The potential improvements from having your car or 4X4’s ECU remapped are many and varied – particularly if you entrust the job to an industry expert like Auckland-based NZ Performance.
Most manufacturers calibrate their ECUs to optimum emissions, fuel economy, component longevity and safety which limits performance.
It is also logistically simpler and more cost-effective for car manufacturers to produce as few region-specific model variants as possible. Therefore, one engine management map is developed with the necessary flexibility to cope with all these limiting constraints. Thus, the ‘one-size-fits-all’ map that is conservative enough to cope with running various octane fuels, potentially at a high altitude and in massively varying temperatures is used.
The potential improvements from having your ECU remapped are often impressive with a better power spread across the rev range, higher peak torque, increased power at lower engine speeds, better throttle response, quieter and smoother idle and cruising and increased rev and/or speed limit, etc.
Perhaps paradoxically, a performance tune can return increased fuel economy for both petrol and diesel engines. Not only do we see a better driving experience , there really is no down side.
NZ Performance Tuning is not just “another tuning outfit”. Having been tuning in New Zealand for the past 14 years, they have tuning solutions developed over a long period of time and with huge numbers of completed tunes the offer some of the very best available in the world today.
Dave, one of the owners of the company, was involved in the very first tuning of Toyota Hilux and Land Cruisers in the world. Much of that work was done right here in New Zealand. Back in 2011, he was also involved in the very first tuning of the VW Amarok in conjunction with tuning-tool developers in Europe.
Not satisfied with just covering off world-firsts in 4WD tuning, he was also instrumental in the development of agricultural tuning, once again in a world first, tuning the first John Deere tractor via its diagnostic port, right here in Auckland.
Experience counts for a lot in the tuning industry , and these guys have it in spades.
NZ Performance Tuning gives you the choice of the level of tune you want. Be it performance or economy tuning, they have the ability to create tuning to meet your exact requirements.
It’s not just tuning that New Zealand Performance Tuning can offer. The country’s largest range of exhaust components for European and 4WD vehicles lives here as well as intake systems and other performance parts.
