**🏎️🔧 We’re Back & Busy! 🔧🏎️**

Hey everyone! 👋 It’s been a while since we’ve posted, and that’s because we’ve been super busy behind the scenes! Exciting news – I’m now working in a new unit alongside Josh Walker Vehicle Locksmith located at Unit 2, The Rope Walk, Beech Avenue, PL40QQ Pop down and say hello😁

One of our recent highlights is this beautiful Porsche that came in for an ECU remap. 🛠️ We had a great time fine-tuning this machine, and it’s running better than ever! 💨

Mitsubishi Outlander EGR fix

A Mitsubishi Outlander completed today at SWR, customer made contact with us after continuous issues with his EGR system, putting the vehicle into limp mode.

The customer chose our EGR solution giving a fix for life, also wanting a little extra power they also opted for a stage 1 tune.

We applied our stage 1 tune and EGR solution. The customer was very pleased with the performance increase and the money saved with our EGR solution.

WHAT IS CAR TUNING?

Car tuning has been around for years, and the perception of it and understanding has been a bit all over the place. The general fundamentals is that we can access the vehicles computer to be able to adjust the software to allow better running and generally more power. This is subjective to the capabilities of the guy behind the laptop and what tools he has access too.

Generally all modern vehicles have a computer called the ECU which is the engine contol unit, this holds a computer program which not only runs the engine, it also limits the engine to what the manufacturer has set it too, as they have a duty of care to themselves and the government to make sure that car remains super reliable for the warranty period, and also falls in line with the governments legislations for emissions. This in turn generally leaves the vehicle under performing and in a poor state of tune to be able to run the worst of the worst when it comes to fuel quality, heat and atmospheric pressure conditions.

We as aftermarket software developers are tasked to be able to see what the car is actually capable of in the climate and fuel quality that is actually available to the vehicle, as there is no point restricting a car to 91 ron, when the minimum we see is 95 ron fuel for example.

The first part of the tuning journey we call “Stage One” the above registration checker will give you the general power figures available for your car at this level, this level is a stock car with completely stock hardware with a good service level. At this point we have set the car up to make the most out of what we have, and found the restrictions for the next level of tune which is of course “Stage two”

BMW 118D 2015 Stage 1 Tune

118D in for some extra power today. Around a 30% power improvement alongside 25% extra torque. Plenty of mid range power eliminating them stock flat spots.

We were able to bring the turbo in earlier minimising factory lag also giving a much better power delivery throughout the gear ratio.

This stage 1 software for this BMW is designed for use with standard components and is within the tolerances of your vehicle. This is classed as a fast road application which is the best all round performance for BMW ’s.

We also calibrated the sport display power measurements to match the new power reading’s.

Ford Transit Custom 2.0TDCi 2017 ADblue Fix

Ford Transit Custom 2.0TDCi originally in for an Adblue removal due to Nox issues causing the non start mileage countdown to hit 114 miles. ADblue fault sorted quickly and efficiently, with no more warning lights on the dash and the owner no longer having to use ADblue.

He then decided to add on and have a ECO tune at the same time, safe to say he was very happy with the outcome we not only saved him a fortune in dealership repairs but he also gained some extra power and improved fuel efficiency.

VW Golf GTD Engine & Gearbox Tune

Engine ECU Remapping

A engine remap on this 2.0 TDI GTD 181BHP Volkswagen Golf will offer the peak power gains listed below, however as is the case with most vehicles the peak power gains are only half the benefit of a remap. Power delivery earlier in the rev range due to additional low down torque, along with improvements to mid-range delivery provide a much wider power band. This hugely increases the response and drivability of the vehicle far beyond what peak numbers alone may suggest.

In addition to these power gains, we also expect to see a 10-15% improvement to fuel economy in like for like driving when running our engine tuning software for this vehicle.

Gearbox TCU Remapping

The gearbox has been tuned for faster shift speeds, smoother gear shifts, faster reaction to paddle shift inputs and improved mid range torque. Vehicles are also quicker and more responsive at low speeds or from a standstill due to earlier transmission locking.

BMW 320D Stage 1 Tune

As always we start with a health check to ensure the vehicle is in good working condition with no under lying issues. Passing with no issues.

We then set to tuning, we have tuned countless amounts of N47 this being the 177BHP model also used in the 5 series. Bringing the turbo in earlier to give a improved throttle response and torque gain.

Vehicle road tested to ensure components are all configured correctly with the vehicle performing as it should.
