1. WHAT IS CHIP TUNING?
Most
of modern cars with electronic injection are using
small computer, powered steering gear. This power
steering gear is controlling volume of injected fuel
and time of ignition. Chip tuning is optimization of
program that is needed by engine computer. We
increase the volume of inject and turbo filling
pressure. The acceleration of your car is much
better, but maximum speed does not substantially
change, because we are still protecting engine by
not modifying enabling device r.p.m..
2. IS IT NECESSARY TO MAKE SOME MECHANICS CHANGES
IN THE ENGINE?
NO,
we just make changes in car electronic system (changing
or reprogramming eprom). In most vehicles from the
year of manufacture 2000 and more, we make
transformation trough diagnostic plug (OBD
programming) in to “car computer”- ECU. That is how
it is possible that the procedure does not take time
of work no longer than an hour.
3. HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO MAKE CHIP TUNING?
If there is necessary to make procedure in physical
way in electronic car computer (opening or soldering)
it is approximately 1 hour to wait, when we make
procedure by OBD programming you will wait less than
an hour(app. 30-45 min.).
4. MANUFACTORY WARRANTY, OUR WARRANTY
On every transformation we give 24 month guaranty,
which is limited on the electronic transformation.
Any car breakdown (turbo machine, engine, and
gearbox) is not included in this guaranty.
Manufactory guaranty is terminated if there is
committed any un-authorised procedure on vehicle (ex.
Chancing tiers on un-authorised services can
terminate your guaranty if on authorised service
discover that). Those are the rules of manufactory.
But in reality in our country they can not discover
our procedure, because they do not have equipment
that is necessary to find out that the car is being
chip tuned.
5. WHY MANUFACTURER DOESN’T DO THIS?
Manufacturer must follow different standards:
ecology, technical, social, economical ……….when a
new engine is developed. That is why; engines are
having up to 40 % reserves in horsepower and torque.
Despite this, there are different car model with
same engine and different power, example: MB Vito
110 and 112 CDI, and VW Sharan TDI 90KM is the same
as Golf 100KM.
6. IS VEHICLE LIFETIME SHORTER?
If you drive your car as is recommended, than
lifetime is not shorter because of chip tuning. It
is important, that you warm up engine on working
temperature before you start driving with “full
throttle”. And it is important that, you do not
drive 300 km together with “full throttle” and that
you cool down engine by running engine in idling
speed before turning off an engine. It is also
important that your car is running with quality
motor oil and that is having quality service.
7. WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH FUEL CONSUMPTION?
Fuel consumption is dependent by the way you drive
your car. If you drive in rally style (high.- r.p.m)
fuel consumption may increase, while driving in
r.p.m. between 2000 and 3000 by turbo diesel engine
and between 3000-5000 r.p.m. by petrol engine, fuel
consumption may stay the same or even decrease.
8. IS IT POSSIBLE TO SWITCH ON MANUFACTORY
SETTING, AFTER CHIP TUNING?
That is possible, but we do not recommend it,
because:
ECU is partly self- learning which means that in
program are specified limited values, while the
optimum values are setting by ECU himself. After
chip tuning in vehicles, car needs at least 300 km
for optimal working. Switching between serial and
tuning program is not recommended because that is
causing more damage, than in non switching option.
9. WHAT ABOUT SERVICING?
Everything stays the same, as before chip tuning.
