Performance enhancement – Chip Tuning

NEW! From now on we can offer not only a performance enhancement but also measure the power of the car. We do this to ensure that the results of our work are clear and understandable for everyone. Ever since the manufacturing of cars with electronic fuel injection systems began, an opportunity to improve their performance emerged.

Performance enhancement - better known as Chip tuning, is a combination of two words that reflect the essence of the work. Chip is a microchip which contains a program that manages the engine of your vehicle, tuning means to modify, adjust and tune. Chip tuning is also performed on old cars, however the microchip that has the engine control program must be taken out, because all microchips can be programmed only once, so the old chip must be changed with a new one that meets all the needs. Nevertheless, all of this is in the past since modern cars can be programmed without removing the chip. In order for this to work, one must use the best equipment that chip tuning equipment manufacturer can offer. We work with Chip Tuning equipment manufacturers that are ranked as the best ones among programmers only. Chip tuning requires an analysis of the car's engine operating parameters to find out whether they match with manufacturer-specified parameters. This is determined by diagnostic monitoring of active engine operating parameters. We inform the owner of all discrepancies in the parameters and offer an advice on how to fix them. Some of the problems can be fixed on-site. If the car is in order, current, usually basic engine control program is scanned, the desired results and existing technical capabilities are discussed with the client. Then we continue our work with the engine control program that was scanned earlier. It undergoes various modifications which improves the car. The car becomes more fuel efficient, sharper when driving at constant speed or using cruise control. After modifications the torque can be applied instantaneously and abruptly. Overtaking maneuver becomes much more safer with the engine revolutions at such level, where the car was snoozing and waiting before the chip tuning. The dynamics of the car change throughout the rev range, the difference between the power curves (obtained from the DYNO stand test) is that they start to rise earlier due to higher torque and more power persists at higher revs.
After programming the last step is to incorporate new engine control program to the engine control unit. Just as before Chip tuning, new active engine parameters are monitored after reprogramming to see if they match the desired engine parameters.

Fuel efficiency is different for all vehicles:
VW/Audi/Skoda/Seat 1,9-2.0TDI – up to 10%, about -0,5L/100km.
For BMW 3.0D the results after Chip tuning are more significant - ~ 1-1,5L/100km.

The results of performance enhancement between turbo diesel cars, turbo gasoline cars, and atmospheric gasoline engines (without turbine) vary. Power increase for gasoline engines without turbines is the smallest - only up to 10%, so in most cases chip tuning such vehicles is pointless, unless it has high engine displacement or is being prepared to be used in sports so the resources can be spared.

Chip tuning diesel vehicles

Chip tuning can usually increase the power of turbo diesel cars by ~30%. There is a possibility to increase the power even more, however some modifications under the hood are unavoidable: more productive turbines, looser intake/exhaust piping,more permeable fuel system(nozzles, plunger), modified head shaft, etc. The results of Tuning box are way better than Chip tuning. The principle of Tuning box is very simple: with the help of impedance the power is generated by increasing the amount of fuel, which heavily loads the fuel pump and thus reduces its life span. A number of parameters change after Chip tuning: fuel quantity, fuel and air pressure, combustion angle, nozzle opening time, limiters of torque or power are changed to new values.  After considering everything the method of performance enhancement and the price of Chip tuning are determined. The DPF/FAP condition of the soot system is always assessed before and after the work. Chip tuning is usually done in Vilnius, but with some exceptions we can arrive at your address (e.g. when chip tuning is done on trucks) 

Chip tuning gasoline vehicles

The only difference between turbo gasoline and diesel engines is how much money the customer is prepared to pay. Chip tuning for turbo gasoline engines is more expensive since the program must be improved several times before it reaches desired results and security of resources is maintained. In order to achieve the best results, we strive to stay in constant contact with equipment manufacturers and programmers from other European countries, therefore we can not offer very low prices. Quality work has its value but also must be accessible to people. There are many cases of low-quality Chip tuning. In such cases, people are advised to find out where they intend to deliver their car and what the consequences may be, because we do not like hearing bad reviews of Chip tuning that damage its reputation. The results of Tuning box are way better than Chip tuning. The principle of Tuning box is very simple: with the help of impedance the power is generated by increasing the amount of fuel alone, which heavily loads the fuel pump and thus reduces its life span. A number of parameters change after Chip tuning: fuel quantity, fuel and air pressure, combustion angle, nozzle opening time, limiters of torque or power are changed to new values. After considering everything the method of performance enhancement and the price of Chip tuning are determined.
