TOP 5 Things You Should Know Before Car Tuning

Car tuning and its specifics is what we’re going to talk about today. In the previous article we had talked about what is chip tuning and ECU chip – if you haven’t read it yet, don’t miss it!

In brief, chip tuning (also known as ECU tuning or ECU remapping) is a process of programming your car’s chip. This programming or “remap” aims to optimize the way your engine works and to achieve extra performance and/or fuel efficiency. In other words, tuning engineers can optimize the boost map, ignition map or the fuel map, according to your needs and desires.

Who doesn’t want super fast or unbelievable economical car?

If your passion is cars and you are looking forward to get your car remapped, you definitely must pay attention to these TOP 5 things before car tuning!

1. What are chip tuning files?

Chip tuning files contain data that can manipulate your car settings and control the engine’s performance via its ECU. These files contain special and unique information and can influence the way your ECU (Electronic Control Unit) runs. To explain it even more clearly, chip tuning files can affect almost every element of your car’s computer  – horsepower, torque at specific RPMs, fuel efficiency and etc.

2. When it’s time for car tuning?

There is no right time for car tuning – it all depends on your needs and desires!

If you want better engine performance – it’s time for tuning! If your car’s fuel consumption is beyond your control and you want to achieve fuel efficiency – also it’s right time for tuning! The main aim of chip tuning is to unlock the full potential of your car, so don’t wait any longer!

3. Car tuning and everyday driving – practical or not?

You don’t have to worry – your car will still be absolutely economical for everyday driving after the car tuning! You can drive it in the city, from home to work or wherever you choose as before getting your car remapped. The only difference will be the adrenaline kick that you will feel when you drive at full throttle!

4. Where to get my tuning files from?

Nowadays, there are so many tuning companies that offer tuning files. The most important thing to do is to get your tuning files from a professional with extensive experience. Some of the best tuning engineers take years before they refine their skills and knowledge.

Not every tuner knows the right data needed to unlock the full potential of your car’s engine. If a tuner is careless or unexperienced, they can badly damage your engine. Furthermore, it is really important to keep the safety functions of the engine control. Unfortunately, many tuning engineers don’t have it on mind and they deactivate the component protection…

That’s why we strongly recommend getting your files only from a reputable source!

5. Can I restore the original settings of my car if I’m not satisfied from the changes?

Absolutely, yes! The standard settings will not be lost!

Tuning engineers read out your car computer’s original data and save all of it on a secure server. Only then, they start the car tuning. If you’re not satisfied, you can easily ask for restoring your default settings any time you like.

In conclusion for car tuning:

Before getting your car remapped, you should be aware of those things above. Car tuning may sounds easy, but the truth is that it is really hard work to create quality tuning files.
