Hi all,

i'm ok with the mpg that my td6 gets, but if there is a way to make things better i'm all for it, read on another forum about this a while ago, but i cant find it for the life of me!!

http://www.bhpplus.co.uk/Speedhawk-Diesel-...BHP%20CR-2

who on here has got one of these? and what do yo think of them? worth getting etc etc???

sorry if this product has been covered on here before, i cant find it if it has.

any help would be cool.

cheers

save your money, get the engine remapped. There is loads of info on here. Mapping alters all the engine paramters including fuel, turbo boost pressure etc etc. Many plug in boxes just fool the ecu into dumping extra fuel into the cylinders.

You will usually get more power and torque from a map. check out JE Engineering, BAS, DMS, Turbochip, Autologic etc etc. Do a search on here for JE and visit their web site, loads of info on there.

I put an energy tuning uk box on my TD6 a few months ago, MPG went up from average 21-23 to 27-29 (verified computer against fuel fill) and, taking it steady on a run I get up to 38mpg. smoother to drive, picks up quicker all together amazed with the results. Best £180 i have spent.

impressive mpg figures sean, have you verified them with a tank to tank fill up? ... - .- -.

Yes Scarey, confirmed with full tank at 27-29, the 38 was off the computer just for a particular journey (40 mile round trip on mostly dual carridgeway, steady driving. Have confirmed the improvement on a tank fill I am confident its accurate, also if you start to boot it the consumption goes noticably down.

attractive mpg figures those...my 'proper' remap gave similar figures but soon went back to original after 10 days and have stayed there ever since.. ... - .- -.

I'd be tempted to have remap on my TD6 but would like to know what else it may affect. Obviously the extra power must put a strain on other things.

Do people generally need new gearboxes or other issue after having one fitted.?? Ash

Currenty have a 2003 Vogue TD6 with a 2010 facelift conversion, fitted a energy tuning box, most impressed with the results. Remap or box, each to thier own, drove my mates RRS with a remap and could feel the difference compared to the RRS I had at the time. Similar improvement to the improvement that I experienced with the box on my current TD6.

I got mine from energy tuning uk, the only reson i chose them was they were based not to far from me, I am in Durham, they are based in northumberland, I called first, talked to the guy and ordered over the phone. About £185, price seemed mid range between the cheap ones on ebay and the £300-400 jobs.
All I can say is that it has made the car much better to drive and consumption has reduced markedly.

mmmm very interesting, is it easy to fit? and is it water proof or come with a water proof enclosure? its half the price of the speedhawk box too, and you can give it back if it doesnt do what it says on the tin. got to be worth 180 hasnt it? that would pay for itself in a few fill ups.

any down sides to fitting this Sean? mine is a 2004 td6 vogue.

It comes with full instructions and photos. The only awkward bit is the location of the electrical connector which is up against the bulkead at the back of the rocker cover as you look at the engine from the front. Its a 5 minute job to fit once you locate the connector.
I seem to remember climbing on top of the engine to reach it!
The box its self comes with a long cable extension so you can locate it where you want, mine is on top of the ECU/electrical housing on the left side of the engine as you look at it from the front. You could drill this housing and put a gromet to seal it if you wanted to be thorough.
All I can say is I am very impressed with it, with steady driving the results are amazing.
