Earlier, to increase the power of the motor, the car mechanically improved the engine, and in some cases, and transmission. However, at the end of the last century, car owners have the opportunity to upgrade the dynamic characteristics of the vehicle using chip tuning (adjustment of the operation of electronic controllers of the motor to increase its power) without damage to the inner knots of the car. In this article, we will consider all the advantages and disadvantages of this method.

Chip tuning what it is

Chip tuning is reprogramming the electronic motor control unit of the vehicle. This is necessary to improve the characteristics of the car settings. Chip tuning does not require changes from the mechanical or technological side. In this case, you should only make some work with the motor ECU.

With the help of chip tuning, the car owner can change the volume of fuel, injected into the motor, pressure pressure, enrichment of the working mixture and the ignition angle. For a motor chip-tuning, a long time is not required, an experienced specialist produces such work within an hour.

Most often chip tuning makes it to increase the power of the motor and reduce the fuel consumption. It is performed for any injection engines. In the form of an exception, some Japanese production units can be noted. To speak as a whole, there is no difference between the chip-tuning of a foreign or domestic car.

This process can be made on motorcycles, yachts, boats and modern tractors with ECU. After chip tuning, the motor increases the power supply. It activates the hidden potential of the car engine. Also, with the help of chip tuning, the motor is corrected. Chip tuning implies the adjustment of the chip, due to which there is a modification and update of the information base of the car. They are stored in three-dimensional and two-dimensional tables. As a result, a special position is distinguished by the motor control units. The number of tables in them sometimes does not coincide, which indicates different manufacturers. Special software makes it possible to change information in electronic transport systems.

Modern cars are equipped with a special OBD port, which makes it possible to make changes to the ECU without removing. On some cars, on the contrary, there is an opportunity to adjust information only by seizure chip. This event must implement a highly qualified master. However, no matter how it was not produced, the result will be excellent. Do not contact the companies with a dubious reputation. Insufficient qualification of the wizard can fail the computer. Sometimes the firmware is wrong. Automaster drives the car to a special stand and through a special program carry out the correction of factory settings. However, not all workers are known that in the vehicle there can be several closely related blocks, and if changes have occurred in one, then all others should also occur.

Engine power, how to enlarge it

Depending on the brand and type of car, as well as a variety of motor, a modern chip tuning makes it possible to add 3 to 30 percent of the motor's power. There is an erroneous opinion that with the help of the engine chip-tuning, you can add up to 50 percent of power and more, but this is just a common myth.

Just imagine any automotive companies spend billions of dollars to create cars. Naturally, if they had the opportunity to easily and without damage, the automotive elements significantly add power, they would have done it. However, even if you do this in some way, then such a chip tuning with one hundred percent probability will quickly dissemble the motor or transmission.

Traditionally, the mass of manufacturers intentionally configures the software of the motor, which up to ten percent reduces the power of the car, which makes it possible to reduce the level of emission of spent gases from the exhaust system. This allows without significant technology upgrades to sum up the car model under the established environmental standard. With the help of chip tuning, conventional diesel and gasoline engines, as a rule, can be added 3-7 percent of the power, and the turbocharger engines are 7-30 percent. It is worth noting that in a variety of cases, the increase in power is significantly different from the promised. At modern car market, such services provides a mass of various companies, but their quality leaves much to be desired.

Engine tuning chip, as reflected on fuel consumption

Do not believe that after chip tuning, fuel consumption will significantly decrease. Undoubtedly, it is possible to achieve a decrease in consumption by a fuel car possible, however, as a rule, to minimal values \u200b\u200bthat are not able to save big money. The point is that a large number of external factors have a large number of external factors, for example, an aggressive ride manner, in which the fuel consumption will be more significant. In addition, an increase in the fuel consumption of the motor can not only change the ride style, but also a change in refueling or type of gasoline refueling, as well as, poorly conducted chip tuning.

Engine tuning chip, how to increase efficiency

There are several methods for increasing the efficiency of the motor without interference in its design and work:

1. Increase the main fuel pressure.
2. Reduce air resistance supplied to the motor.
3. Reduce resistance in the exhaust system.
   
4. Optimize the turbine and increase the pressure from the supervision.
5. Directly chip tuning itself.

Of all the above-described methods, chip tuning seems the easiest way. Experts pre-conduct the necessary calculations and know which result should turn out. This is done using a special calculation technique.

It turns out that modern calculations of the DVS are based on generally accepted measurements of the laws of thermodynamics. No less important laws of mechanics, while not taken into account. For example, an increase in motor power is possible with increasing its effective efficiency.

Engine tuning chip, why does not make chip tuning factory car manufacturer

The wishes of the car owners to achieve better power and performance very often lead to the fact that the motor is equipped with superchargers, turbines and other things. Chip tuning is an excellent way to maximize the performance of the motor.

