Chiptuning is simply a modification or alteration of the engine control program in the Engine Control Unit (ECU), the electronic control unit. By increasing power and torque, the car becomes more powerful and faster, often using less fuel. Thanks to the correct software modification, all parameters are selected to run as efficiently as possible with minimal losses. Modern control computers allow their software to be modified non-invasively, simply by connecting the interface to the diagnostic socket. In older controllers with non-programmable memory systems, it is necessary to desolder the memory from the ECU and in turn the latest devices by connecting to the Jtag port.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

We do not modify diesel engines over 13 years old or gasoline engines in cars over 10 years old. So in 2021, the oldest diesel could be from 2008 and the oldest gasoline from 2011.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Without a doubt, the best solution is individual tuning of the car because we can adjust parameters such as fuel quantity, injection angle, boost pressure, limiters, if necessary, pressure on the injector rail, and much more precisely. Tuning BOX is an external controller - please do not confuse it with pseudo BOXes available for PLN 200 on auction sites, which are actually a common resistor! The ECU thinks the engine is cold and continuously injects more fuel. Professional tuning BOXes, just like in the case of chip tuning, are set on a dynamometer; they cannot be used to \"adjust\" all parameters, so performance may be lower than when changing the program. The devices we use are proven solutions from reputable companies such as Burgertuning or Dimsport.\u00a0<\/span>vennligst ikke forveksle den med pseudo BOXer tilgjengelig for PLN 200 p\u00e5 auksjonsnettsteder, som faktisk er en vanlig motstand! ECU-en tror at motoren er kald og injiserer stadig mer drivstoff.<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0Profesjonelle tuning BOXer, akkurat som i tilfellet med chip tuning, er innstilt p\u00e5 et dynamometer; de kan ikke brukes til \u00e5 «justere» alle parametere, s\u00e5 ytelsen kan v\u00e6re lavere enn n\u00e5r du endrer programmet. Enhetene vi bruker er utpr\u00f8vde l\u00f8sninger fra anerkjente selskaper som Burgertuning eller Dimsport.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

We often get questions about how much power the car will have after tuning, most often they are asked in the form: \"I would like to add 20% power, is it possible?\" We always play with open cards with the client, but we never specify percentage increases because this is a wrong approach to the subject and introduces unnecessary confusion. The approximate increase in power and torque, depending on the car and engine, is from 15HP to even 60HP and from about 40Nm to about 150Nm. Everything depends on which car we are working on. For engines with small capacity, increases will generally be less than for larger V6 or V8 engines, but this is no rule. In our catalog of power increases, all given parameters are only increases calculated by the website's algorithm based on the specified series parameters. In reality, they can vary greatly, it's just how all websites are built. Therefore, it's best to write to us each time and ask about tuning options and approximate steps.\u00a0<\/span>variere veldig, det er rett og slett hvordan alle nettsider er bygget opp. Derfor er det best \u00e5 skrive til oss hver gang og sp\u00f8rre om\u00a0<\/span>innstillingsmuligheter og omtrentlige trinn.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Chipping or not chipping a car under warranty? Will the Authorized Service Center (ASO) detect tuning? Will I lose my warranty?<\/span>
<\/strong>Many customers ask us these and similar questions, so I will briefly tell you how it all looks\u2026\u00a0<\/span>Every user must remember that there is always a possibility of losing the warranty after chiptuning a car under warranty and fully accept that they take on the risk, her loss.<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0Depending on the vehicle brand, authorized service centers have different access to various parameters that can be read using the service diagnostic unit. When it comes to, for example, Ford or Mazda, the authorized dealer is theoretically impossible to check whether the car has been modified or not. The service can only do it in two ways: take the car to a tuner who will read the program and check if it has been modified or by performing measurements on a dynamometer. When it comes to cars from the VW group (Audi, Skoda, Seat, VW), BMW, or Mercedes, the situation is a bit different, especially when it comes to the latest models in the top shelf. During routine diagnostics, the service technician can go online with the manufacturer, send the correct logs read with a diagnostic scope, and within a dozen or so seconds, he will receive a response and the software update and restoration of factory settings will start automatically.<\/span>

