FAQ

1. What is my vehicle's ECU?

An engine control unit (ECU) is a vehicle's electronic 'brain' that controls everything to do with the combustion process within the engine and its performance.   

2. Is Tuning Safe?

When we remap, or 'recalibrate' a vehicle's ECU, we aim to optimise efficiency, power and torque of the engine within the safety margins of the manufacturer.   We leave safety margins intact and reliability is our key aim first and foremost.

3. Why Don’t Manufacturers Do It?

Manufacturers generally sell vehicles which need to service worldwide markets, meet strict emissions and environmental standards and appeal to the largest consumer market as possible. This results in manufacturers selling what is essentially a basic generic version of their vehicle to meet these standards across as many different countries as they can and to appeal to the needs and wants of as many customers as possible.   We can enhance the coding to suit your requirements and local Aussie conditions without having any negative impact on your vehicle at all. Only positives!

4. How Does It Work?

We carefully re-engineer hundreds of parameters in the factory ECU and have spent over a decade specialising in remapping Australian diesel 4x4's with dyno development and extensive testing as part of our ongoing research and development programs.  As all tuners and developers should, we pay special attention to fuelling strategies, torque management, air/boost management, injection duration and timing, EGT and AFR to name a few.  Having full ECU access through a host of editing software means the level of detail we can delve into surpasses most, which means we deliver a level of customisation and quality of tuning is the best on the market.
