| D4 & RRS 2012 3.0L 8 speed tuning DONE :) |
|
Today ive successfully without problem tuned the new 2012 D4 & RRS 3.0L fitted with the 8 speed gearbox. Final tuning, adjustments and road testing will be finalised over this and next week before i go away on my holidays 
The tuning is calculated to give 40bhp and 100nm more power.

Not good tbh, im still on plenty of drugs untill further notice which i really dont like taking. I now have some 7 day patches that i stick on my wrms and chest that contain a pain killer stronger than morphine  Mixed with the other tablets im taking the pain is managable providing i remember to take the pills lol.

So that must be touching 300bhp and with 700Nm of torque (which is around 60% more torque than the D3's 2.7 TDV6)??

Does that cause stress on the gearbox.
Just a daft question from a thickky!
PS hope the back improves. All things shipping, storage, transport. UK and worldwide.

It's above 700nm without a doubt. Mine was still throwing up gearbox errors and going into limp until the gearbox limit had been increased to 806nm. Club Exped trailer

 Wow! What's the likely effect on fuel consumption / economy?
Also, what's the cost going to be...?  D4 XS MY12 Galway

Have you ever completed the tuning for the MY10 RRS? 3.0
I've been waiting over a year on the heads up on it!

Have you actually tuned the car or are the drugs giving you a "warp drive" effect
Seriously though, hope the back eases soon. It's no fun when you've got any pain 24x7 - I'm only up 'cos I over-worked my replacement ankle joint today and hurts like hell. 2010 MX-5 2.0 Sport Tech PRHT

Realise you're away now, but will this be available using the remote interface, or is it 'on site' only. No rush for a reply... car not due for nearly three months!  D4 XS MY12 Galway
