General Overview

If you are looking to improve the efficiency of your vehicle, one of the most effective mods you can do is an ECU tune. Most vehicles come “under-tuned” from the factory. This can be for multiple reasons:

• Safety requirements

• Staying well below the mechanical limits of the engine / key components of your vehicle

• Marketing placement of the vehicle

ECU tuning involves changing a number of parameters in your engine control systems including:

• Spark timing

• Air/fuel maps

• Camshaft timing

• Turbo Boost

These parameters are adjusted to allow the engine to run at it’s maximum safe efficiency.

There are multiple Tuning routes:

• “Canned Tunes” - These are pre-written tunes that were written for your model of car, with the modifications that you specify. This is the way to go for a lightly modified car.

• “Custom Tunes” - These are tunes that one of our tuners will write for the specific modifications on your car using data logs, and/or dyno runs to collect the necessary data from your specific car. This tune will be unique for your car.
