The more developed remaps adjust and recalibrate a much wider range of ECU values and can have a more positive effect on the economy as well as more power and smoother power delivery.įour of my last five cars, 3 of them diesels have been remapped and all have been successful in that the cars power has increased and I had no problems with anything failing.
#What does chip tuning do update
They often don't update the car's logging data so the computer info on mpg doesn't see the extra fuel being burned so the only real test is to measure at the pumps brim to brim. They'll claim better mpg because you can access more power/torque and don't need to rev the car so much and can hold a higher gear longer.

They'll often over fuel the car and the result is lots of smoke - common problem with bolt on power modules or smoke boxes as they are sometimes called. Some chips or remaps just allow for more fuelling and adjust the fuel/air mixture thresholds to increase the power. We then keep the vehicle overnight and check and adjust the cold start, idle and other parameters to make sure everything is perfect.Diesel tuning chips - do they work as promised? - oldtoffee How much power and torque does the engine actually produce? Can we find any more without compromise? From here the vehicle gets road tested (if required) and a few more fine adjustments take place. We use some trickery in the dyno cell to manipulate the ambient and engines temperature which enables us to simulate some worst case scenarios and make sure your ECU can cope with them if ever encountered.

Once this is done all the compensation tables get some attention. This involves using the dyno’s load to get through every main map cell and establishing optimum values for fuel, ignition and other parameters. From here we check and set all base parameters of the calibration. Then the vehicle is setup on our dyno and some testing is performed to establish the engines current performance and state of the existing tune (if possible). Firstly we verify the engine’s health with some basic vehicle checks. Our typical dyno tuning process goes like this. A Tune Technic tune gives the dealer no reason to go looking for trouble. Would the dealer go to all that trouble? No, they just want to get the car serviced and out the door. If the ECU was forensically tested (by someone like us), it may be revealed that the ECU is modified. So there is nothing to worry about during vehicle service. Due to the way we programme your vehicle’s ECU, our chip tuning is undetectable by the dealers factory tools. So what happens at service time if my ECU is tuned by Tune Technic? Nothing unusual. They want to keep their customers happy, so would prefer the job done professionally and safely rather than have their customers seek a non-trustworthy source for performance gains. How do we know this? Because we chip tune for some of the major brands on new vehicles.
#What does chip tuning do professional
In New Zealand, depending on who your vehicle dealer is, some will actively allow or discretely endorse professional chip tuning. It’s globally known that chip tuning or remapping of any kind is not permitted by the vehicle manufacturers.
