ECU REMAPPING TUNING OPTIONS
ECONOMY TUNING
With fuel prices soaring, our Economy Tune recalibrates your ECU to squeeze every kilometer from each litre. More torque means fewer gear changes and smoother drives. Note: This one's for Turbo Diesel vehicles only.
STAGE 1 TUNING
Perfect for standard, unmodified beasts. Boost power and torque while sipping less fuel. Say goodbye to flat spots and hello to a ride that responds as eagerly as you do—all without sacrificing reliability.
STAGE 2 TUNING
Ready to take things up a notch? With Stage 2, expect a bigger wallop of power and torque. It may require some hardware upgrades, but the thrill is worth it. Again, kiss those flat spots goodbye.
STAGE 3 TUNING ...
Serious about speed? Stage 3 is where the magic happens. With upgraded hardware, we craft a bespoke remap on our AWD chassis dyno, tailor-made to your vehicle's needs.
DIESEL & LIGHT COMMERCIAL TUNING
ECU REMAPS FOR DIESEL CARS & LCV
Are you driving a diesel car or light commercial vehicle? An ECU remap can significantly enhance your fuel economy (KPL) by increasing torque at the lower end of your rev range. This allows you to accelerate with less throttle and shift through your gears more efficiently.
By meticulously recalibrating the software that manages your engine, we can help you unlock additional power (BHP) and torque (NM). Our ECU remapping services also eliminate poor throttle response, remove flat spots, and smooth out power delivery.
This ensures your vehicle operates at peak performance while maintaining reliability. Experience the benefits of an ECU remap today!
MOTOR BIKE TUNING
ECU REMAPS FOR MOTORCYCLES
Modern motorbike manufacturers face challenges due to strict emissions regulations and marketing goals focused on tiered product ranges, often at the expense of peak performance. As a result, many fuel-injected bikes leave the factory with de-tuned engines, utilising software that restricts power output.
The good news? You can remove these limitations and unlock your bike's true potential through ECU remapping, tuning, or flashing. This process involves reconfiguring the ECU's computerised maps to optimise engine performance—tweaking parameters, adjusting torque curves, and enhancing responsiveness.
Think of it as fine-tuning your motorcycle's engine for better power delivery under real-world conditions. Our adjustments can even provide more power at lower revs, a significant advantage for urban riding. Unleash the full capabilities of your bike today!
POPS & BANGS
OPTIMISING ECU FOR ENHANCED EXHAUST SOUNDS
Revamping the ECU in certain petrol vehicles can introduce an exciting feature known as the "pop and bang" or crackle effect, which produces captivating sounds from the exhaust during engine deceleration.
Many automotive manufacturers incorporate this feature into their performance models right from the factory. While it doesn’t enhance engine performance, it certainly delivers a sportier more engaging experience.
Typically, during engine deceleration, fuel injectors are turned off to prevent fuel from entering the combustion chamber. However, when applying a pop and bang patch to the ECU, we instruct the injectors to remain open for a brief moment after the throttle plate closes. Additionally, adjustments to the spark timing maps are made, allowing fuel to ignite well after TDC (Top Dead Centre).
​
This process causes fuel to ignite during the exhaust stroke, leading to mini-explosions within the exhaust system. These mini-explosions create the unique popping and banging noises heard from the vehicle, and occasionally, small flames can be seen shooting from the exhaust tips.
Important Notice: To guarantee safety and peak performance, this feature should exclusively be utilised with vehicles that have been fitted with an enhanced exhaust system, including options like a decat or a metallic structured sports catalytic converter.
DSG TUNING / REMAPPING
DIRECT SHIFT GEARBOX TUNING
Many enthusiasts contend that the DSG gearbox ranks among the best automatic transmissions on the market today. Its remarkable capability to shift gears in milliseconds and anticipate the driver's next action showcases exceptional engineering. However, like all original equipment manufacturer (OEM) systems, it can have its limitations. Our bespoke DSG remap is meticulously designed to remove these limitations and precisely adjust the settings for drivers who value performance above all.
LAUNCH CONTROL
Launch control, available on select models, is designed to help you achieve the perfect launch every time. By utilising this feature, you can significantly reduce your 0-100 time, enhancing both your performance and enjoyment on the road.
FASTER SHIFT SPEEDS
Experience enhanced performance with shift speeds that can increase by up to 20%. This improvement not only reduces lag but also boosts acceleration for a more dynamic driving experience.
Faster shift speeds ensure smoother transitions between gear changes, enhancing paddle shift response time.
INCREASED TORQUE LIMITER IN A DSG
When tuning your vehicle's engine management system, it's common to increase the torque limiters to improve performance. However, if your vehicle has a DSG (Direct Shift Gearbox), the engine output may still be restricted by the torque limiter configured in the DSG module. To optimise performance, we adjust the DSG torque limiter to align with the engine's torque output. This ensures that you can fully utilise your engine's capabilities while maintaining smooth gear shifts and overall vehicle efficiency.
RPM LIMITS & SHIFT SET POINTS
When optimising your vehicle's performance, it's essential to understand that RPM limits and shift set points can be adjusted in both drive and sports modes. However, simply adjusting the RPM limiter during an engine ECU remap isn't sufficient for cars equipped with a DSG (Direct Shift Gearbox).
The DSG ECU plays a crucial role in determining the exact RPM at which gear shifts occur. To achieve optimal performance and responsiveness, it's vital to ensure that both the engine and DSG ECUs are properly calibrated for your driving style.
FULL MANUAL MODE
When using manual mode, the stock DSG software often forces gear changes, whether upshifting or downshifting, which can be frustrating for drivers. However, with our custom DSG remap, you can regain full control over your vehicle's gearbox. Our tailored remapping solution prevents automatic shifts in manual mode, allowing for a more engaging driving experience. Experience the difference with our model-specific DSG remap today!
ECU RECOVERY / UNBRICK
WHAT IS ECU RECOVERY & UNBRICKING?
ECU recovery refers to the process of restoring an electronic control unit (ECU) to a functional state after a fault or failure. This can occur due to various reasons, such as power loss during a software update or incorrect modifications that can corrupt the ECU's firmware. Using specialised diagnostic tools and software, technicians can often re-establish communication with the ECU, allowing them to reflash or upload a new firmware version to restore its functionality.
Unbricking, on the other hand, is a more specific subset of ECU recovery. It involves reviving an ECU that has become "bricked," meaning it no longer operates or communicates due to severe corruption of its software. This typically requires advanced techniques, such as using bootloader modes, to bypass the fail-safe mechanisms and restore the original firmware. Both processes are essential for ensuring the longevity and performance of modern vehicles, particularly those with complex engine management systems.
To address these issues, we have developed a comprehensive databank filled with protocols and EEPROM configurations for a wide range of ECUs, and our collection is continually expanding. Additionally, we offer state-of-the-art bench flashing equipment that allows us to recover and bench test your ECU, often without the need to reprogram any other components in your vehicle.
Our goal is to stay ahead of the curve in tuning with our robust solutions and expert support!
The good news, while there may be some downtime, the duration really depends on your location. If you're in Sydney, AUS, it could be as quick as an hour or two! For others, it might take 2-3 weeks depending on shipping times.
We get really excited when we receive the ECU because it means another opportunity to bring it back to life!
We appreciate your patience and understand the challenges of having a car out of commission, but our utmost goal is getting your car back on the road!
