore. She is now a gem to drive.
Throttle response has also improved significantly especially
from dead-stops. And all this is on normal gear. Sports mode
is even more noticeable. I am very satisfied with the outcome
of the re-map.
My experience with Dylan : He
is a very meticulous guy and treated Beatrice as his won when
remapping to ensure she got the perfect map. He was patient and
is very focussed on building and maintaining a long term
relationship with his customers. Thanks Dylan !!
Note : Noticed a slight
increase in consumption but that could be my heavier right foot
now enjoying my moment with Beatrice.
Thanks.

Honda Accord 2.0L '07 (Gen 8th) |
Dear Dylan,
I think my
Accord's engine
to date has already
adjusted itself very well to the
remapped ECU. My car's
performance thus far is great.
Significantly different from
before.
Nevertheless, let
me relate the story line. The
only absence below is facts and
figures becoz I cant formulate
them. But having driven my
Accord regularly for the last 4
years, I can safely say I know
the car's character and
behaviour well :
The remap was
completed 11 pm on Monday, 29
April. After the test run, and
on my way way home, I can
already see a different behaviour from my car. It runs
swiftly, responding well to my
light touch of the gas pedal.
Traffic is not heavy that night.
That gives me the opportunity to
test it out on the highway. True
enough, the ride is fun.
And it continues to behave in
that manner till now (by then I
have topped up the fuel tank a
few times already).
I am now a happy
driver of my Accord. Like I said
before,
whilst driving I
keep wanting to go faster then
any car coming along side me.
Becoz my Accord can confidently
take the challenge now !
Thank you Dylan
for the remap. I wish you all
the best.
TQ and kind
Regards......MJ, KUALA LUMPUR

not only becoz of the car performance that Im happy with but
also because of your perfection in works and the service
after that. 1st day we spent about 4hours and
again next day continue another 3 hours just to find the

The car feels great. No problems so
far. I need to drive it out to Maju Expressway for further
testing :). The car jerks when accelerating from a complete stop
when I hit the pedal too fast though. I had to drive it as
if there was an egg under the gas pedal. I guess I just
need to get used to the extra sensitive acceleration now.

Peugeot 206 2.0 Gti 138hp |
I
am certainly impressed with the gains from this map. It had
better gains than a 407 with dvvt. My stock figures were
138bhp & 190nm. With the remap by DKTuning i managed to get
152bhp and 207nm. Pretty impressive for me as i'm running
only a k&n drop in filter, decat and a supersprint muffler.
The extractor/manifold is stock standard. and no cams were
fitted.
i
felt an increase in torque. It felt more rev happy and the
punch in the mids really nice, power keeps on coming. As the
original was already torquey the increase was really not
ultimately significant. Topspeed i have tried 210km/h ++...
standard i could do 200km/h only coz i will run out of road,
balls will shrink . Topspeed came faster, that i am sure
off. Honestly i expected higher topspeed...
The remap has also eliminated the rev limiter, so i am able
to rev up to 7000rpm instead of 6,500rpm thus improving my
0-100km/h time. I got century sprint in the 7s...with full
load will be 8s *aircond too* so roughly its pretty good,
since im using ron 95 anyway.
Overall for the future i am hoping to get my extractor done
soon, followed by camshafts. I hope the map will be able to
adjust like Dylan said? or maybe would have to remap again
to adjust?kinda confused about that. Whatever it is i am
happy with the results and also impressed with Dylan with
the excellent customer service he provides . I am pretty
confident with his work. Its been a month plus and so far no
problems .
Hope to meet Dylan up one day for maybe possible a tune up?
then i shall belanja Dylan kamheong this time haha!

Dylan’s
patience in improving the mapping for my Mercedes CLK200k
W209 is beyond my gratitude words that can describe in this
testimonial. The hybrid mapping work so well for my car
engine & gearbox. In my opinion without prejudice, the horse
power & torque of the 1.8l kompressor engine is no doubt
being increased to a level equivalent to the current
capacity of the new Mercedes 250 CGI turbo engine (also in
1.8l configuration). Extra torque kick in from approx
1400rpm onwards, mid-range feedback is just excellent all
the way to the top speed exceeding 230km/hr. Thanks for
eliminated the infamous sluggishness of the throttle.
Excellent remap!

just accelerate out of nowhere when the gear dropped manually.
Fuel consumption has reduced from 7.5l/100km to 6.5l/100km with

drove up to Genting few days ago and the difference is
out of this world, it just rocket up to Genting with
ease compare to previous trip before the remap.

on remapping know how, and after the session is finish, have
a drive to Putrajaya to test my skill and my bella
performance.
And the result
is below for century sprint for an amateur:
Before remapping : 10.2s.
Then got some rolling start testing to gather a few data
before do a remapping.
After all the required data been taken, the main course is
starting at around 10pm.
After a few minutes of flashing the map into my bella, we go
straight away using the same routes to Putrajaya.
I
do again the century sprint, and still as an amateur, the

A
remap on a premium car is a mind boggling decision. Any
mistake could cause you sleepless nights. Engaging Dktuning
to remap my Audi gave me peace of mind. The performance
increase of about 30% on hp n torque pull is both
exhilarating & satisfying. Besides, I got the choice to
choose different map which gives a very diff driving
characteristic each. I doubt I can get this kind of service
from other tuners.
Good job to

