Remapping ECU VS Tuning Box BMW 118d F21 | EP 017

- I have always conformed to vehicle standard performance never tuned my car. As we all know more or less all car manufacturer are downgrading their engines and adding a turbo. That creates a great platform for the owner to tune there care.
After producing this video I realized that according to Swedish law, I have 30 days to return the purchased product on. I decided to save some money from returning the KCR box. I asked them why they did not make a solid waterproof product. They claim that the product is waterproof and write the text like they do to protect themself from water coming into the box when the engine is cleaned with a high-pressure washer. It didn't change my thoughts about the tuning box...

Roasted KCR and also managed to describe in a very good pedagogical way why the KCR box got roasted.
Giving concrete, solid information, documented and verified black on white also giving everyone a good warning not to F up their engines .... I actually think you managed to do a very nice job with this video so yeah thumbs up 4 you .......👍🏼
Thanks James, I appreciate your energy and the time you spent on my channel. Perhaps you have honoured me with your subscription.
Wow, once again a good and informative video. Nice work!
Great job for this very informative video, well done, simply explained to understand easy, thank you🤘
You are welcome.
I put a tuning box on my 20L diesel bmw plugged straight on and made it loads better both pull and top end. A lot of people putting on maps dont know what there doing and I wouldn't take the risk .
Same goes for tuning boxes. Some are dog shit, some work; some remappers know what they're doing and some don't.
I wouldn't take the risk tricking the ECU only to dump more fuel in whilst changing no other engine perimeters.

Ecu adjust everything. It gets data from lambda sensors and other sensor to adjust everything.
I rather put in a box from a big tuner than some random guy with a laptop altering the complex maps in the ecu
@@Wolfpack310 A tuning box is a voltage multiplier costing about $20 in components, sold to fools for many times more. All they do is alter a signal to the ECU by multiplying it, that's it.
They damage the engine. If you put them on a diesel, it will send more diesel to the injectors, but will also send in more diesel when the engine is cold and trying to send in a bit more anyway - that causes far too much to go in and black smoke.
Smoke on a diesel means UNUSED diesel is burning off in the tuebo, manifold and EGR/DPF and exhaust itself. All that extra diesel being pumped in is not being used for combustion and makes no difference to power or torque.
That is were a ECU REMAP makes far more of a difference as it controld everything on the engine and takes input from all sensors and adjusts continuously. A cheap nasty tuning box does none of that and they tend to only be used by people that are not keeping cars!!!
The use of a tuning box can be detected by main dealrships and police vehicle examiners even if it has been removed.
Insurance companies rely on this for claims.
I enjoyed your video. refreshing and honest. Good job
Thanks Steve, If your are not already, please subscribe to my channel.
VERY VERY GOOD EXPLANATION, TO THE POINT AND WE CAN LOOK TRIAL AND ERROR, THIS IS WHAT WE NEED TO KNOW, and finally i will subscribe your channel, THANKS SO MUCH
Dave, thank you so much for subscribing to my channel and welcome. If I'm lucky you might find my older or newer videos to view. take care.
I have a F20 LCI 120i (1.6 N13 engine) with Racechip Ultimate, cat-back exhaust, K&N drop in filter, and Wagner Competition Intercooler. It made 212hp on 95 Octane Fuel.
Sounds like a great 👍 setup. Congratulations.
Poor
@@lordsith8319 Currently it has a remap and makes 237hp
Nicely presented, good content and the music was not the usual annoying noise.
Keep it up
Thanks, Kern, I am trying my best with the music. Thanks for watching and subscribing.
try TDI Tuning their tuning boxes are great
Hi Yasser, I think I'm done with tuning boxes... Thanks for the time spent on my channel. If you are not already, please subscribe.
Great video
Thanks, Träslövsläge, for your energy. IF I'm lucky you might have subscribed.
That owner looks like he hates you
Who know, perhaps he dose...
thanks for watching and subscribing
Like your mother hates YOU 👍
Lite amatörmässigt, jobbig musik, men va fan. Det var ett intressant ämne, bra genomgånget och helt klart värt att se. Så en tumme upp på den :)
really great video, there are better chips out there like Racechip but I'm thinking ECU remap is still the best if you are gona keep the car for a while.
Hope you are right that there is better Chips out there, but my recommendation is to go with ECU mapping.
Thanks for watching and subscribing.
What happened at the car test, when they discovered that you modified your car?
This problem should also have been mentioned.
The KCR box can be removed without leaving "traces" behind.
It is very easy, actually more easy to reverse a UCR box without traces. KCR box is not something the helps you with anything, I'm sorry to say :-(
gj nice work really
Thanks, Francisco, perhaps you have honoured with your subscription?
Hi Janko, awesome content have you had any issues with the car post the remap?
No, not at all, drove the car about 10000 km after the implementation. FYI the car is sold. If you are not already, please consider subscribing
@@JankoLind Thank you for the feedback, I am a subscriber already, off topic fantastic Porsche content !
Woah he roasted kcr tuning box!
Guess I did...
Would have been great to hear your impressions of the KCR vs Chip when driving the car, now you just come of sounding as a salespeson for Tuning Chip.
Hello,and how was the consumption after remap?I hear some peoples who say BMW 118d make better consumption after remap than the sock power....
Correct it did 1 liter 100km less
Janko Lind thank you for the answer, i have a same mode but with 4 doord and i want to go for a remap but just stage 1 180~ horse power
living in sweeden and not driving a good old Volvo V70 T5 ? xD. but anyway nice video :)

