THE HUB OF EVERY TUNE – THE ECU
Every car powered by an injection system uses a device called an Electronic Control Unit (ECU).
An ECU is a specialized computer responsible for the parameters of the engine performance under every condition of car speed and load. To ensure that parameters are correct under every condition, a map of fuel supply and ignition control is available for the ECU. This map specifies approximate values of power supply and steering for current conditions in the engine.
When you look after your car properly, and follow the proper maintenance schedule, our Tuning Services offer you the opportunity to maximize your horsepower the manufacturers of your car refused to give you.
The other “CU” – the TCU!
In terms of tuning and performance, a TCU, or Transmission Control Unit, is also software based and can be adjusted to provide you with significant changes in the way your gearbox works. Just some of the changes include:
- Redline adjustment
- Shifting time reduction
- Downshifting during deceleration
- Rev limits adjustment
- Manual mode delay adjustment
- Launch control revs adjustment
- Improvement in shifting smoothness
- Optimizing automatic transmission modes to suit your driving style
- Increase in torque limitations
We’ll take care of the technical talk and put together a proposal specific to your vehicle and the
Stage you are looking to reach.
