Solo dyno runs today at AU Tuning. BK Motorsports Tuning Box dyno testing

This morning I got ready and took my sons with me to get the R dyno tested at AU Tuning.

I had 3 runs done:

baseline using the Tuning Box relay
medium settings (yellow light over P) no red or green lights at + and -
max settings (red light over P) max red lights over + light

this video explains the modes:

Dyno sheet from today's BK Motorsports Tuning Box runs. stock baseline is 260whp 271tq and with the box set to 'max' it put down 294whp 304tq. The only bolt on is Apr intake. I used pump 91 octane So Cal gas. It was 59 degrees this morning.

Graph shows both baseline, "mid settings" , and "max settings"

BK Tuning Box piggy back install - round 2

I had an wiring harness issue that caused a CEL. BK sent me a harness right away but I was busy with other mods, cars, family etc.

It was a nice summer like day in So Cal today that allowed me to spend some time to get it installed. I'm happy to say no check engine lights.

I'm going to have the R dynoed at the same place where I had the JB1 tested. This time I should be easily able to get a baseline due to just swapping that little interface instead in the car.

Stay "tuned" all for Saturday, February 13th!!!

Pedal Box your way to full throttle!

Picked up a PedalBox throttle booster and installed it.

It wasn't too hard disconnecting the harness and connecting the unit but I cheated and read someone's post with pics. If you don't install it securely you'll get Christmas lights in your dash and it'll run like crap.

It looks exactly like the Remus Responder down to the shape and lights. I'm going to say one is a relabel.

I think overall the pro is if you don't want an ecu tune and no warranty hassles this is a nice feature.

Don't put it in sport plus in bumper to bumper traffic. You will probably plow into another car or wall like you see on TV.

And don't leave it on for anybody borrowing your car. Seriously here.

Comfort as it should have came from Germany! - Coding for remote windows open and close and reverse mirror drop

I purchased a Ross-Tech micro-can cable to do VCDS updates or VW coding.

I did the coding for remote windows open and close and reverse mirror drop.

It's not to difficult but you need to be patient and do each step EXACTLY as stated. If not you can do something bad and brick your module which only the dealer can restore.

Check out my videos for a demo of the coding.
