Peugeot 308THP 140hp '10
I remapped my 308 turbo yesterday, 27th Jan 2012. First impression, the power improve drastically, the throttle is more responsive and the engine power just waiting for you to tap it. No regret doing this. Dylan also very professional and looking to all data shown, worth the money paid.

Mazda 6 2.5 170hp '08

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 speed cruising & acceleration. With what i already felt, i think they shouldn't disappoint me. Will let you know the feedback when i get the chance then. Once again, thanks buddy. Happy CNY!

Peugeot 407 2.0cc 140hp '10

The growl of the car was more aggresive than before. As for the throttle, light but more surge.

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 ride is smoother now with the extra 10+ horses under the hood. Easy for me to breach the 220km/h mark which was previously quite laborious.

 

All in all, we are very happy with the change. Kudos to Dylan for his job well done and BTW, bro, thanks for your hospitality. You're the man!

Ford Focus 2.0 TDCi 136hp 2011

First of all, I would like to wish merry christmas and a happy new year to you.

Regarding the car, the performance is awesome. The car feels lighter. Hardly felt any turbo lag. I haven't tried to test the top speed yet. But it seems that going to 210 km/h is not a big problem. I'm thinking to get the K&N filter later. Haha! I notice there is more smoke coming out from the exhaust when I accelerate. But no problem for me.

Great job Dylan! You have changed my little pony to a roar beast!!

By the way just to let you know since remapped, I drive with smile everyday. Keep up the good work.

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 112hp '05

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.

Peugeot 308THP 140hp '10

Sorry for the late testimonial. Once again, my afternoon session on Sunday 23rd 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 spin in SP highway.

 

Highly appreciate your after sales support efforts.

 

Thank you for your time.

BMW 523i E60 190hp LCI 2008

Thank you for the late night hardwork to remap the car. Its been wonderful so far. I think there was nothing wrong with the idrive console, it probably was doing some kind of reboot. The next morning, everything was fine and has been ever since. The car now is definitely a better car compare with before. I haven't taken it for long haul drive yet but city driving feels lighter and more responsive than before. In conclusion, the remap is well worth the money.

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!”

Mitsubishi Evolution X 280hp 6-SST 2011

I am happy with the power gain, very smooth and safe map! Actually, I am even more happy with the improved fuel consumption. With stock, full tank can go 220km only, but now can reach 320km easily.

 

That's 50% better fuel consumption!!!

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!

Proton Savvy 1.2 MT

Proton savvy telah di remap oleh Dylan (DK Tuning), kini petrol lebih jimat,respon throttle body lagi cepat dan pecutan lebih laju,memang puas hati dengan prestasi proton savvy, manakala remap ecu ini adalah satu pelaburan dari segi wang untuk minyak petrol, kini saya dapat jimat wang saku untuk petrol.

 

Prestasi savvy selepas remap ecu,kini dengan gear 4 dalam 6000 rpm kelajuan adalah pada 155 km/h berbanding sebelum remap iaitu 137 km/h banyak perbezaan,pick up lebih pantas untuk memotong. Kini rpm boleh cecah hingga 7000 rpm!

 

Terima kasih kepada Dylan & DK Tuning kerana berkerja keras utk remap ecu savvy walaupun sukar tapi hasilnya begitu hebat, Dylan adalah orang yang mesra dan sukar putus asa.

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.

BMW 523i E60 175hp 2006

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!

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!!!

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 easily just now after I dropped my grandma off at Sungai Dua, Butterworth. I still have a lot more to step on my throttle. I 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 would like to thanks DKTUNING for remapping and testing my Renault Kangoo (1.4)06 last two week.

After remapped, I am glad that perform of my car more powerful, smooth and quick response especially overtaking. I really enjoyed and satisfied with my car performance now!!!!

Thanks again and Cheers!

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 '08 (3rd Gen)

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!

Peugeot 407 2.0cc 140hp '10 (N/A Engine)

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!

Ssangyong Rexton 2.7 XDI 164hp '05 (TURBO DIESEL)

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.

SMART FORTWO PASSION 0.7T 61hp '07

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.

SMART FORTWO PASSION 0.7T 61hp  '07

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!

FEEDBACKS via SMS:

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

VW Golf MK5 1.6FSI - PENANG


"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!"

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.
