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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!”

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".

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 !

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.

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!

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.

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
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.

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!

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!

Smart ForFour 1.5 Petrol 107hp
'05 (N/A engine) |
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!

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!
