The purpose of undertaking chip tuning for your vehicle is to maximise on the performance and efficiency of your car’s engine. By correctly undertaking the chip tuning exercise, the owner can remove many of the compromises that car manufacturers have built into their vehicles, most notably for safety and speed limiter purposes. Many manufacturers also compromise their vehicles to ensure that these vehicles could cover possible usage of sub standard fuels or lower grade octane fuels, as well as engine neglect arising from irregular servicing. Certain manufacturers also limit the engine power for no other reason than to simply ensure that the vehicle being sold fits into a particular class and is purchased by a certain segment of the market. Many consumers can benefit from the hidden power and torque that was previously restricted by the engine management system. The purpose of chip tuning is to ensure that the true potential of the vehicle is unlocked and made available to the car enthusiast. In fact, normally aspirated engines can benefit by up to 15% more power and torque by careful chip tuning and programming of various engine parameters. The ignition and fuel curves are normally fine tuned to allow for better power output and increased torque. After chip tuning, vehicles should be fully tested before being allowed back on the road, just to ensure that the driver is satisfied with the engine management changes that have been applied. If you are looking for increased power and output from your vehicle, we suggest you investigate chip tuning and get the maximum out of your car.