What do we offer to customers with cars under warranty?<\/span><\/strong>
Everything depends on the manufacturer, if a car comes to us and the dealer finds nothing, we usually make a software change, in other cases, we install an external controller (BOX), which is also fine-tuned during measurements on the dynamometer. The customer can disconnect the configured device before visiting the dealer, without fear of losing calibration, and then reconnect it again. A similar procedure is carried out, for example, in case of a breakdown: we disconnect the controller and then call for help. After making changes on our website, we provide information on how to minimize the risk of losing the warranty.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Chiptuning has a negative impact on the durability of the engine and accessories<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0, so to keep the engine in good condition for as long as possible after modification, you should change the engine oil and oil filter at least every 10,000 km, and the air filter at least every other oil change, and do not drive with a full load before the oil reaches operating temperature. We know many cases of users who have damaged stock engines where tuning was never performed, as well as a whole range of cases where the car, after significant modifications, served without problems for hundreds of thousands of kilometers.\u00a0<\/span>The key to long engine life is proper operation and regular service.<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Particle filters and catalytic converters sometimes limit tuning possibilities, but this applies to more serious modifications and higher power. With standard stage 1 chip tuning, particle filters and catalytic converters don't matter much, and you can easily tune a car equipped with them. Due to different fuel doses and a greater amount of soot in the exhaust gases of tuned cars, an increased frequency of DPF regeneration may be noticed in some models. So, for example, instead of burning out every 800 km, it burns out every 700 km. This is not an unwanted or abnormal symptom. In most cars, nothing changes at all. As a rule, the symptoms I mention appear in cars with higher mileage, where a lot of ash has accumulated in the filter, limiting the filter's effectiveness. For our part, we try to optimize the program so that it affects the particle filter as little as possible, and if necessary, we limit the power\/torque. It's not worth removing the filter for a\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0few\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0HP\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0and\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0Nm.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

An example of this phenomenon is a turbocharger; purely hypothetically, suppose the maximum boost pressure in the series is 1.1 bar, despite this, the manufacturer predicted that it should withstand 1.5 bar to maintain a safety margin and avoid a possible failure caused by, for example, temporary overboost... when we set the maximum boost pressure to 1.3 bar during program modification, it will still be a safe value, but the safety margin will be reduced, and the turbo will wear out faster.<\/span><\/p>

              • Car damage caused by strong airflow generated by the dynamometer fan.<\/span><\/li>
              • Damage to the drive system (e.g., engine, turbine), injection system (e.g., high-pressure pump, injectors), gear system (e.g., clutch), and others.<\/span><\/li><\/ol>

                Keep in mind that if a breakdown or failure occurs, it is better that it happened on the dynamometer and not during, for example, a family trip. In our industry, we say that if a car did not survive the dyno tests, it means that it was in very poor condition, and it was only a matter of time before something happened. On the dynamometer, the drive system can sometimes be subjected to heavier loads than during quiet driving on the road, and under such conditions, hidden faults or defects can occur.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0Statistically, failure occurs once in a few hundred cars, so this is a margin, and the most common are tire damages. In case of failure, we help the customer organize a tow truck or other assistance we can offer at that time. If the fault is our fault, we provide the opportunity to repair the car according to our policy.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0An example of such a situation may be, for example, not fastening the seat belt, resulting in the car breaking off the rollers and damaging it.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

                NOTE THE FOLLOWING! The results of measurements on the rolling dynamometer cannot be treated as a document constituting the basis for, for example, a warranty claim against a car manufacturer, due to the fact that rolling dynamometers for power and torque measurements in Poland are not subject to approval and certification pursuant to the regulations of the relevant minister or other state bodies. If your car shows less power than declared by the manufacturer, you must perform measurements on an engine dynamometer under laboratory conditions and in accordance with all the car manufacturer's standards or those resulting from relevant regulations. Preferably at the stand used for the approval of internal combustion engines.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

                What matters is the technical condition, not whether the car has traveled 150,000 or 250,000 km. We have often encountered situations where a car with a mileage of, for example, 50,000 km performed worse than an identical car with a mileage of 100,000 km higher. We do not chip diesel cars older than 13 years and gasoline cars older than 10 years.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

                We do not schedule customers per hour. Please deliver each car, regardless of the service it will take, between 7:00 and 7:30. The operating time is one working day, so the car will be ready for pick-up around 14.30-15.00. For more advanced projects, the operating time can take several days. Customers who wish to perform measurements on the dynamometer can only be scheduled in the morning; it is not possible to arrange for another time. In some cases, a few hours may be enough, and if an error occurs (e.g., control error), the entire operation may stretch to several days. When programming the ECU, something can always happen that is completely beyond our control and that we have no influence on, but fortunately, such situations are extremely rare. It may also happen that the car cannot be modified because, for example, it has a newer controller or processor in the engine controller that is not accessible. This is not up to us and happens very rarely, but unfortunately, there may be situations where we cannot repair your car, despite our best intentions.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

