| Tuning vehicles was in the past thought of as a black art, shrouded in secrecy. Until recently tooling and software for tuning vehicles was very limited and restricted to OEM's and spme performance centre's.Now you can purchase digital tooling and software such as HP Tuners (VCM Suite) or EfiLive which lets you alter an extensive set of mapping tables within the PCM tune as well as checking and resetting Diagnostic Trouble Codes. With these vehicle tuning tools you are able to log your vehicles performance, both engine and transmission and adjust the tune accordingly to dial it right in for maximum performance and economy. I personally purchased one these tools and with a little help from the support forum users I was able to maximize fuel economy whilst gaining in engine performance. Tuning is not for everyone but if you are a mechanic or are generally interested in tuning vehicles I recommend looking at getting your own tuning tools and software, once the bug bites there is no return, you'll have alot of fun too! |
