Can my engine handle the extra power?

Many modern vehicles are somewhat ‘under tuned’ when released from their factory.

There are several reasons for this:

The first is that many car owners will not stick to the recommended service intervals for their specific vehicle.

As a result of this, the engine oil could deteriorate and cause blockages in the oil lines. This could potentially starve the engine/turbo charger of oil.

The fuel and air filters could also block, limiting the quality and flow rate of diesel.

The manufacturers must account for these factors (and many others), and prevent damage being caused to the engine by an irresponsible owner.

Another clear cause for ‘under tuning’ a vehicle is to promote sales of future vehicles. If a manufacturer can improve the performance of their new vehicles year upon year, then it is likely that they will continue to sell their newest models and will continue to make profits.
As modern cars are equipped with an electronic control unit (ECU), it is possible for a ‘tuner’ to modify the data stored within it, and increase an engines performance safely. This is carried out in the same manner as the manufacturer would approach it if they were to 'upgrade' the power output of the vehicle. All of our tuning has been thoroughly tested to ensure the safety and longevity of your engine.

 

If more power is requested from an engine it is important that the service intervals are adhered to. This will help to prolong engine life.
