Torque Performance Developments over the years has a range of tuning and diagnosis tools to suit a range of factory ECU’s for tuning. OEM ECU tuning refers to tuning factory vehicle ECU’s. The process of tuning both is the same with a little more work required for aftermarket ECU’s as you are starting from scratch unlike a factory ECU that has already had countless hours tuned at the factory.

We also have diagnostics equipment connected to the vehicle to we can measure what the engine is doing to give us a better understanding of how changes in the map effect performance.Īs the vehicles ECU is constantly changing how it runs the engine based on sensors such as airflow meters, O2 sensors, temp sensors and knock sensors, when a vehicle is modified with parts such as downpipes, intercoolers, turbo’s, intakes, it can have a huge effect on how the ECU operates and can through a tune off course, so tuning the ECU is in our opinion the most important part of the modification process.įactory ECU vs Aftermarket ECU tuning is pretty similar with the only exception is that OEM ecu tuning is limited to what the tuning software is able to let you change, where an aftermarket ECU is basically a mapped out ECU with all required options and additional features that are more suited towards Motorsport.
The dyno is very useful for this as you can isolate and hold the vehicle at certain rpm/load to perfect the tune at any given point, something impossible to do on the road. The tuning process requires adjusting mapping in the ECU, such as boost, ignition timing, fuel, cam timing etc in all rpm and load points.