2010 |
Dylan
thanks for pimpin my ecu, thanks to him my car now runs better
than the stock mapping, what i meant by 'better' is way much
better than the previous oem setup. Before the remap, my car
felt very sluggish even though after the CPS is activated, the
engine acts like there is something restraining the engine's
power. After the remap, even a slight push on the pedal, i can
feel the car just eager to go. Obviously the effects after the
remap is you can here the tappet's (the sound when the engines
is fully warmed up to its ideal temperature) runs faster then
the usual and the rpm's swing smoothly thru out the band.
overall the diffrence can be notice after several high speed
driving/cruising. the fuel consuming is much more lesser than
the previous setup, and im really surprise to see how fuel
saving it is after all those bashing and hardcore driving. im
happy with it, and always a grin in my face when other neos
trying to outrun me.. :)
To my surprise the fuel consumption also decreases as satria
neo is well known for its heavy drinker trade mark. Trust me you
can feel the power increase especially at the low end range.
Dylan also promote me to use the ron booster which converts the
fuel for better burning thus increasing the engine efficiency
and smoothen power delivery. I am very satisfied with the result
and now i have a problem on how to control myself from
overwhelming joy of driving a remaped neo, i am confuse wether
the car just got faster or my foot just looses it senses. Thanks
Dylan.

After getting the ECU remapped by Dylan, I can only say that
enjoy driving my car more than ever. The car pulls faster
and overtaking becomes incredibly easy thanks to the near

First and foremost, thank you for re-mapping my car. Well,
just some quick notes after the re-mapping. The low end
torque is much better now. The engine sound and work more
eagerly while the automatic down shifting is much more
sensitive. Acceleration from 2,500rpm onwards in 3rd, 4th
and 5th gears are getting better with more pulling power can
be felt as well. Overall, i am satisfy with what i get from
you. Hopefully after the ECU settle down and i might get a
bit more satisfaction. Haha...................
By the way, i still doesn't have the chance to push on high

The car is more responsive and fuel wise, better. There is no
more jerk during the change from 2nd gear to 3rd gear and the

Easy for me to breach the 220km/h mark which was previously

Mitsubishi Lancer GT 2.0 155hp |
Engagement
It all started when I feel the car is not giving me enough as
the drag was quite significant. So I started browsing through
the possible mods offered in the market…Nah most are common and
not convincing enough until DK Tuning grabbed my attention for a
trial (Dylan is around in town :)) and no strings attached. Fair
enough, so I went for an appointment with Dylan.
What I saw
Well, theoretical part aside, the application was quite fast as
Dylan confirmed that the template is readily available for my
GT, after testing was done. Immediate improvement can be felt
and Dylan asked me to do my own testing for the car to adapt to
the setting changes and provide him with the feedback (i.e.
after sales service and support is GOOD :))
What I experienced
Tested the car and I reverted to Dylan with some further inputs.
He gladly attended to the request and we did further test drive
and on site remapping. All in, there are 3 remaps for the car
and the glaring lack of pulling effect noticeable before the
remap, has greatly improved. The fuel economy too but I was
unable to verify further. At the point of 2nd remap, the power
of VW TSI was lingering in my mind and its power surge and
smoothness is really hard to resist – my fault, I went and test
drove one VW TSI and start comparing with 2.0 cc Mivec hehehe….
Useful thoughts
The remap extracts the potentials of the car (of the existing
engine technology that is J) and any associated harmful effect
has been carefully thought of and taken into account by the
tuner. Though, I have moved on with TSI technology, the remap is
still of value added as the certified improvement on the car can
increase the price of the car if it is to be sold off J. Would
love to remap my VW to Stage 1 later, but I doubt it behaves
like Lancer GT thus far…:)

Landrover Freelander 2.0 TD4

The
car pulls stronger at around 2000 rpm & above and therefore
it suits well when I drive in “Sport” mode. I this mode,
transmission kicks down faster and holds engine at higher
rpm longer than standard “D”. I can feel the turbo kicks in
around this rpm, but this also makes the initial take off /
turbo lag feels more prominent than before. I cannot really
tell this after mod initial take-off from start vs.
original… since this is purely based on relative “feeling”.
On highway with cruise control set at around
120kmh (GPS speed reading), RPM circa 2700, the car changes
gear less on uphill climb than before, which again indicates
better torque & power. I believe there no change done to
the cruise controller gain and therefore I can feel subtle
over response or over compensation as the car enter a minor
slope and then the controller backing off when the set speed
is achieved sooner. Again, this indicates better power and
torque delivery.

