Operation of the internal combustion engine is dependent on three main factors: the amount of fuel, the amount of oxygen and ignition timing. These three need to work together and complement each other in order for the engine to perform as it should and their cooperation is controlled by the electronic engine management system. It adjusts each of these factors to make them complement each other and also sets up a number of filters and limiters in order to get the right information and ensure safety and reliability. What we do with your engine is improve the combustion process and thus make the engine more efficient. All of the modifications we perform are based on real time measurements, meticulous calculations and numerous tests and data logging which means we do not guess anything or gamble by increasing the values of the turbo pressure, or injection. While performing modifications, we follow the OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) architecture and keep the same level of quality and reliability while ensuring better performance. After Tuningbot tuning modifications your engine will have more horsepower and more torque and you will notice this as soon as you drive out of our workshop. The increased amount of torque results in noticeably higher efficiency and smoother ride in everyday conditions.

Air/Fuel Ratio / Lambda

The correct ratio in the air and fuel mixture is always measured before tuning. After that we modify the values and perform additional measurements with our data logging equipment to make sure that the proportions of air and fuel are perfect. A deviating lambda value coming from a mechanical problem on a particular car, or a mistake in remapping itself can have disastrous consequences.

Intake Air Temperature

During data logging we measure the air intake temperature. This is one of the ways to verify that our modification is safe for your engine. Some customers have even had higher performing aftermarket intake air filters installed in the wrong place, thus feeding the engine with the air that is hotter than it should be and causing dramatic performance drops and unreasonably and dangerously high temperatures inside the engine.

Oil / Fuel / Coolant temperatures

Having these temperatures at their optimal levels is another sign that our modifications are safe for your car. This is why these are measured during data logging.

Optimizing ignition timing for gasoline engines

When tuning gasoline engines, in addition to increasing the turbo pressure and injection, we also adjust the ignition by advancing it or retarding it, as necessary. The changes we make during tuning considerably affect combustion and this calls for an adjustment in ignition timing. The results of proper ignition timing are more efficient combustion and more power and torque. This optimization also benefits the exhaust system and turbocharger and controls the explosions inside the engine. Inefficient combustion is the prime cause of engine damage on gasoline engines. This is why we make sure that we modify the ignition timing and make it perfect by checking the engine operation numerous times during our data logs.
