V50 Engine 2.0D : - Dragon Diesel Tuning Box

jason77 · May 10th, 2007, 21:02

Hullo,

It's looking like i'll be picking up a v50 2.0D soon.
I would like a bit more poke in the car and have spotted the Dragon Tuning Box (ebay)
I've heard a few folk mention that they're quite good - especially for the money(24bhp - 70Nm extra for 185 quid delivered)

What's you thoughts on it - is there a better one out there for similar money?

If there's a better one - anyone got a link to it?

Cheers

Hi

Where did you get that quote from, it's a good price.

I am getting a V50 R-Design Sport soon and would like one!

I have the RICA tune and it is great. More BHP and torque (180bhp and 362nm). No black smoke, more mpg and a smoother engine.

Reading about tuning boxes, they can be more trouble than they are worth.

I have a Powerklick unit on my S60 and have been happy with it so far.

I am also looking for any comments on a Kingquick unit. They seem to be very cheap, just wondered about any problems. Remaps are unboubtedly the better option, but at a cost!

As Metblackrat hinted, tuning boxes are notorious for soot output. Not sure how well the particulate filter on the Euro IV 2.0D would cope.

Another happy RICA customer here (although it's fallen a smidge short of the claimed power and torque figures both times it's been rolling-roaded).
