Definition Chip Tuning

Nowadays, the performance of engines is no longer through the modification of mechanical parts, such as increased bigger valves or other injection. Each engine is equipped with an electronic control unit. In the control device is a memory chip on which all the relevant parameters are stored to the engine controller. These include, inter alia, the injection quantity and the injection timing of the fuel. These are not fixed values, but maps. In all major parts of the engine are sensors that measure the current state of several times per second. This data is then sent to the engine control unit. Based on the stored characteristic fields then the settings will be changed in real time.

The performance of the engine with chip tuning increase

The parameters that are stored in the memory chip, can be modified later. And of course, a corresponding computer is required, the procedures can be performed in the software of the engine. The individual parameters are then changed to the extent that the motor can produce more power. The extra power can sometimes be 30 to 40%. Simultaneously in the torque is increased. The chip tuning can even lead to lower fuel consumption, since the power is optimized. The chip tuning is so easy because many engine manufacturers offer cost reasons identical engines with varying benefits. The performance is still only regulated by the engine control unit. This actually every series engine still has some power in reserve. Can most effectively be used in the chip tuning diesel engines with turbochargers.

To get more power from the engine, but it must not in any case a workshop should be consulted. There are also other possibilities. The chip tuning can even be performed by any vehicle owner himself. Meanwhile, there are a number of providers, the finished kits to Chiptuning offer. These consist of a separate box, in which there is a memory chip with optimized parameters for the engine. In general, all materials are included for installation.

Neither particular expertise in automotive electronics or special tools are required. For example, when Chiptuning Racechip.de also equal the appropriate adapter included. Video tutorials on the net are also available in which the installation is explained. The installation usually takes less than 5 minutes. No further modifications or adjustments are required. The increased engine power can be used immediately.
