If you want to improve the performance of your vehicle, then speak to us about our professional car tuning in Weston super Mare. We provide chip tuning that is tailored to exactly what you want. We can offer excellent gains in torque and power and we also believe in safe and sensible tuning that is within the vehicle’s capabilities. In our view, there’s no point chasing the numbers if it isn’t reliable or driveable! All our tuning comes complete with a lifetime warranty against software malfunctions and we backup and store the original software and mapping just in case you want to revert back to original settings in the future. For further information or to get a quote, then get in touch today.
Electronic engine tuning allows you to increase engine performance and power while enhancing driving comfort. We provide various stages of ECU tuning, ranging from Stage 1 to Stage 3 and we can also offer economy tuning. As part of our service, we can provide additional software upgrades depending on your needs.
Manufacturers produce cars with default ECU settings set to a particular region to help the vehicles comply with general regulations for safety standards and emissions. The default settings can be restrictive to the vehicle’s performance and this is where professional chip tuning comes in. Chip tuning allows you to unlock the potential of your vehicle to suit your driving style, handling requirements and general conditions. The number of tweaks that can be performed on the ECU is seemingly limitless. For example, you can increase power, torque, tweak fuel and ignition maps, remove throttle restrictions, and adjust fuel injection, spark timing and the anti-lock braking system, just to name a few!
Different ECU tuning stages are outlined below. Before we carry out any remapping, we always ensure to perform a full diagnostic health check and data log to make sure that the vehicle is operating correctly with no issues present such as transmission, engine and ABS issues that could undermine the tuning process.
Our Stage 1 tuning is designed for standard and unmodified vehicles with no hardware upgrades. This remap increases power and torque while improving fuel efficiency. It also removes flat spots and gives a more responsive drive without compromising reliability.
Additional ECU software modifications can be made at extra cost. These can include tweaks to DPF and EGR software, Vmax speed limiter removal (applies mainly to German cars), DTC deletion, secondary 02 sensor removal, swirl flap removal (again physical blanks and removal incur parts and labour charges). Anything else you might want, just ask!
We recommend high octane petrol/ high cetane diesel and high flow air filters wherever possible but it’s not entirely necessary for a Stage 1 tune, just recommended. We can also offer fitting services for any items, so speak to us about your requirements.
Stage 2 tuning tends to be more than just a basic remap. It gives bigger increases in power and torque than a Stage 1 tune. Efficiency will still improve but not as dramatically as a Stage 1. Often hardware upgrades are required before a Stage 2 remap can be applied. This package will remove flat spots and gives a more responsive drive without compromising reliability.
Some of the hardware modifications required for Stage 2 are sold for off-road purposes only. These include DPF, primary or secondary cat removal.
Other modifications can also be added to amplify the stage 2 tunes effect such as higher efficiency inter-coolers, hi-flow exhaust, uprated boost pipes and so on.
Hi octane fuel/high cetane diesel is an absolute must for Stage 2 tuned cars. Other supporting modifications for reliability are also available depending on the car. If you need advice, simply speak to the team so we can discuss the best options.
All previously mentioned software additions are still available where applicable. Some of which may be required for a Stage 2 tuned car.
For a Stage 3 Tune, up-rated hardware will be required. The numerous hardware additions require a fully bespoke remap carried out on a rolling road where parameters can be monitored in a safe and reliable way. However, there are exceptions to this, where Stage 3 tunes have already been developed for specific cars and hardware packages. Please contact us with your spec list and we can provide a custom quote and offer advice on the required hardware upgrades.
Additional ECU software modifications can be made at extra cost on top of a tune or on their own, it’s up to you.
These extras are available on all tuning stages or purely as reliability modifications. For example, DPF deletion removal is available without additional tuning. A free Stage 1 remap will be offered as part of our DPF solution.
Your vehicle is capable of so much more than the default factory ECU settings allow. So, if you are looking to increase performance, power, fuel efficiency and more, then it is well worth considering.
Tuning will void the engine’s warranty and could also void other aspects of your vehicle’s warranty including the gearbox and clutch.
We recommend notifying your insurance company of any modifications as it could affect your premiums and your insurance policy may become void if you do not declare it.
Yes. We always store a backup of the original map. As a result, if you change your mind at any time, we can reprogram the default settings.
