A good quality tune is much cheaper than a blown up engine with no warranty!
ECU remapping, or “tuning” simply put is the updating, replacement or modification of the information/files inside a vehicles engine computer.
BUT it’s how you do it that makes the difference between a tune and a “good tune”.
Not all tunes are the same.
You might be surprised to find that some businesses, and probably more than you think, are offering an ECU remap, but are actually only downloading a “tuned” file from the internet and transferring that file to your car.
The problem with this is the file almost always, is written off-shore, not in Australia. The files have been written in another country, not using our fuel, our cars, or in our conditions, and some of these countries don’t tow caravans up hills like we have. SO, how can these tuned files work effectively in our 4WD’s?… They can’t!
The difference is in “who” writes these files.
All our tuned files are written, tried and tested right here in Brisbane. Our tunes are written, and then tested for our conditions, so we know you can safely tow a caravan in summer, up over the gap, or the Toowoomba range. We know you will be right, crossing the Simpson Desert or going up the Telegraph track. We know you will have the maximum low down, mid-range torque for towing and 4WD-ing. We know our tunes are with-in the safety limits of a 4 wheel drive and its computer. We know our tunes are reliable, and that’s why we give you an industry leading, 5 year nationwide warranty.
So if you’re in the market for an ECU Remap, make sure you ask all the right questions to find out who is writing your tune. And ask about your warranty.
There are some people offering cheap tunes with lesser warranties, there are even some who offer to sell you a warranty. Don’t settle for less, and don’t buy because it’s cheap.
The equipment required to tune these 4 wheel drives is expensive; the Dyno that is used to test a 4 wheel drive is very expensive, and the training is intense and on-going and it too is also expensive.
So, if the tune is cheap, ask yourself…. WHY?
Is it cheap because there is not much of a warranty?
Is it cheap because they don’t have the equipment?
Is it cheap because they haven’t invested in training?
Is it cheap because they just download the file from the internet?
Or, is it cheap because,… “well ,they are just really good guys, and I know I just met them, but the guy told me he’s happy to work for next to nothing”. I guess he just wants to give back to society? He’s really really nice!
