Most important points about Chiptuning
- Chiptuning gives the car more power and a better driving experience.
- There are different methodes we us for Chiptuning, this depends on type of ECU (Engine Control Unit)
- Safety is an important factor when having chip tuning performed.
- It is important to choose a reliable provider for chip tuning, nowadays there is a proliferation of "cheap" providers, be careful with this.
What is chiptuning?
What is Chip Tuning? Chip tuning improves the performance of an engine. This is done by adjustments to the engine computer. The engine computer, also called ECU, is adjusted. This improves the engine's power, torque and fuel efficiency.
Why consider Chiptuning??
There are many reasons to choose chiptuning. It improves driving pleasure through faster acceleration and faster throttle response. Fuel consumption can also decrease, which is good for your wallet, but we never make promises about fuel consumption.
“Chipttuning is the key to a better driving experience and a smoother driving car.”
Different methods of chiptuning
We can carry out chiptuning in various ways, depending on the type of ECU in the car.
- Chiptuning by OBD plug in the car: With chip tuning via the OBD we read the data from the ECU via the OBD plug in the car.
- Chiptuning on Bench: if it is not possible via the OBD and/or if we have our reasons for not doing it via the OBD, we can read the ECU in bench mode: In bench mode we remove the ECU from the car and connect our tuning tools directly to the ECU.
- Chiptuning by Boot mode: In some cars it is necessary for us to open the ECU and read and write the ECU directly on the PCB of the ECU.
Chiptuning: Advantages
Chiptuning makes your car faster, smoother and provides a better driving experience. However, most of our customers do not perform chiptuning to be the fastest to leave a traffic light, but for more torque (for example with a caravan or trailer) and more power for the intermediate sprints (overtaking on the highway.)
The biggest advantages are more power and torque. The engine works more efficiently through adjustments. This makes your car faster and improves throttle response.
Chiptuning can also make the car more economical, but we never make promises about this and this is often a marketing story.
Petrol cars will generally become slightly more economical, but this is often more efficient with Diesel engines.
How does chiptuning work?
Chiptuning improves the performance of an engine by adjusting the engine control. This is done through software updates in the engine computer (ECU). In this way, engine functions such as fuel injection, ignition and turbo pressure are improved.
Steps in the chiptuning process
- Car diagnosis
- Reading the original software from the car
- Adapt the data we get from the car's ECU
- Write the tuned software to the ECU
- Test drive from the customer, who comes back with a smile .
Safety and chiptuning
Chiptuning is safe for the engine, unless proper maintenance is done and the car is properly warmed up before you start using the power..
In + 13 years we have never had a car that broke down due to tuning.
Chiptuning "STAGES"
There are different "stages" in chiptuning.
- Stage 1: Stage 1 is only optimization through software. This is the most popular choice and is the safest choice, it does not demand too much from the engine.
- Stage 2: At stage 2, hardware on the car must be changed, such as a different downpipe, removal of the particulate filter, etc.
- Stage 3 and beyond: You should consider a different turbo, intercooler, etc.
Chiptuning Rotterdam
Wht? Because only the best chiptuning is important for your car...
- More Power
-
With Chiptuning your car gets more power, more flexibility and therefore more driving pleasure. You don't need a fast car for this, we generally get normal family cars that want a little more power for a caravan, for example.
- Custom Chiptuning
-
Custom chiptuning, this means that we adjust the data to the data we get from the car's computer. Unlike many "cheap" providers. These often use automatically generated software and/or incorrect data. Cheap is usually expensive in Chiptuningland.
- Dyno Tested
-
We do not have a test bench ourselves, but the software we write has been tested on the test bench. So you can have your car chipped with us with peace of mind.
- Diagnosis
-
Before we start, we always diagnose the car, so we often know in advance whether there are any defects in the car.
- Reliability
-
Chiptuning is reliable, if done properly. In 14 years we have never had a car with problems DUE to tuning. Of course, good maintenance and proper handling of a (cold) engine is always an important point. Both if the car is original or has Chiptuning.