nice video, what is name of song in 3.50?
Hi Holger, all songs are presented at the end of the video. Thanks for watching and subscribing.
That tuning box "looked like" one off the cheap ones off eBay for £50...I spent £389...and it made a big difference......ECU mapping on a new car voids the warranty...and it always leaves a trace. But yes ECU remaps are better for a more personal mapping but for those who just want a bit more power a decent chip box will be a better choice especially if it's a new car so you don't void the warranty.
Actually, I think I paid more than €389 for my tuning box...
Thanks for watching and subscribing.
@@JankoLind yeah I noticed what you paid...it just looked like a cheap one off eBay...my TDI box looks more substantial...just better quality....and only wanted abit more power an to keep my warranty. 👍
@@HarryBradbury worked at ford for over 24 years... I do the diagnostics test, they'll only record that the turbo has spiked in boost pressure but it won't know how it's done it....it doesn't tell you that a tuning box has been added to the vehicle and this is why your turbos fucked.
Open flash tablet doesnt leave a trace as long as you put back the stock map of the ECU. No one would know it was remapped.
playlistA jimenez I can vouch for this I removed a remap prior to my vehicle been inspected and The ecu file was sent off to the manufacturer who found nothing 👌🏻
Varva den inte till sista millimetrarna innan rödfältet. Du har på en diesel passerat max vrid för länge sidan.
Jo, så även på en bensin egentligen.
Very interesting. Wonder about a Tuning Chip mod to your 911......
Aaa not sure, it does not have a Turbo...
what wheels on your bmw, and what size tyres ?

Did you fit a new airfilter? That would limit max hp at high rpm
No, nothing changed in the engine except for the mapping.
Hold on a minute, what if you don’t want a permanent ECU remap but a temporary boost. What if I’m leasing the vehicle and don’t want a forever remap. What if as you say the car performance is better on a new vehicle BUT remapping the ECU means breaking the ECU seal and if you develop a problem then BMW will know you opened the ECU and you can say goodbye to your warranty. Now your lower grade tuning box makes all the sense in the world because you can remove it and take the car back to stock.
Hi Nick, I understand your point, but you never break the ECU seal when you remap your car. If you looking for a temporary boost a sunny day then perhaps the box is better, but it is not something I would recommend. Thanks for watching and subscribing.

"Bulletproof from water" Maybe... Waterproof? XD
You didn't say how the car felt on the road after the ECU re-flash. That is what counts in the end. Were you happy with the final result and are you going to keep it?
You are absolutely right Patrick Felsted I did not say how the car felt...
The car's character really changed to the better and I definitely kept the ECU mapping from Tuning Chip, an easy choice between the 2.
@@Jamalball36 helt klart värt pengarna, nu har jag kört 6 månader och till och med bränsleförbrukningen gick ner. Rullar på 19 tums hjul under 0,5 l/mil.
I don’t think they are bad for the money only cheap at 50 euros you way overpaid for that box they are all the same those type they just increase the fuel pressure
That might be the case but I would not go with a box anyway.
Great video! Loved that you tested the two different ways to increase hp's and torque in a dyno rig. Most vids on boxesa re just crap.
I bought a much cheaper chip, ProDieselChip which does the same thing, for my BMW 318d that suffers from a choked engine (150 hp while a 320d with the same engine has 190 hp's).
Also bought a OBD2 scanner to be able to measure any Hp & Torque increase. They promise an average of 25% Bhp and 30% Torque increase BUT via the OBD2 scanner I only managed to measure 12% Hp increase and 15% torque increase after trying a multitude of settings, so that's disappointing.
I still "feel" an increase in torque which is good but it's nowhere near the promised average increases, so lucky it was only 160€ with shipping.
By the way - how do you insure the car after the tuning?
Thanks for your energy, futtirackarn.
My car has passed the engine insurance a long time ago.
Thanks for watching and subscribing.
Are you sure they are the exact same engine ? I’m talking about the b47 engines with 150 and 190 hp. I heard they have slightly different injectors and maybe even a smaller Turbo. Couldn’t find a website yet to say for sure if that is true or not.
so....…….. the moral of the story.. forget about performance modification.. just stick with stock unless you know what you are doing?
Pretty much that's my point. Thanks for watching and subscribing.
Great advert for a product that doesn't work! Don't be scammed by these cheap chinese voltage multipliers that cost $20 in components.
The companies will not honour ANY warranty claims when it comes to people using this sort of rubbish.
Don't use them as all this one is doing is forcing more diesel in - that is all.
*USE A PROPER ECU REMAP*
