Has anyone had any experience with the spider diesel tuning box?

Diesel Tuning from Spider

I am thinking of getting one for my CLS but cant find much info about them elsewhere on the net.

There's quite a few BMW diesel engines which have them via after market.

The 2.0d goes from 163 to 205 bhp and the 2.3d goes from 205 to 260 bhp.

The reports I've read suggest they take a few miles (100 or so) to fully teach the management unit the new code, but once done the £400 odd is a fantastic method of adding 20-25% more power to a diesel car.

Gizze here at TSN runs one and has done so over a couple of diesel cars.

I have been very impressed with them, not as good as a real remap, not performance wise but because they increase the fuel pressure on the common rail, where as a remap will increase the amount of fuel from the injectors and increase boost on the turbo (if done properly). Performance wise it is very impressive, I had one on the 120d and the 320d and it has made a massive difference.

If you speak to Mike ask him if they can still honour the £300 forum offer.

cheers guys.. I have just ordered one for my CLS.

sounds like it should be a lot of fun and with their adaptive scan.. they seem a bit more advanced than the regular tuning boxes.

Main thing I liked about this box was the free re-map if you change cars!

So is the 300 quid deal still a go-er then?

Stick to a proper remap.

Also, ignore those figures.....55bhp from the box on a 123d??? no chance without emission lights every 5 mins
