No. Our process is completely non-intrusive and does not require any hardware installation. The device simply plugs into the OBD port to flash the ECU.

Absolutely not. Once the flashing process has finished, you can unplug the device and keep in your glove compartment.

A dyno tune is custom-made for your specific vehicle, allowing a skilled tuner to extract the maximum potential power from your engine while pushing the safety limits of your vehicle. Our map profiles, however, are designed with a broader approach. We consider the average safety thresholds of engine components, the impact of aging on these parts, and the typical usage patterns of most users. As a result, our profiles are more conservative in terms of power gains, focusing instead on enhancing the smoothness and responsiveness of everyday driving.

From our experience, we’ve found that the majority of owners are less concerned with achieving peak power and more interested in the overall driving experience and characteristics.

We develop our tunes in-house and do not outsource it from third parties. We have our own test vehicle (Pajero Gen 4) that we continuously use as an R&D test mule to test out revisions and improvements to our maps.

The power gains we’ve discussed are based on calculated estimates. These calculations are derived from the manufacturer’s published power output and other factors such as fuel injection quantities, air flow, etc. Essentially, they represent the ‘Potential Power’ that could be achieved if the engine operates as intended. It’s important to note that most dynamometers measure power at the wheels or the hub, making it challenging to obtain exact power figures without relying on calculations.

Moreover, while dynos are effective for measuring peak power, we’ve found that they don’t always provide the most relevant data for mapping a daily driven vehicle. That’s why we primarily conduct our tests using telemetry tools. These tools measure real-world performance metrics like 0-50kph/0-100kph acceleration times and rolling pulls from 40-120kph. Such tests simulate actual driving scenarios, giving us more practical and applicable data for everyday use.

Certainly! Our tuning package is designed to cater to a wide range of vehicles, including those with high mileage like yours. With over 400,000+ kms, your vehicle has certainly been through a lot, and our tuning profiles take this into consideration.

For high mileage vehicles, we recommend starting with our milder tuning profiles. These are designed to provide a boost in performance without overstraining your engine. Our Mild Profile with DPF/EGR Modifications, for instance, would be a great starting point. It offers enhanced efficiency and reduced maintenance needs while maintaining the engine’s integrity.

It’s important to ensure that your vehicle is well-maintained and in good working order before applying any tuning modifications. Regular checks and upkeep of critical components like the fuel injectors, turbo, and engine health are essential, especially for a high-mileage vehicle.

Remember, our goal is to enhance your driving experience while prioritizing the safety and longevity of your engine. If you have any specific concerns or questions about how our tuning package might interact with your high-mileage vehicle, feel free to reach out for more personalized advice.

No, our tuning kit is quite different from a tuning box. A tuning box is a piggy-back system that manipulates the data sent to and from your vehicle’s ECU (Engine Control Unit). It essentially tricks the ECU into thinking that certain components are underperforming, prompting them to work harder to meet the pre-set parameters.

In contrast, our tuning kit involves directly remapping the ECU. This method allows for precise adjustments to engine parameters like fuel injection, timing, and air intake, leading to a more integrated and efficient tuning process. Unlike the tuning box’s generic approach, our kit offers a tailored tuning experience, adjusting settings based on specific vehicle models, driving conditions, and individual preferences.

While both systems aim to enhance vehicle performance, our tuning kit provides a more sophisticated, integrated, and customizable approach compared to the simpler, one-size-fits-all method of tuning boxes.

Absolutely! If you’re looking to go beyond the power levels offered by our current tuning kit, we can certainly accommodate that. We offer a custom add-on service tailored specifically to your vehicle. This process, however, involves detailed datalogging and will require multiple revisions to fine-tune the settings perfectly.

You have the option of conducting this tuning either on a dynamometer, which provides precise and controlled conditions, or through comprehensive road tuning for a more real-world performance assessment. It’s important to note that with this custom tuning, we’ll be pushing your engine closer to its limits, making thorough and accurate datalogging crucial to ensure both performance gains and engine safety.

If you’re interested in exploring this custom tuning option, please get in touch with us. We’re here to work closely with you to achieve the specific power enhancements you’re looking for, while maintaining the integrity and longevity of your vehicle’s engine.
