Technical information & FAQ
The frequently asked question why we offer no Tuningkit for some motor variants, can be answered very simply. We dissociate us very deliberately by suppliers and contenders, that bring performance improvements against better knowledge to market, whose functionality and mode of operation friendly said can be characterised as "disputed". Hardly noticeable increased efficiency, motor control lamp, interferences in the emission control system and dry-running operation problem are adequate for us in contrast of many competitors to abdicate on the sale of such matured products.
A further be named discussed subject is the technical control board problem and the expertise problem. Some suppliers like to show off as the lawyer of the customer and dispense disputed references and recommendations. A part certificate is no license for the road traffic. As far as the appraised increased efficiency becomes exceeded (test report ZDF counselor in TV and print media) are also such entries totally ineffectual. Gladly is concealed also that the entry into the vehicle papers leads to the loss of the manufacturer's guarantee, because this point of attack remains rarely unused of the manufacturers and contract dealers - full-bodied promises in the matter of "acceptance of the manufacturer's guarantee" are very often looking very different in the small print.
There's and end of it!
We assess clear announcements and don't want to be involved in the deception of customers.
Don't let yourself unsettled of supposed clever advice of some competitors, for "well meant" is just not competent advice!
Questions and answers for diesel tuning
Is the service-life of the engine influenced decisively?
By the installation of a performance improver (D-Kit) the engine is not over-loaded beyond its capacity limit. The protection and diagnostic functions of the control unit from the manufacture remain fully unchanged. The oil temperature rises only slightly even at full capacity.
How is the increased performance noticeable?
The resulting acceleration and elasticity changes are clearly noticeable. You will already feels a better dynamic of the engine in lower rpm. Depending on the vehicle, the maximum speed will increase around 0-20 km/H.
Does the tuning work also with Tiptronic or automatic system transmissions?
Yes, without problems. We take the corresponding parameters and design into account (depending on the motor vehicle) during the programming of our D-Kits.
Is the consumption also increased by the increased performance?
By the increased torque, the engine becomes more elastic, e.g. can therefore be driven with less changing of gears in city traffic. A consumption reduction of up to 15% is definitely realistic with the same style of driving as before the tuning process.
Does it pass the AU?
Yes, the exhaust values are adhered to with our D - Kits. The particle emission value is only slightly worse than the normal series vehicle.
Is the change recognizable from the outside?
No, but the performance is measurable on the test course. It also isn’t possible to recognize the increase of performance through the diagnostics connection.
Do the maintenance intervals of the motor vehicle change?
No, the specified intervals of the vehicle manufacturer are still authoritative.
Can I carry out the installation myself?
This is fundamental feasible. However, we recommend to have the installation carried out directly by us or a automotive garage. Our technical hotline is at your disposal for questions or installation problems. If additional guarantees are made for the engine and transmission, the installation must be carried out by us or one of our service partners.
Is the tuning process reversible (removable)?
Yes, our D - Kits can be removed again without recognizable manipulation within a short time. The motor vehicle is afterwards in the standard series condition again i.e. the previous tuning process is also no longer apparent. In addition to this, you can install our D-Kit in vehicles with same injection system again. Of course, this is also a cost-savings with regard to possible vehicle changes.
Pros & Cons - Additional control unit or setting change by Eprom?
Admittedly a tiresome topic - everybody finds the better argument for his product. The fact is, however, both types of tuning are effective, if the supplier installs a proven product. The advantage of the additional control unit lies essentially in an attractive price, flexible use (for example by a vehicle change) and the time and cost-effective installation or removal. With a change in the parameters a modification of the control unit is inevitable (whereas we can program undetected almost all vehicles through the diagnostics conection !!).
Is there a guarantee?
We grant a 24 months guarantee on our D-Kits (control unit incl. the cable connections). This guarantee is limited to the exchange of faulty components or complete D-Kits. Depending on the motor vehicle type, age and engine performance, up to a 24 month guarantee for engine and transmission is possible. We offer additional guarantees both for new cars and for second-hand vehicles. We would like to inform you about the different guarantee possibilities upon enquiry.