Sorry for the

Oct 2011 appointment with you did not go in vain.
Previously,
after many months after re-mapped my Peugeot 308 THP , I found
tremendous power Compared to original setting. Main difference
is the torque and throttle pick up response time. I have tested
on my regular weekly golf trip to Sungai Petani where it get
clocked 198kmh but have not The chance yet to break 200 and
above yet. However, after switching from RON 97 to RON 95, I do
face Considerable lag in performance especially during hot days
on low RPMs.
I believe it
is your passion which drive continuous improvements, feedbacks
from customers that make Searching for new recipe for latest
maps. We tried 3 maps i.e. GR1.65, GR1.70 and P1.60 and found
that P1.60 is the antidote to my problem of RON95. It is
extremely smooth progression from low RPM to high RPM w/o any
jerkiness on gear switching. In fact, the car can even go
further on higher speed BUT do not have the chance to try out
yet.
I would
update you this week on the performance after I go for longer

appreciate your after sales support efforts.

MERCEDES E200 Kompressor 184hp
2007 (W211) |
I had
been driving Mercedes for the last 10 years and lets just say my
current E-Class is comfy and reliable rider but lacking some
punch especially during one of those gloomy days. So I went
shopping for quick and cost effective tuning solution; and found
DK tuning by accident over the net.
Cutting the story short; the overall experience was good and I
am glad I got Dylan to do it! It is now 4 days after tuning and
I took the Merc to Kuantan for a real life test run.
The biggest improvement I notice is that the pulling power is
strong starting from 2500rpm all the way to 5500rpm! Needless to
say acceleration has improved a lot, very noticeable from stand
still pickup and mid hill climbing. The best thing is that my
fuel consumption has even improved a bit; I am doing 12L/100km
for city driving and 9.6L/100km on highway (aggressive driving
pattern).
Dylan told me that I have to drive for 2 weeks before the car
fully adopt the new ECU map; at the moment he thinks I will gain
9hp and totally 21 hp at the end of 2 weeks. If this is true
then I managed to upgrade my stock 184hp to 205hp for a very
reasonable price and it only took 10 minutes to do it!
I shall post my finding / conclusion again at the end of 2
weeks. For now I say; “Thanks Dylan for a great job so far!”

Ford Focus 2.0 TDCi 136hp 2011 |
Had
my TDCI remap in mid july 2011 by Dylan, with the expectation of
having a more linear accelaration across the power band. PLUS
better mileage.
The outcome has been above expectation!!
Turbo lag is near zero. Pull is much stronger and
consistant across the rpm. This improve the drivability in a BIG
way. Fuel consumption is around 5.5 liter/100 km under normal
city driving.
Thanks, Dylan for turning the FOCUS TDCI form a great car to an
amazing one. Never really put priority on the 0-100 timing, but
the improvement is huge that you do no need a stop watch to
notice the difference. It has been an exciting and wonderful
drive ever since the remap. Just dun forget to let me know if
you find ways to tweak it further. However, I just love the way
it feels now. Great job, BRO!

Smart ForFour 1.5 110hp Petrol
N/A |
First I would like to say million thanks to Dylan
for fixing the knocking issue on my Smart ForFour.
I have remapped my Smart ForFour 3 years ago and my car had
knocking sound since the first day of remapping. I have
complained to the tuner the first time I heard the knocking
sound but he said it was ok and suggest me to change my spark
plugs and use higher RON petrol to eliminate the knocking sound.
However, I tried everything that he suggested by changing my
spark plugs to what he recommended and using the highest RON
possible (by the time Shell V Power Racing), I even added in
octane booster but that did not help at all, the knocking sound
was still imminent.
I drive my ForFour under knocking condition for 2 years plus
until I found Dylan, a smart car member I knew long time ago. He
told me he was able to fix my car and I decided to give it a
try. At first try, my car felt weird. RPM is going up and down
by itself during idle and even though the knocking sound has
been greatly reduced on higher revs, knocking sound on lower rev
still exists.
I gave all my feedbacks to Dylan and he was very kind and
patient is handling those issues I reported. So after 1 week of
hard work, we met up again and give my car a second try, this
time, the map worked wonders. Everything on my car is back to
normal again, and the knocking sound is finally gone! I mean
COMPLETELY gone! I am very happy with my ForFour now as it is
really smooth to drive.
Lastly, I would say thank you again to Dylan for fixing my
ForFour knocking issue and will recommend him to anyone that
wants to do remapping on your car as he is a very polite and
patient guy.

Ford Focus 2.0 TDCi 136hp 2011 |
The difference was immediate after
Dylan remapped my Focus TDCI, feels like the Focus RS now!
Acceleration is more powerful with no turbo lag and the torque
is out of this world! Even more surprising my “black panther “
is now less thirsty. AMAZING! Fuel consumption is 15% lower
after the remapping, currently averaging only 6litres/100km in
city driving. Very passionate in his work, Dylan was both
helpful, humble and a true professional. It is very easy to like
him.
Don’t wait, get your car remapped
immediately by Dylan. IN DYLAN, I TRUST
UPDATE:
22 June
I recently met up with Dylan
and he shared with me his new "improved" map for the Focus TDCI
and asked me whether I would like to test it. Of course without
hesitation, I said YES! The car's acceleration is now much
smoother, quieter and even faster although one does not realise
it as the power kicking in is very smooth and steady from the
start to the peak. Initial results also show slight improvement
on the fuel consumption but probably need a few weeks to work
out the average. I really enjoy driving my Focus. Dylan, Thanks
again, you did an even better job this time for my "black
panther".

