F30 330D Remap from JFA

burtman · 05-25-2016, 04:36 AM

Hi all.

Just joined this forum. I decided to join the thread to spread the joy on the remap I have had done. I have had my F31 330d for two and half years. When I bought the car it had 18 months left on the warranty which ran out in September 2015. I was happy with the car but wanted to see what a non PPK map would be capable of. In February I contacted JF Automotive in Maidstone and they said that they could map the car for me.

The car has been transformed with around 300bhp (est.) and 476lbs ft. (est) I however think that this is conservative due to encounters with a couple of F30 335d's around the country on my travels + numerous Golf R's, S3's etc.... When it came down to burying the throttle with Sport + I am finding no issues pulling away from any of the above mentioned- also kept pace with a new 911 Carrera recently on the motorway.

If you are ex-warranty on one of these- you must give the remap a go. The encryption can be broken and safely. Have also seen 3-4% increase in MPG to add an extra cherry on the top!

I am thinking of getting the car dyno'd to see what it is running officially- watch this space!

I think your 300hp assumes 260hp as stock. Put it on a dyno and you may be pleasantly surprised...

I think a few stock cars were dyno'd at 280hp ish.

Enjoy!

Thanks for the comment Rich9600, i'll report back when it's done.

NISFAN · 05-25-2016, 05:25 AM

Sounds like a result. If you are going to dyno the car, consider taking it to the same place this forum did a dyno day at. Your numbers will be comparable then.

burtman · 05-25-2016, 05:28 AM

Hi Nisfan, where would that be please?
Thanks

Watsey · 05-25-2016, 05:32 AM

My 330sD made 268-274bhp on the Dyno in stock spec. The overall gains from the MPPK were modest but useful.

I too had my 640d remapped by Jfa and also find its pretty rapid. I used their dyno when I had mine done though. I'd like to try another dyno like srr to get some more runs to see the difference if anyone fancies another rolling road day?

Hi
When you say the encryption is broken is this a ecu out job or obd?

I have a Galaxy S6 - don't think this is compatible sadly without buying something from a dealer...
