UNLOCK THE FULL POTENTIAL OF YOUR VEHICLE
Premier Autotune has built a reputation as a premier and trusted mechanic and dealership expert for European car owners. We are excited to now be able to offer Performance Tuning services directly to you to get the very best performance from your vehicle.
Manufacturers design and build their vehicles for a global market. Due to this, they must meet a wide range of fuel and emissions standards and they also need to take into account altitudes and climates. These are known as generic files. Luckily for us, there is plenty of room to move under European and Australian tolerances.
We take this initial mapping and alter the ECU software to safely gain power and torque, giving improved driveability and, in most cases, better fuel economy.
More power, greater torque, superb mid-range punch, stronger acceleration and quicker responses: you’ll love the new characteristics we will give your car.
We work closely with top brands from around the world to offer our customers the very best when it comes to Upgrades in parts for your vehicle.
What is Performance Tuning?
Performance Tuning is a software upgrade made to your vehicle to improve performance, economy and driveability. All vehicles have different performance improvements. Please check your vehicle on our website or give us a call on 0491 862 621 to check your vehicle’s performance improvements!
How does the tuning procedure work?
When we carry out performance tuning on a vehicle, we extract the current mapping data from the vehicle’s ECU (engine control unit), either through the vehicle’s OBD socket or by physically removing the ECU.
This map is then modified on a Hexadecimal level, breaking the code into different map tables, such as injection timing, ignition timing, boost pressure, torque limitations and throttle response just to name a few. Once the modified file is complete, we then load the software back into your vehicle. READY FOR YOU TO FEEL THE DIFFERENCE!
What are the benefits of performance tuning?
Increased performance, torque, throttle response and fuel economy!
We’ve had superb results across a wide range of vehicles, typically resulting in 20%-30% more power for most vehicles.
Why don't the manufacturers release the vehicles with higher power to start with?
Manufacturers design and build their vehicles for a global market. Due to global benchmarks, they must meet a wide range of fuel and emissions standards. They also need to take into account differing altitudes, climates, fuel grades etc.
Luckily for us, there is plenty of room to move under European and Australian tolerances, which allows us to extract more performance from the vehicles whilst still being within the components’ maximum tolerances.
What vehicles can have a performance tune?
Premier Autotune can carry out performance tuning to most of the vehicles in today’s market.
Please check our website or call us on 0491 862 621 if you are still unsure.
Can I return my vehicle back to standard at a later date if I want to?
We always keep a secured version of your vehicle’s original file as a backup. Should you need to, we can replace the tuned file back to standard at reduced cost, BUT TRUST US YOU WILL NOT WANT TO!
Will Chip Tuning increase my fuel consumption?
The simple answer is no; in fact, quite the opposite!
We tend to see improved fuel economy in vehicles we have tuned, particularly turbo and diesel motors which can see up to a 2-3L/100km improvement. Why is this you ask?
Simple - the increase in torque output tends to mean you do not need as much throttle as originally required to reach a determined speed. For example, to get to 60km/h in 100m may have required 50% throttle in stock trim previously. After the tune, you would only require 30-40% throttle to achieve the same result.
Where can you carry out the performance tuning?
We can carry out the work at our own workshop. This requires the vehicle to be left with us, as it can take a few hours to complete the performance tuning.
Will the software impact my new car Warranty?
The short answer is yes, it will; but this does not mean that they can disregard the entire warranty.
The official line from most manufacturers is that if a modification causes a problem with the vehicle, then that part of the vehicle affected will not be covered. If, for example, your vehicle’s central locking system failed, they would not be able to void the warranty because of the performance tune.