BMW 530d 218hp E60 2006 |
Thanks
to Dylan for his superb job. Quite amazing that he can make such
a difference to what is already a fantastic car. My main reason
for wanting a remap, was to improve fuel economy and of course
power increase, both of which have been improved quite
dramatically. The minute I drove the car after Dylan had remap I
could feel a big difference and once I got on the highway, the
mid range acceleration was superb. The motor pulls and pulls and
pulls.........and pulls. I really cant express how much the
remap has transformed the way my car drives but definately worth
more than what I pay for. My average fuel consumption done with
my heavy footed improve too from 12.2l/100km to 9.8l/100km. I am
really happy with the result but I still need Dylan to do 1 more
thing. My car is stuck at 250kmh! Please remove the speed
limiter for me.
Professional service and exceeding expectations!

Ford Focus 2.0 TDCi 136hp 2010 |
The best thing about the TDCi is that it is
built for modding for more power on the cheap!!! Try 184hp
and 438Nm for less than 3k with just remapping and changing
to a K&N!!! 0 - 100 kmh drops from 9.9sec to 7.89 sec with
2 person on board !! Try that with any other cars and method
while still keeping the car from guzzling the fuel like a
monster.
FC now hover between 6.5 to 7.2 l/100 km. But
I have done 1,000km with more than 200km left on the tank
from just 1 tankful of diesel , just dont ask how it was
done ;)
It also now smokes a bit, not the black stuff spewed out by
lorries and old buses but like a light haze, diesel engine
makes power that way. Observe the DTM prime mover race or
American sled pulling competitions.
Even the woman sez that she likes the happy map!!
It is now the point and shoot car that it is made to be but
without paying thru the nose to get a BMW 320D ( along with
its even higher maintenance costs ) or the Focus RS and with
RON97 costing RM2.90 without paying thru the nose to get at
the performance....

Peugeot 307 1.6L 16V |
Dylan tuned my 'Orange Simba' recently. It was
his first Peugeot 307 1.6L 16V that he remapped. He took his
time to learn my car and the software to make sure the car was
done right. Instant increase of torque was felt at low gears on
his 1st remap of my ride which took him only a few hours to do
it!! The extra torque coming in at around 2.5k - 3k RPM and all
the way to the red line. It surprises me when my Simba can
easily reach 200km/hr top speed compared to stock mapping,
175km/hr. Fuel consumption wise, not yet tested.
Dylan is a very nice, humble and helpful person. He'll try to
answer all your questions even when you have tonnes of it.
Thanks again to Dylan for what he has done to my ride. Double
thumbs up for his knowledge and experience towards remapping my
ride and keep up the good work!!! Dylan is THE person to find if
you want to increase your HP of your ride. Hope to get more 'Leng'
mapping recipe for my ride from him soon. Motion & Emotion.

Peugeot 308THP 140hp '10 |
After much research,
i decided to remap my 308T mainly due to two reasons. One is the
reality of RON97 being so expensive, using RON95 would be the
obvious choice but with our stock map, the car lags somewhat to
some extent. The other is the fact that the 308T with 6 Speed
launched, it makes more sense to remap than to upgrade to the 6
Speeder. So Dylan has done me a huge favour by letting me
firstly test out several mappings and see which suit me. Initial
feel is like the car took some drugs and more willing to charge
forward. The ballpark figure of the power gain would be around
15%-20% gain.

Suzuki Swift 1.6 Sports 125hp |
Hi
Dylan,
The remap has made my Swift Sport more drivable. I can
definitly feel the extra torque coming in at around 3k RPM
and all the way to the limiter.
The car comes with a short ratio gearbox so the extra torque
is welcome. It means left shifting and of course faster
acceleration in gear. I haven't done any propoer testing for
0-100kmh times but with my eye on the speedo and a stopwatch
i have gained about 0.5 to 0.8 secs.
Fuel consumption
wise i haven't seen much change. Before the remap the
consumption would vary between 8.8 to 9.2 l/100km. Now its
slightly better, the meter in pinned at 8.9l/100km.

Dylan,
The 2nd map brings immediate respond
to the car performance. I can feel the throttle is
very responsive and I need to step lighter to make
adjustment now. It also feels the 1st map has been
accustomed to the car and I don't have to wait the
next few days to feel the improved version on 2nd
map. The car is ready to roar. Overall, very
noticeable torque improvement on low rev and you
know much more power waiting at the gas paddle this
time. Thanks so much for reviving my 5 years old BMW
523i E60 like a new car now.

Dear:
Mr. Dylan
Good morning. It was my pleasure to meet you on last saturday
and many thanks for your remapping.
It was too bad that there were so many accident while i drive
back from kl to jb yesterday (plus heavy rain) only certain area
i could try to drive a bit fast.
From
what i see now is, 0km~90km the acceleration has improve and
feel the car is light and more powerful now but the interesting
thing is from 90km~150km or above the acceleration is awesome!
You can feel the engine keep asking you "come on drive faster,
that is not my limited bro". That makes me feel surprise when
drive in high speed yesterday.
Anyway, i am happy to have this remap with my car now!

