Performance software optimization, customized for your ride.
We’ve partnered with Flat-Out Motorsport , trained expert in vehicle tuning, to provide the ultimate in performance software optimizations. Each vehicle we do is extensively data-logged, road-tested, dyno proven, safety assured and engineered to maximize the performance potential of your engine.
FAQs
What’s included in our packages?
⦾ Comprehensive mechanical inspection to ensure that your vehicle can safely be modified.
⦾ Recommendations for components that should be replaced or upgraded to align you with the goals you seek.
⦾ Extensive data-logging and knock-detection motoring using sophisticated equipment.
⦾ Iterative software modifications that takes you to your goal, safely, employing multiple revisions, validation during road-testing and dyno-testing.
⦾ Bespoke software/tuning changes to your car that optimize torque/load requests, target ignition timing, target air fuel ratios, target boost (if applicable), variable camshaft tuning (if applicable), MAF curve adjustment (if required) - all without knock, turbo-overspeed and overheating conditions.
How long does it take?
A few days. It starts by doing a mechanical inspection on your car to ensure it’s in good condition to accept performance modifications. Once we’re confident in your car, we start deconstructing the factory software and do some baseline optimizations. We hook up an external suite of sensors and data-logging equipment and we validate our changes on the road, in real-world conditions. We do this several times, incrementing towards perfection and then we chase the maximum potential of your engine setup on the dyno where we make multiple revisions. It takes time but you get a quality product that maximizes potential while staying safe for your engine.
What stages are our software optimizations?
The word ‘Stage‘ is used by chip tuners and performance companies to indicate how aggressive the product is. Stage 1 tunes usually are for stock cars, stage 2 refers to light bolt-on parts, and stage 3+ are reserved for custom modifications. We maximize the potential of your engine regardless of your modifications, so we don’t use this ‘Stage’ terminology. In-fact, our tunes offer better results than comparable stage 1/2/3+ tunes from our competitors.
Aren’t all tuners doing the same thing?
Most of them do, we don’t. Each car that we do has an extensive R&D time where we log parameters such as knock, boost, ignition timing, intake air temperatures, air-fuel ratio, horsepower and torque often using specialized equipment, and then make incremental changes to the software to get the desired results. We validate these results on the dyno. Most flash-tuning services in TT provide generic, unoptimized performance software files from overseas tuning companies that don’t derive maximum potential from your engine. We offer tailor-made solutions, the others program files.
What performance gains can I expect?
More than what the others offer. It’s difficult to say exactly what horsepower and torque gain you can expect, since each car responds differently. What we can say is that relative to the competition locally, we offer the best results for your car. The others may claim lofty power gains, but we dare them to validate power on a dyno. In real-world conditions, we give you maximum and safe potential.
Are there any risks?
Some, but we minimize and mitigate against them. Increasing horsepower and torque over the levels that the manufacturer has deemed safe for all cars like yours has risks, but we pour a lot of time into ensuring that components aren’t overstressed by the additional power we’re delivering, and ensuring that adverse conditions such as knock doesn’t occur. We also advise if your car’s mechanical health is sub-optimal for our software modifications, and we also make recommendations for performance part upgrades to ensure that your goals are delivered in the most cost-effective, optimal and low-risk manner possible.
How much does it cost?
If your European vehicle is non-turbocharged, we charge $5,000 for our performance optimization. If your vehicle is turbo-charged, we charge $7,000 for this service.
