Not bad numbers. I wanted to go to Ptronic too. But youre running a much higher map then to get these numbers? Did they adjust the throttle position too? I think jb4 does this.Hi, and thanks for my membership.
Like many of you I think the 292 hp version is to slow, and Iām hoping some obd 2 tuning will be available soon.
But so far I have bought the Ptronic sence it promises most of everyone at 73 hp and 100nm.
I have started to make a YouTube video documenting the process, but a lot happened so i feel itās not readdy and not fair to ptronic yet.
but here is my story this far:
1: i ordered the box, and the came in around 1500 euros total with shipping and taxes.
2: I got the box, with their āperfectā tune, but I was underwhelmed, so I contacted them and they sent me a new box with should be the one they was going to ship in the first place.
3: This new box had a stronger tune than they ever used before, but still I knew this was not 80hp 100nm so i messaged them again
Now this box had Bluetooth connection and app control so:
4: they made me another tune and I loaded it up the next day, this was a really easy process. And this tune i felt, but still I could put it in race and 3+āwith is supposed to be the top tune, but still it didnāt make my car go into limp mode. (The process is to go as high as the car handles and then step it back one step)
5: I complained again about i want maximum out of the car, and they told me they hid an extra tune for me in comfort mode and I am no running this map +3 (still no limp mode)
6: I asked for more and told them about the video, now they said no, they donāt want the car going into limp mode on camera.
my plan was to document the gains for them sence no one else have done it, but the dyno and dyno room donāt fit so we wil try later with the car in backwards and cooling the intercooler with water because no fans this way.
I have sense asked them for a even stronger tune and they say my car is way over what any of their development cars have handled but the can do it but then they will void the warranty so Iām not shure. We have a lot of safety features on the dyno to oversee the cars health, but at this point Iām thinking maby just leave it to when we can get some real obd tuning.
anyway no dyno results yet, but I have measured with my dragy, with is very accurate an increase at 0-100km/t at 1.1 seconds, wich I donāt know what results you have gotten, but I know to cut 0.9 seconds on my rs6 I had to ad 300hp so I think 1.1 second is pretty good for a 2,6 ton car.
The dragy report even says the slower run has more down hill , but it pretty much from the same place and in 4 wheel drive mode and ālaunch control ā
wanted to get some dyno results before finishing my video, but idk, maby I just post it like it is for now.
Thanks.

There is no cable to the throttle position sensor. Iām guessing these higher maps is because my car didnāt react to their standard tune.
Now I have got a new appointment on another dyno over Easter so we will se the real numbers.
Iāll also ask Ptronic for that one last higher map to try in the dyno where everything is monitored

Yes i did! They have 2 day delivery, problem was they shipped business package so they tried to deliver it to my home address during daytime, so then the post office used a week to get it to a post officeOh, and you ordered it at ptronic belgium? Haha nice.

I am leaning more to a PCM reflash instead of a piggy back. I hope to get BPT's package in June.

I also rather like the idea of the compact flasher, code reader and datalogger.

They are indeed based in Australia and can cater for international customers by shipping a replacement PCM with a custom programming device and cable similar to myCalibrator used by Livernois Motorsports. Get in contact with them for further details.
