I believe the Tunit ECU device is actually made in Germany by this company http://www.kueberl.com/eng/flash.html I dont think I could trust a company that is simply reselling a German product and claiming it to be British.

@MM: Actually you are wro,g (and I’m not only talking ’bout your vision on diesel engines .
316 Lbs of torque is not 488 Nm but 428 Nm, which is still impressive!
the *1.36 trick is to go from kW to PS (or DIN HP). Click my name for the link to a handy converter.

That’s good!!! It’s very beatiful your “new” proceed!!

because when we change something in our car, we have an other car, different, more personal.

In december I bought my first car and I decided to buy a Kia Proceed 1.6 CRDI and I am very happy with him.

Here, In Spain, concretly in Barcelona where I live, I don’t see a lot of proceed, we see more 4×4 from KIA.

Finally, I like it a lot your car!!

Bye bye!!

wow! antil it was in Nm, I didnt notice how significant the torque is. its more than Mohave!

thanks! pfff exactly what ive been calculated. its * 1.36 to get nM from LB. impressive! 488nM…… quite enough to put clutch near death line

well you said yourself – hear. now you trying to argue me without having a ride by urself ok. let it be entertaining drive.

DOnt worrry. your english is fine. this conversion is from an online torque rating conversion site.
360 lb/ft (pound foot) = 488.094 462 72 Nm (newton meter)

mm,
Of course the filter does give more power on a CRDi – but not much. It’s main job is to reduce drag through the air inlet side of the engine, thus helping the turbo spool up quicker between gears. It’s like having a dump valve on the other side of the turbo to stop it stalling – a DV doesn’t give more power, it just helps keep the turbo spinning.

316 lb/ft is 428.4 in Nm

We could argue about the curves all day and night but unless you’ve driven the car, you will not understand it’s performance. Compared to standard, this converstion is a very entertaining car to drive, I hear.

Sorry for my Lithuanian, I’m a German guy.