VW GOLF MK6 1.4TSI 160hp yr 2011 |
Using
stock map, I find the TSi lags especially from standstill. There
are pauses before power delivery when you step on the throttle.
Each time you need power, tapping a little on the throttle
doesn't move the car much but tapping a little more would give
you too much power. Thus making control of the throttle
difficult. After remap, the lags were reduced substantially,
by not so much on the lower rev but more pronounced on the
higher rev. Throttle is now easier to control reducing the
tendencies to over step the throttle. There are noticeable
increase in power from higher revs. From 3,000 rpms onwards, you
will notice the power starts to build up and when it reaches
3,500 rpms, the TSi just zooms incredibly with non-stop power
delivery. Overall, power delivery is very smooth and linear.
Fuel consumption, if you were to maintain your driving habit,
improves by almost 10% based on extra urban driving. Engine note
now sounds more bassy and sportier.

BMW 320i 156hp yr 2010 (E90) |
My
320i Sports transformed !!!
As a newbie to the tuning world, I was recommended to DK by
a friend at work… it took me a lot of reading and
researching to be comfortable before I made my first contact
with Dylan last year after I bought my 2010 320i … A
bimmer’s handling is legendary but after moving over from my
MK5 Gti, I missed my old car’s raw edgy power and pull…. It
was even a little flat between 2-3K rpm…
Anyway, I had to get a proper 4 door saloon and after ending
up with the 3-series… I found the stock power plant just a
little pale in comparison to the VW (what an
understatement)… So there I met Dylan in Penang and was
pleasantly surprised with his methodical, surgical approach
to the process… he took time to read the car, took time to
analyze and I didn’t get anything for the 2 weeks when he
worked on the mapping codes
J… BUT by the time he loaded the first version for my
car, it became different in character…
All of sudden, the car had more pull, felt smoother, the
engine actually was more refined in feel compared to the
stock ! This week, Dylan loaded a slightly revised version
of the software and although I am trying it out for less
than a week, my car just gets better… there is another new
character now : meatier, even better pull… Honestly, with
these 2 maps, I felt great driving all day and when I could
I pushed the car up to 120-140 km/h and still felt I had 70%
more reserve to go J
In short, don’t
hesitate to consult and get mapped with Dylan : he takes a
systematic approach that you probably wouldn’t expect from
most tuners… and depending on your type of engine, he won’t
disappoint you !!!
Nice work Dylan
and thanks !

BMW 335i Bi-Turbo yr 2007 (E92) |
At the beginning I was not sure whether to remap
or just do the piggy back onto my car. So many opinions from so
many people that make me more confuse. But after Dylan remapped
my car, my feeling cannot be better. I am a very happy customer!
Dylan is very knowledgeable and patience with his
job, and that’s the most important thing. He will not finished
his work on my car until he himself are satisfied with the
result. My car to my opinion already a powerful car but the
feeling of an unleash power hogging me up.
What he done to my car:
He has remapped the ECU until my hair standing
(power surge) while driving the car now. There are an explosive
of power increase and it’s very useable, the power surging came
in smoothly. The maximum torque came earlier now, as early as
3300 rpm and maintain all the way. The power delivery is so
smooth you feel like driving a factory tuned car but yet very
powerful.
Horse Power increase is tremendous. The Dyno
Graph shown how smooth the curve is. The power been delivered
from the beginning and max at 5500 rpm and maintain there. The
low, mid & top end power is like a beast that needs to be tame
but the way it been delivered is what impressed me most.
Turbo lag is like none. My initial dead spot or
jerky power delivery no longer occurs. My fuel consumption
surprise me!!! Its almost 20% fuel saver now! I don’t have to
step deep onto the throttle for a certain speed. I can’t wait to
see what is my long distance mileage would be.
Overall Dyno result speaks it loud. Dylan, you
are free to publish the graph. I recommend Dylan service to
anybody, no doubt.

Peugeot 308THP 140hp '10 |
Dear
Dylan,
Thank you for your advise and knowledge on performance
improvements for my peugeot 308thp.
I was very impressed on the first remapping as I can feel the
difference in torque and throttle response-faster pickup and
better fuel consumption on highways.
I truly appreciate your passion and hours spent till late nights
just to get the 'note'. Now that is what I called passion.
And
because of this passion you have transformed my car into
something amazing. My gps captured me doing 234kmh on a highway
and I believe that you have the picture of that. Now I called
that a bonus as my objective for a remap is to make the engine
more efficient. consumption on highways is about 1000km per full
tank keeping to speed limit.
Keep up that passion and spread this passion!
XXX - Kuantan
UPDATES:
17/11/10 - Last nite I averaged 210kmh for 240km. half tank used. Not too
sure about the mileage yet. Will do a test again on saturday.
18/11/10 - Btw,just got back from my service centre...conversation with
technician there:-
"Bang, kereta ni ada modified ke? power lain dari semua 308
turbo yang hantar service sini.kereta ni kalau tekan kuat,dia
terkam. kalau ada kereta depan sure sondol..."
My answer was biasa aje,mungkin vpower racing kut...
What a day...