Motor modifications began to do immediately after the first serial car market appeared. The key task that has been solved was based on increasing engine performance. Over the last twenty years of production technology, motors stepped far ahead. Electronic ignition systems, direct injection systems and electronic injection systems gave opportunities even from small engines to get such power that previously the developers could not even dream. To date, all motor parameters are controlled and adjustable by the motor control unit. The programs that are sewn into it, control the ignition in the cylinders, the compressor, the injection air, fuel supply and many others to obtain the maximum return from the motor. But manufacturers are forced to compromise between performance and factors:

1. Differences in the preparation and styles of driving motorists.
2. Differences in service.
3. Different climatic conditions in various regions - non-promotional cold and emergency heat.
4. Various fuel quality in different countries.
   
5. Harmful emissions when using poor-quality fuels.
6. Different restrictions in various countries for emissions of exhaust gases.
7. In some countries (in the priority of Europe), insurance and taxes are highly dependent on the power of the car.

At the moment, chip tuning is determined as the optimization of the factory motor control program. All manufacturers of serial cars make factory firmware in such a way as to consider all the factors listed above with a fairly wide tolerance range. The motor must withstand simultaneously influence, for example, late maintenance, inexperienced driver, low temperature, low-quality lubricants and fuel. Therefore, a specialist using chip tuning can improve the efficiency and performance of the motor, optimizing and balancing the operation of different components of the motor in the complex, making it much better than possible in serial production.

High-quality chip tuning, is done only with the use of high-quality special equipment

It is worth noting that the quality of the motor chip-tuning depends not only on the qualification of a specialist, but also from the quality of the equipment used. Through a special connector, a computer is connected to the computer. Through a special program, the user has the ability to manage system settings. Next, the firmware procedure and synchronization of information from the device are performed. You must know exactly which changes will be produced. Then there is a new program recording procedure. Upon completion, you should check the operation of vehicles.

Costs and guarantees

The cost of chip tuning is completely dependent on the vehicle brand. No less important year of release, motor characteristics and car model name. One of the most important factors affecting the price is a person producing firmware. This can be anyone - dealership, workshop, car service or private employee.

As a rule, the cost varies within 2000 - 10,000 rubles. It is important to understand that the price does not mean the high quality of the procedure. Very often self-taught masters are able to perform the work much better than the employees of the dealer center. However, not everyone has expensive and good equipment, which affects the cost.

As a rule, specialized auto repair shops give a guarantee for their work, however, to prove that chip tuning was made poorly, for example, if after the firmware increases the fuel consumption, it is in fact it impossible.

Carburetor engines, how to improve their work

1. Installation of the straight-flow system of the exhaust.
2. Reducing the weight of working parts.
3. Tuning gas distribution system.
   
4. Installation of the air filter of zero resistance.

Chip Tuning Engine, Advantage

1. Increase the power of the motor.
2. Increasing acceleration, which has a positive effect on the movement along the loaded tracks.
3. Increasing traction and speed indicators, resulting in controlling the car becomes easier.
4. Chip tuning is carried out quite quickly, which wins in front of modernization and forcing.
5. If the car is heavily loaded and the movement is accompanied by the included air conditioning, the ease of movement will become a little more noticeable.
6. Make it cheaper and easier as a result of lack of need to make structural changes in the engine.
7. It is possible to cancel chip tuning by returning to factory settings. In particular, this is relevant in the presence of bad consequences.
8. Chip tuning produces a variety of changes under the individual driving style of the car owner. ECU can be adapted to how fast ride and to the economy regime. Combined settings are particularly popular.
   
9. It is also possible to adapt the car under the additional units installed on the motor and nodes - special settings are made, providing the optimal work of the car as a whole.
10. This procedure gives the car the opportunity to function easily with a specific combustible. Such an opportunity provides the car with the hidden potential of the motor.

Chip Tuning Engine, Disadvantages

1. With an unsuccessful chip tuning, there is a risk of increasing the fuel consumption for almost twenty percent.
   
2. Minor deterioration in the working resource of the car engine elements. Approximately this indicator is three or four percent.
3. With the unprofessional holding chip tuning, the ECU may incorrectly work, and in the worst case, and in order to fail.
4. Rare, but still a possible phenomenon - as a result of a failure to the ECU, some available programs are started to work incorrectly, which can lead to disastrous consequences.

Tips Profi, making chip tuning engine or not

To date, chip tuning performs many car manufacturers. So now this event is official. It is best to do it wherever you can be confident in the professionalism of the master and the quality of the work done. In the case of chim tuning, no money should be saved, however, it is also not always rationally overpay.

If you decide to independently do these work, it is advisable to consult a specialist, since the wrong settings are able to lead to a vehicle breakdown. If possible, buy special professional equipment that does not require special skills.
