PPC System - Portable Program Carrier

PPC System - Portable Program Carrier

PPC - A New Concept in Engine Tuning from BSR

BSR - PPC SystemWhat is PPC™?
PPC™ - Portable Program Carrier is a unique hand held tuning system developed by BSR AB of Sweden. BSR’s PPC™ allows your cars ECU (Electronic Control Unit) to be reprogrammed with tuning software of your choice without any mechanical modifications or even having to lift the bonnet! The PPC™ unit can store several programs including your car’s original settings. All you need to do is select the program you want to use. It then only takes a couple of minutes to upgrade your car.

How is the upgrade performed?
You connect the BSR PPC™ Tuning System cable to your car’s diagnostic connector. Select the program you wish to use with the "Menu" button and then press the "Enter" button. After 2 to 3 minutes the new settings are loaded into your ECU and that’s it, simple as that! Use the same procedure to return your car to its original factory settings. You can repeat this procedure as often as you like.

Are upgrades available for my car?
PPC™ Tuning System upgrades are available for the Volvo, S60,S70,C70,V70,S80 and XC90.

Can I use my PPC™ unit to upgrade more than one car?
No, the PPC™ unit is mated to the first car that is upgraded.

How does the PPC™ Tuning System know that it is upgrading the correct car?
Safety checks are performed to verify that the car has the expected software before the actual upgrade starts.

What do I do if the current software in my car does not match what PPC™ Tuning System expects?
If the safety check fails, the system offers the ability to read your cars current settings. This information can then be transmitted to BSR by connecting the PPC™ Tuning System to an Internet connected Personal Computer. BSR’s developers will then analyze your cars settings and create a new upgrade. This can then be loaded back into the PPC™ Tuning System via your Internet connected Personal Computer and reinstalled in your car.

How does PPC™ communicate with my home computer?
By using a standard RS232 or USB port available on most Personal Computers.

Can I use PPC™ if my cars ECU has already been upgraded?
Your car’s ECU must be returned to its original configuration before you are able to use the BSR PPC™ system.

Can I use PPC™ with any ECU upgrades?
BSR’s PPC™ system can only be used with the ECU upgrades that BSR have developed and provided for your car.

How do I upgrade my PPC™ to latest software version?
If BSR develops a new enhanced version of the tuning program for your car we will notify our customers via e-mail and also provide instructions on how to download this new information into the BSR PPC™ Tuning System using your personal computer with Internet connection. Enhanced versions of same "Stage" software will be provided at no charge.

Can I request a customised software upgrade?
No, you must choose one of the upgrades BSR has already developed for your car. For most car models there are 3 upgrades are available:

  • Stage 1: Stage 1 BSR PPC™ ECU upgrade.
  • Stage 2: Stage 2 BSR PPC™ ECU, Performance air filter and a BSR 2.5” Catalytic converter back performance exhaust.
  • Stage 3: Stage 3 BSR PPC™ ECU, Performance air filter, BSR 2.5” Catalytic converter back performance exhaust and a 3" down pipe with sports Catalytic converter.

What grade of fuel should I use once my car is upgraded with the PPC™?
95 or 98 RON?
To achieve the indicated power for BSR tuning, 98 RON must be used. 95 RON doesn't provide the full increase of power. Generally, also with original settings, 98 RON provides more power, fuel saving, increased durability and reduced emissions. BSR optimizes for 98 RON. Stage 1-2 can manage 95 RON but Stage 3 or more require 98 RON.

98 RON (EU) = 88 MON = 93 RON+MON/2 (USA)
RON= Research Octane Number, MON= Motor Octane Number