Peugeot 308THP 140hp '10 |
I have just had my car remapped two days ago and
I would like to relate my experience. Overall, Dylan is very
knowledgeable and passionate about the job he does. He does not
hesitate to help you and understand your queries as I did ask
him tonnes of questions. The amount of numbers and graphs on his
laptop show the amount of hard work and passion he pours on the
Pug 308 maps alone! Certainly someone that you can depend on and
as he has experience mapping 308s, I trusted that he will treat
my car as his own.
Dylan said that the car needs to be run around 200-300KM before
the ECU gets familiarized with the map. However, on first run, I
did notice a difference in torque, especially from 2K-3K RPM
band. The biggest difference can be felt in 1st gear as the Pug
is notorious for having a weak 1st gear. I was surprised at
the torque pull as low as 2K RPM. In fact, I had to readjust the
throttle position during bumper to bumper traffic jams as
the Pug now feels eager to launch off. The max speed I tested
was up to 170KM/H and the engine felt torquey enough to pull
even further.
I would expect performance to improve after 200-300KM
and overall, I would say that it's recommended to remap your
car as I doubt that you can get anything else that gives the car
such a big increase in power for the price that is quoted.

SMART FORTWO PASSION 0.7T 61hp
'07 |
Translated
from
Chinese Version:
I sincerely appreciate DKTUNING to rescue my Smart Fortwo which
has been in coma for a while.
About a month ago, I came across some performance maps in ebay.
The price was cheap so I didn't hesitate at all when buying it.
I started to remap the car myself with the program tool I bought
earlier. Unfortunately, the attempt of remapping myself put my
car into coma and the whole process merely went through 4% but
it just stopped there! I contacted the ebay seller. What I got
back from him was my tool has problem, furthermore, he wanting
me to send my expensive ECU over for repairing if I need it to
be done. I didn't...and I lost trust on him. Poor little car is
completely dead then! I really got tricked badly by the ebay
seller and a new ECU will cost me nearly RM9k.
I recalled a website DKTUNING.com which I visited few months
back and they did remap Smart before. I quickly contacted Dylan
and he got my problem identified step by step. Finally, I
understand the problem because I didn't get a map file tuned
according to my ECU SW/HW.
Finally my request has fitted into Dylan's schedule. He flew
into JB. I was told beforehand that if 1st level of work cannot
solve the problem, he might need to bring back my ECU for
'operation'. It is kind of tricky as he had to check the ECU
identity carefully because my original map was gone by my own
remapped! On top of that problem, there are around 10 SW for the
Smart Fortwo! If 1st trial wasn't successful, we will have to
try one after another, and each original map is costing GBP50
>.< but Dylan is giving me the 1st original map for free! After
detail analysis, the first original map was forced written into
the ECU.
Miracle happened!! Dylan's skillful prediction and careful
analysis worked as 1st SW original map suits my ECU! My car is
alive again, I have been longing for this engine sound! The
happiness is even greater than winning a lottery XD. Dylan asked
me to run my car and get the feel before he remaps it, meantime
he works on the performance map. I reconised the original power
of my car and it is already quite powerful.
The entire remap process of doing new map and load it in took 30
mins. We both went for a test drive this time. 1st gear, I felt
a little difference as its not my habit of hard accelerating in
1st gear. Once I entered 2nd gear, I thought, "Oh gosh! Is this
my car?" The torque and power is so much different compared to
original map! The pull is so consistent and continuous. Same
kind of feeling in all other gears. My gear change is faster now
and turbo boost from 0.8 to 1.3. The car goes up hill easily at
low rev and top speed from original 135kph to 162kph!!
Finally after Dylan fought with the ECU for several hours, he
had to leave for Penang. I sincerely thank Dylan, not only he
rescued my car but also turned it a performance car! I do hope
car lovers who plan to D.I.Y. a Remap, please do not do this at
home. A slight mistake will definitely destroy the ECU, loosing
money and time! This is my experience.
I observed throughout the entire process and realised Dylan has
got the professionalism and passion! This experience help me
realise ECU remap is NOT a game! It requires experience and
skill.
Thanks Dylan, Thanks DK Tuning!!!

Peugeot 308THP 140hp '10 |
I
have just remapped my THP last Friday. Initial feedback is
that the car instantly felt lighter on the pedal. Throttle
became more responsive and engine revs faster and easier. It
definitely felt more powerful and gear change seemed
smoother. Engine note sounded more compact. I didn't dyno my
car. I have not gauged my FC as my driving style has
suddenly became more aggresive!
FYI, before the remap I
noticed plenty of "blind spots" where when power was needed
it got stuck in between gears and I either needed to
downshift to utilize the power or floor my pedal. After the
remap, I encountered thus far only 1 "blind spot".
Dylan had flashed my ECU with
an updated map about 2 weeks ago. This later map is even
better than the previous one. Now the power delivery is very
smooth. It makes me feel as if I am driving a 5-speeder
instead of our 4.
My fuel consumption never
improve. In fact it got worse as I now drive very
aggressively. My brake pads should worn out faster too!

UPDATES
28/11/10 - I managed to breach 200 km/h

didn't try further as I was already approaching the JPJ area
where the number of cars are more. |

I
thought my first remap done by a Singaporean company was already
good enough when compared to stock standard. After you double
remapped my ride now, I was impressed there still was a
reasonably large room of improvement ontop of the 1 remap by the
other company. Your map has so much more low end torque and now
my car pulls confidently at any rev.
BTW, I performed my 2nd service yesterday. After that never been
better! Thanks bro. Keep up the good work.

