Car Tuning Services, Accessories and Softwares

• Wideband AFR Meter: Referred as wideband air fuel ratio meter, it is one of the important tools used if you are trying your hands to tune your car. Using this tool ensures that accurate level of fuel that is compatible to air flow is being transmitted to the engine. There are basically two types of wideband air fuel meters namely permanent and portable. Anyhow whatever type of meter you are using for your car, the only thing that you should keep in concern is to configure the wideband meter close to either engine control unit or to the dashboard so that you can easily analyze the ratio of fuel and air to the engine by parking your car at some safe place.
• Digital voltmeter: Voltmeter is one of the commonly used tools while tuning the car and an interesting fact about voltmeter is that to learn its operation you need not have to be much skillful as you would have used the same during your school days. Digital voltmeter is helpful in measuring the voltage and flow of current through different circuits. It also helps in detecting any issue taking place in the wiring system of the car.  
• Dynamometers: Tuning dyno is one of the simplest methods of tuning any type of car whether it is configured with petrol engine or diesel engine. Use of dynamometers facilitates the car to run safely on determined parameters and driving car beyond those parameters aborts the driving. The worth mentioning benefit of using dyno is that protects you from any type of personal damage that can harm you while tuning your car.
• Oscilloscope: The use of voltmeter is helpful in tracking the flow of current through different circuits under the bonnet, Oscilloscope is helpful in tracking the time required by current to reach from one circuit to another. An interesting feature of this tool is that although it is not used every time but when there is need of using it, no other tool can replace its functioning.

1. Control on Fuel Consumption: Days have gone back when chip tuning was mainly constrained to enhancement of power. But, going through the increasing concern of fuel efficient vehicles and technical developments, today apart from enhancing the power with help of tuning, it is helpful in improving the fuel economy of vehicle depending upon the specified parameters for it. So, now whether you drive a vehicle running of fossil fuel or gasoline you will notice economy in the fuel consumption figures.
   
2. Economical Options of Engine Remapping: This might surprise but there are plethora of cost effective methods which could help in enhancing the power generation and fuel efficiency figures of your vehicle. For you the exhaust system of your car is the only component that is used for exhausting hazardous gases from engine, but as the time passes the working efficiency of exhaust pipe diminishes and results in less power generation and fuel efficiency. Upgrading the exhaust system with powerful system can help in catering the issues related with the performance of your car.
   
   
   
3. Improved Horsepower: The engine control unit installed in your vehicle is embellished with pre-determined settings that look after the performance of various components linked with it. The remapping of ECU re-writes the overall settings of all interlinked components depending upon the requirements of the car owner.
   
4. The Components are Tuned to Meet Your Driving Preferences: As a general practice the settings of different components installed in your car are determined according to driving conditions of your region. But, in case if you are not satisfied the standard settings of your vehicle then depending upon your requirements you can get these settings re-written according to your preferences that compatible to driving conditions of your region.
   
5. Affecting Factors to ECU: Undoubtedly, ECU remapping results in enhancing the power, torque and fuel efficiency figures of your vehicle. But, to enjoy the overall benefits of ECU remapping to its full extent it is imperative that you should also pay attention towards the functioning of various factors which jointly affect the performance of your vehicle. These items upgrading the brakes, suspension system, ignition timing, acceleration system and many more.

If you own an old car and planning to remap its engine control (ECU) unit for boosting its performance then your decision is undoubtedly a viable decision. But, what about the car enthusiasts who get the ECU remap of their new car to enjoy its hidden powers, this might surprise to most of the readers but it is the true. It would be interested to know that despite of the fact that driving a new car from the showroom in it-self is a proud moment for car lovers and no car lover would ever like to get the machinery of his car get opened by the mechanic until unless it is not indispensable to get any issue rectified.

Surprisingly, today going through the vast technical developments and increasing use of computers in our day to day life activities, performance of different mechanical parts can be enhanced with help of chip tuning. With changing time and use of computers, car manufactured today are becoming electrical machines rather than mechanical machines. This transition in the car mechanism has resulted in use of computer software that helpful in determining the performance parameters of the different machines integrated under the bonnet of your beloved car.


As mentioned above, cars manufactured today are embellished with Engine Control Unit which is maintained with help of software determining the standards of fuel efficiency and ignition timing. Use of these performance tuning software, rewrites the program mentioned in ECU resulting in improved fuel efficiency and additional power generation efficiency.

Reasons for using chip tuning software for boosting the power of your vehicle:
You will be surprised to know that car manufacturers across the world do not equip the vehicles manufactured by them with auto-chip tuning software, this is mainly because of few reasons. The utmost reason behind this discrimination is their own standards which they have to keep in concern before launching the new vehicle in any country throughout the world. Because, there are different laws applicable in different countries regarding use of fuel quality and level of emissions control in different countries. Another reason is remapping the engine control unit might affect the insurance coverage on the vehicle, although chances of any change in the insurance policy are almost nil in all the countries.

Another reason might be update of software. May be as you have got your car serviced at regular interval due to which you did not faced any problem in driving it, despite of diversified driving conditions. But, going through this you had not paid any attention towards upgrading the software installed in your car due to which you have not able to enjoy the actual benefits from your car which you could have enjoyed by upgrading the software.



Therefore to enjoy the true value of your car, it would be better to get your car to any of the experienced mechanic in your city and get its working efficiency optimized to enjoy more benefits from it. Now days there are various groups which offer user friendly tuning software which can be used easily, by a person with standard knowledge about working on computers by linking his computer with essential components of engine for rewriting the drivability program of his car.

How do the chip tuning software works?
The chip used for rewriting the software is developed from silicon ultra violet light that is used for deleting the standard memory that is received from device used for emitting mercury vapor light. The chip erases the existing data and configures the data stored in it into engine control unit. The new data eliminates the set up standards that are determined for fuel injection of timing of valves.

Benefits: The benefits of using tuning software can be summarized as follows:

1. Enhances the performance of vehicles. Moreover as there are different activities performed during the course of re-tuning, the performance of various other parts also improvises.
2. The vehicle is enriched with additional power with chip tuning, which facilitates it to diversified driving challenges under extreme conditions.
3. The cost of labor on repairing defective parts also decreases.

Conclusion: In simple words, it can be said that with help of chip tuning you are in position of enjoying the hidden drivability features of your car that you had not been able to enjoy due to lack of your mechanical knowledge.