                The price of chiptuning depends mainly on the type of engine controller (ECU). The newer the car, the more advanced the control unit manages the engine's operation and injection system, requiring us to use more modern and more expensive programmers to reprogram such a computer. Prices for professional modification, including diagnostics and measurements on a stationary dynamometer (necessary for chiptuning), start from PLN 1000.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

                We guarantee the highest quality of services and that you will be satisfied with your visit to our service center, but we do not provide a guarantee for the car or its individual elements\/parts. We do our utmost to ensure that our program is correctly created, i.e., that it does not generate errors or problems of an electronic nature, and if they occur and the cause is a modification, we will correct the program free of charge. One of the problems that do not always appear on the dyno are errors related to torque calculation \u2013 to explain it in a very simple and pathological way, it can be said that the processor algorithm controls the torque generated by the engine, and if it is exceeded in relation to the stored values (often in a very complicated way), the ECU generates an error related to this fact. Sometimes these are errors directly related to torque calculation, sometimes they are sporadic power losses, and other times they are errors related to module calibration or incorrect coding. It all depends on the specific brand\/model\/engine\/year. In many cases, we already have patents to solve this problem, and we do it already when tuning the car, but there are situations where, despite appropriate modifications, the problem occurs because it needs to be solved differently in a given software version. If such a situation occurs, we ask the customer to provide us with a car to correct the program.\u00a0<\/span>
                In addition to the above-mentioned possible irregularities, there may be errors not directly related to the change but whose appearance was indirectly influenced by it. Examples of such errors and ways (hints) to solve them:<\/span>
                1. Errors related to the fuel system<\/span>
                a) The pressure on the fuel rail is too high, causing:<\/span>
                \u2013 malfunctioning fuel regulator \u2013 the solution is to replace the regulator<\/span>
                \u2013 incorrect operation of the fuel pressure sensor on the CR rail \u2013 the solution is to replace the sensor<\/span>
                \u2013 the program is too strong \u2013 the solution is to correct the program<\/span>
                b) Too low fuel pressure<\/span>
                \u2013 malfunctioning fuel regulator \u2013 the solution is to replace the regulator<\/span>
                \u2013 incorrect operation of the fuel pressure sensor on the CR rail \u2013 the solution is to replace the sensor<\/span>
                \u2013 clogged or defective fuel filter \u2013 the solution is to replace it ONLY with original<\/span>
                2. Errors related to the air system<\/span>
                a) Too high boost pressure\u00a0<\/span>
                \u2013 malfunctioning geometry \u2013 the solution may be to clean it, but remember that after cleaning and incorrect assembly of the turbine elements, it may work even worse<\/span>
                \u2013 damaged turbine \u2013 in this case, the turbine should be replaced with a new one.<\/span>
                \u2013 damaged boost pressure control system (hoses, sensors, solenoids) \u2013 check and replace damaged elements<\/span>
                \u2013 problem with boost limiter set in the program \u2013 the solution is to correct the program<\/span>
                b) Too low boost pressure \u2013 malfunctioning geometry \u2013 the solution may be to clean it, however, you should remember that after cleaning and incorrect assembly of the turbine elements, it may work even worse<\/span>
                \u2013 damaged turbine \u2013 in this case, the turbine should be replaced with a new one<\/span>
                \u2013 damaged boost pressure control system (hoses, sensors, solenoids) \u2013 check and replace damaged elements<\/span>
                \u2013 problem with boost limiter set in the program \u2013 the solution is to correct the program<\/span>

                In each case, the problem may lie in the program, but in 99% of cases, it is only related to the fact that the car is not fully functional \u2013 the fact that it works and functions as it should with standard settings is no guarantee of full efficiency. Many components are still efficient enough not to generate errors or service operating modes when set to standard settings, but after increasing parameters such as boost or fuel flow, these components work outside the framework of their operation or regulation. In such cases, we recommend reverting to the series and repairing the car. Reducing power\/torque or making other program corrections in such situations is a waste of time because without repairing the car, nothing meaningful will be done. Such nuances do not appear on a dynamometer or during a short test drive; only after several dozen or several hundred kilometers. If they come out during tuning on the dyno, we make no modifications, and the customer pays only for the measurements. But if irregularities later arise and are related to the fact that the car is defective, the customer can repair the car without returning to the series or using standard settings. Diagnostics checking whether uploading the original program is paid, but in some cases, it may be free. If the solution is to correct the program, we will, of course, do it for free under warranty.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
