Akro de-cat with flappy valve

[Winjar]

Are you suggesting that this is a scam?

I googled the company, and found a tuner in Belgium. Is that the one?

If so, I would be suspicious:
They list improved performance for their tune as:

HP: Up from 136 to 142 = +6 Hp
Trq: Up from 143 to 150 = +7 Nm

No graph of AFR

They listed several 'Nice' feauters, and ended the list by claiming "Emission standards are maintained".

Should this ring a bell? Absolutely.

Most Dynos would measure the 1250 to the vicinity of 125 Hp on the rear wheel. To Dyno, and claim 142Hp and say +6 would require some correctional factor added to the reading, knowing exactly what the drive train loss is. And inform about the fact that the reading is not not the rear wheel numbers. Hm........

Also, claiming that the Emission standard are maintained ? They advertise chiptuning and such, which means that you may only tweak the fuel and ignition timing.
If it is so easy to gain 5% more power from the engine and still maintain emission standards, then what on Earth is BMW up to? Are the BMW engineers ignorant fools that knows nothing, as the real brainpower is found in Belgium (and Hinkley) Hm...

I think you guys are correct.

There are real tuners out there that do a decent and honest job.
This company is most likely not one of them...

Cood not say better.

Purely out of curiosity, if you have a 1250 remapped do they remap ALL the different riding modes - eco, rain, road, dynamic, enduro? And if you then change the settings on the pro settings, what happens then?

I have no desire to change mine - I'm happy with it as it is and I really don't need the extra power - but I can see how a remap of an engine with just one setting makes a lot of sense. Trying to replicate the remap across all the variables seems like it would be incredibly complicated.

I don't think so.

If I understand it correctly, you may regard the different riding modes as a correction to the response for throttle input, and does not directly interfere with the fueling. Possibly with one exception for the economy mode.