I
have been very happy with the remapping performed by
Dylan. The car has been running for a month now and
I definitely notice the difference - more torque on
tap means smoother, instant acceleration
translating to quicker response. My trip computer
tells me I am about 10% more fuel efficient - a
bonus on top of the improved performance.
The car used to miss out a little in
mid range acceleration but now it feels strong. It
was not designed to be a pocket rocket as it is
quite heavy but you would not feel it lacking in
power. It is more of a high speed cruiser and it
does that very well. Plenty of overtaking power and
I do notice the improvement here after remapping.
Dylan has made my car which is nice to drive even
better. A good job at a reasonable price. Dylan has
brought the knowledge and expertise of
PiasiniEngineering to us in Malaysia.

Peugeot 407 2.0cc 140hp '10
(N/A Engine) |
Few months ago,
my friend decided to remap his car and he invited me to join him
as well. From then on, we started our tuner-hunting activities
online, and we had decided that we would engage a "Reputable
Singapore Tuner" to remap our car's ECU.
After the
remapping session was done (there were 2 errors during uploading
of maps to the ECU which the tuner said it's something common).
After remapping was done, I tested the car and I couldn't feel
any improvement on the car's performance but then the "reputable
tuner" told me that my car's ECU needed time to adapt to the new
settings and asked me to finish 2 full tanks of gas before
getting the engine on a dyno machine.
2 days went by
where I had finished a tank and to my surprise the performance
gained on a dyno machine was a negative one - minus 4 hp to be
exact, and
now the car fuel consumption was super duper high - 14.5l/100km
while cruising smoothly at 60km/h. I called the tuner and he
said he can't do anything except to refund ONLY partial of the
fee I paid him. And if I wanted him to fix the issues, I need to
drive all the way to Singapore for him to do that, but then I
wouldn't get any refund. Which I later had to tell him to
properly F*&% himself and refund partial of the fee.
Then came DK
tuning to the rescue of my car, he remapped my car back to the
stock map before upgrading mine to better maps (more than 8
maps) which we have improved and managed to gain more horsepower
each time we improve the map after analysing the dyno chart.
I would like to
sincerely thank Dylan of DK tuning coming to my rescue and
managed to squeeze those extra horses out of my car. I felt that
it is my responsibility as a car lover to remind all car owners
who are searching extra powers for their machine, please believe
me when I say that DK tuning is a respectable and professional
tuner that your car's ECU is craving for.
The knowledge,
technical expertise and professionalism of DK tuning will make
sure that you and your car can sleep soundly at night as your
car has been tuned by the best remapper in Malaysia.

Honda CRV 2.0cc i-vtec 150hp

I've
been a fan of Honda CRV since the 1st generation
came out. It has DOHC engine and it can accelerate decently
once you cross the 3500 rpm, ie behave like a normal 2 litre
car, if you don’t mind the poor fuel consumption. But when I
changed to the latest 3rd generation CRV 2 years
ago, that has a SOHC engine. I found to my horror the mid
range acceleration does not come until it reach above
4000rpm. Any thought of overtaking a Proton Waja has to be
planned way ahead. Thought of turbo charging it came to my
mind but it was inadvisable in a relatively new car and no
guaranties it will work well.
Until Dylan of DK Tuning came along with a
option that I was sceptical at first. A remapping of my car
ECU. Mind you CRV is no pushover when it comes to speed, it
has 150 hp and is stable at high speed. I frequent 180kph on
highways to Johor. To convince me, we first tested the time
it takes for a 0-100kph acceleration, in the original ECU
map, it was 13 seconds. The maximum torque only came at 4200
rpm. We decided to quicken the maximum torque to 3500 and
eliminate any lag in the power gain from 3500 to 5500rpm. It
sounds simple enough but it took Dylan and team the whole
night to extract the ECU reading and remapping it. It
showed you Honda is pretty tight in not letting anyone
touch their ECU map.
The results was amazing, I could accelerate
from 0-100kph in 11 seconds and there is no loss or lag in
the acceleration until I reach 150kph or 5500rpm. That means
I can overtake quickly from 120kph could reach 160kph
easily. My car behaves more like a continental car now. Thanks, Dylan!

I'd
like to thank Dylan for turning my GTI into a full blown
Pocket Rocket. The remapping went well and my car responded
instantly after the remap. She's now an even bigger pleasure
to drive. Initially I was a bit hesitant on the remap
as there are many cases of bad and
neverending problems but rest assured Dylan did a great job
and has given assurances in the after sales service department. Good
on you Dylan. Thanks again on turning my pony into a race
horse. Cheers!

After
re-mapping, it is more pleasurable driving the car. It runs
smoother. Before remap, there was a very light jerk during the
gear change from 2nd to 3rd. Now it's gone. Driving the car
feels more torquey. 2nd gear now pulls as strong as 1st gear
before remap. The revving up from 4000 RPM to 6000 RPM is
swifter. The rpm limit has also increased from 6000 rpm to
6400rpm.
But what matters most was the service - excellent after sales
support. Thanks Dylan!

