About Chiptuning

What is chip tuning? 

A modern engine simply cannot operate without an even and continuous electronic control provided by the engine control unit (ECU). This controller is a microcomputer. Its internal memory contains programs controlling the engine and parameter tables that are used during engine operation. Depending on the signals submitted by the sensors from different system units, a program is installed which, again, is controlled by the microcontroller. It calculates the most optimal fuel injection and installation settings, which has a final affect on engine power, fuel consumption and dynamics. Chip tuning is an injection controller reprogramming procedure which enables change (increase/decrease) car power and torque parameters. 

Why is chip tuning necessary? 

Factories (manufacturers) program engine controllers in a way that would enable them to decrease the parameters in certain areas, which are relevant when competing with other manufacturers (e.g., CO2 or fuel consumption). In other words, torque is artificially decreased in order to prolong engine life. Or the engine’s power is limited, to an increased speed, in order for the car to remain maximally safe. Of course, such limitations are logical and based on a number of arguments, however most car owners still decide to perform certain modifications that would increase the car’s dynamics and decrease fuel consumption. 

‍Precise engine control unit settings 

It should be immediately noted that this process requires careful and responsible work. If chip tuning is performed by novices, then the technical parameters of your car will not change, at best. In the worst-case scenario, the engine will start to operate unevenly, you will feel waves of decreased power and torque indicators will worsen. Even if the power increases, this may be the result of the fact that engine resources were significantly reduced, thus fuel consumption will jump up. We will perform high quality and a truly professional chip tuning at Morendi. 

Our team consists of top quality programmers and specialists who are familiar with all the subtleties of petrol and diesel engine coding and repairs. 

Parameters that will change if control unit works are performed correctly:

• Improvement in acceleration dynamics at low and medium speed; 
• Stabilization of engine operation while idle;
• Cooling system optimization;
• Optimization of engine operation when the engine is cold. 

Chip tuning features and price

After the chip tuning work is completed, the performance indicators of various engines change differently. For some manufacturers' engines, a wide range of parameter changes is allowed, while for engines from other manufacturers, only minor changes are permitted. A preliminary price estimate for chip tuning a vehicle can be obtained on the Online Configurator page.
