| Actually its not a matter of driving fast, but we here with slightly underpowered Logan Diesel feel problems while crossing humps due to narrow power bands (have to change gears every now n then). I am too not a fan of mods specially related to engine but I feel little more power could make the driving a bit easier. I hope you are an experienced driver and can understand the Diesel problem. | |

| I am a VERY experienced driver I have been driving since 1969 and with weights up to 150 tons It is a known fact that you can drive the diesel very slow in most gears I would say that Renault made your motor to last as LONG as possible. Renault are a Very big name here in Europe they are the French car giants If you think it needs to change gear then do it . and you will have your car for years (and Clutch) Believe me Pm me your email address and I will send you a acrobat file on my past cars that I have owned Stu and here is one truck that I used to drive It is the Mighty Antar Tank Transporter weighing 150 tons with a Tank it had a Rolls Royce Diesel engine and 2 gearboxes which needed to changed between revs | |

| Folks, Is anybody planning to Fix the Pete's tuner. How much could this cost and more importantly does such a device harm the engine in any little way? It looks interesting and I guess if its not too expensive can be worth it! | |

| petes tuner cost around 30 k, it is available across India, only issue is it will void ur warranty , you need to ensure that you unplug it before u take the car in to service, i am planning to put it in once manufacturers warranty expires | |

| I have few doubts on Pete box. 1) The connecting road bearings and piston bearings are designed to take the load of the strokes of the piston. If the engine power is increaseed without changing the design, will it affect the bearing life / connecting rod / crank shaft etc ? 2) Higher power is generated by the increased expansion of gas by (higher) temperature. Does the engine is designed for that temperature ? 3) How the higher temperature affect the engine oil life ? What will be the drain period ? Anybody have any idea ? Anjeev | |

| Well guess no one on the forum has got Pete setup on their Logan, wish someone installs the same and provides us valuable feedback regarding performance of the same, probably first 2 year as company warranty is there everyone is avoiding to mess with the engine, i plan to install the same after company warranty is over | |

| Hi pradeep ..... I started this thread but due to heavy workload I could not continue posting ..... anyways its good you installed a tuning box and getting good response.
Actually Logan is made for same tuning as you are having after installing this box - as per the marketing manager they have tuned India Logan for best fuel avarage not for performance and as per him it can be re-tuned to perform as your config.
Unfortunatly they refused to retune logan and Petes box or any other comes very costly so not every one can afford.
Although can you post picture, purchase source and pricing for us. | |

| I guess spending a steep 20-30 K's isnt a very good idea for many! I personally dont understand why JUST an ECU remap should cost so much. Some manufacturer i just spoke to some time ago told me that they would do the re-map and increase the bhp and torque consequently. They also said that if need be, they could reset it to original bfore i went for service to avoid any warranty issue. But asked for about 30K. Didnt quite understand the VFM there! | |

| WHAT I LEARNED FROM SEVERAL PEOPLE'S IS THAT ALL TUNING BOXES DO THE SAME JOB,WHETHER IT'S PETE'S, OR CHIP TUNING U.K OR DTE GERMANY.... THE LIST GOES ON. THEY R PROGRAMMED 2 GIVE U PERFORMANCE OR FUEL EFFICENCY WHICH U OPT FOR. I BROUGHT THE DTE BOX B'CAUSE WHAT I OBSERVED THAT THE BOX HAS A MEMORY CHIP IN IT. IT MEMORISES THE DRIVING HABIT'S OF THE DRIVER. I DRIVED THE CAR UPTO 2000-2500 RPM UNTILL THE 2ND SERVICE. AS A RESULT THE BOX FOUND MY DRIVING AS TOWARDS FUEL EFFICIENCY. AS A RESULT I GET 17/18 KMS IN MUMBAI & 25/26 ON HIGHWAY FOR LAST 8 MONTHS WITHOUT ANY DROP IN IT. BUT, WHENEVER I PRESS THE ACCLERATED HARD FOR THE CAR TO PICK UP FAST IT GIVE'S ME THE PERFORMANCE WHICH IN WANT FROM MY CAR. I WOULD LIKE 2 MENTION THAT I FITTED THE KN FILTER ON SATURDAY 3 DAYS BACK. THER WAS A NOTICEABLE DIFFERENCE IN THE PICKUP. THE CAR NOW BEHAVE'S LIKE A PETROL CAR. AFTER FITTING THE DTE BOX & KN FILTER I HAVE THE FUEL EFFICENCY WHICH 1 WANT'S FROM A DIESEL CAR & PLEASURE WHICH 1 GET'S FROM DRIVING A PETROL CAR. | |