Started
the engine, sounded normal.
Revved it a little while it was
stationary, and I immediately noticed the throttle was
lighter! The RPM was going up without much resistance.
That's promising I thought.
Took it for a spin around my
neighbourhood. "Oh boy! This is what I've wanted!" I
thought.
The initial pull from low RPM's
were faster and more brute. So was the mid and all the way
to the red line!
It was so much easier to pull,
the power felt so much more linear while it was going up.
Gone were the low to mid rpm
lags I used to get which made me think twice sometimes to
put my foot down on the pedal.
Now the car is so much more eager to push
and it allows me to.
A definite increase in power and torque.
Driving everyday to college is real pleasure, to just
stick to a high gear and cruise and still overtake
without shifting down!
There was one stretch on the Duke highway
after I exit from a long corner and come back to a
straight which goes uphill a little, the car used to
struggle in the low to mid rpm's. But now thanks to the
increased torque the pull is so constant and almost
effortless I was smiling from ear to ear!
Oh and I smoked two BIG VTEC's
the other day!
A definite upgrade for anyone
looking for that extra 'Oooooomph!'
Thank you DK Tuning!

I don't know
how to put in words, i am really happy and
enjoy with the new performance. I just came
back from KL, doing 110 to 170 at ease ..hihihihi.fuel
consumption at 61 km per RM10, need another
week before i can tell you the exact figure
of usual route.( previously at 56km per
RM10).
On 1st gear the pick-up still a bit hesitate
but has improve, i think these is set up for
safety reason preventing me from jumping the
car in front of me.
standing still and on 1st gear the RPM also
slightly low than stock setting but the
engine run smooth as usual..( i'm sure for
safety reason too).
acceleration is great, BMW X5 530 eat diesel
smoke..hihihihihihi(race
from taiping to ipoh)
top speed still maintain at 195 km/h, RPM at
4000..i think the gearbox or the new program
has some sort of limiter, even downhill it
won't go further....but still beat Merz CLK
C200 Kompresor..mmmmm ( the CLK must have
speed limit 180km/h)
but i can assure you the power is great on
hilly road ( kuala kangsar - ipoh-kuala
kangsar)..i can't even test the speed there,
it scared me..previously i can do 120 to 130
max climbing on 4th...but now i don't even
touch the gear lever and easyly can go
150(and still going!!!)
torque kick in from low 1400rpm(before only
can feel at 2300rpm)....the best from
2300rpm(120km/h) to 3000rpm(150km/h) on 5th.
Turbo lag hardly felt ( below 1400rpm only)
as for the engine noise....mmmm it's "sound
of ready for race"ha ha ha ha..and of cause
the car is more drivable , easier for
overtaking.
The black smoke when
accelerate almost gone. The engine always
ready "to go" at any RPM.
I'm glad too that I chose remap over
tuning box, it is a prove that for
any performance tuning - choose ECU
Remap!

Car
is definitely more responsive and have a proper spread across
the rev range. Now can really use 6th gear more often.

My car fuel consumption got improve n top
speed not try yet! Throttle pedal feel lighter n more respond!
If possible to let the aircon system independent will be more
ideal cos it draw a lot power from engine.

Before remap, I usually drive on half to 3/4
pedal position as I drive fast.
But now, the pedal is so sensitive that I need to use the first
1/4! THe car
is so light now....i also realise I don't need to know what gear
before
overtaking coz it has tremendous power anytime. 6th gear is
useable, finally!
Oh yes, I also can hear that the engine is not so suffering
during 5th and
6th gear in low speed. The gearchange jerk also improve! Thx so
much. My baby
is so much more easy to drive and comfort.

Thanks
to Dylan, really appreciated bout his work for ECU Remap to my
smart 42. Now my car is already become powerful... before that,
my car just got the stock map and it slow with tiny turbo... but
now after Remap, i can say that, it become the different car!!~
*experience to be believed. About the map test, after remap, my
car have been to dyno and it gave me from stock 61bhp to
75bhp,it improved power and torque which start to pull earlier
and for the boost, it from 0.8bar to 1.3bar. After experienced
on the road, i got smoother gear change, that what i'm really
need for our dump gearbox. about the engine, it become quieter.
so for conclusion, Dylan done a great job and service! |

"Much better
acceleration from standstill! Fuel consumption improved from 14km/L to 17km/L on
same speed on Penang Bridge."

"After a few maps,
the fuel consumption of this map is better than earlier. Summary
Stock: 12.5L/100km
Tuningbox:
11.2L/100km Your
remap: 10.5L/100km
Very good torque during low rpm - as what I want. Very rare to
touch over 2300rpm as very powerful even below 2000rpm. Can
tackle hilly road @ 1700rpm liao. That's why fuel consumption is
very low (maintaining 1400-1600rpm only for PG use. After
2200rpm the car really fly!"

Landrover Discovery II TD5 115hp - PETALING JAYA
The car
is running fine at the moment. Very Aggressive and fun to drive.
I still have not had the time to install some of the parts that
I got from Singapore. So far I got the intake and exhaust done.
Fuel efficiency has improved at least 2x better. I can now drive
for an additional 2-3 days before refueling.
