Procedure for optimization by ChipTuningPower
First of all you have two possibilities:
- a) Either you visit us with your vehicle
or - b) you send us, for certain models your ECU.
Usually we can satisfy your desired date during registration (1 - 2 days before).
If you are with you vehicle local in our bases, we need about 3-4 hours for the complete optimization.
Tuning possible using OBD-Interface:
- First the master software from your ECU is picked out and archived.
- The characteristic diagrams, data framework and characteristics contained in your
master software are represented with modern 3D software as a function of load and rpm.
These 3D characteristic diagrams are optimised for torque, performance and fuel
consumption. Since we adjust each vehicle individually anyway, we take into consideration
any existing higher performance and adjust our tuning software accordingly, especially for
older vehicles. We then implement, into the master software of your vehicle, the calculated
and adapted/tuned engine characteristics. - The calculations are then re-checked over all the ranges.
- Then the new adapted tuning software is written into your ECU. With older marks of the
controller a new tuning chip is made and then inserted into your controller. - Finally, together with you, we make a test run.
Tuning not possible using OBD-Interface:
With older (mostly models 2000 ago) or with special vehicle types, the optimization can’t be accomplished over the OBD interface. Therefore other precautions must be taken for the steps 1 and 3.
In the simplest case the ECU must be removed and attached directly to the PC for the optimization (e.g. VOLKSWAGEN B3 or Skoda Superb).
If it concerns older vehicles, the ECU must be opened for the optimization. Depending on model then the master software can be readed and/or written over certain contacts or it will be necessary to remove the EPROM (socket or soldered (visible intervention)) to read the master software over a special programming device. In this case new Tuningchips will be made, which will take place into your ECU. In this case the customer receives the master software and the original Chip.
If you want to send us your ECU, we recommend you send it via a well known parcel delivery service or send it by express post and insured (dependig from vehicle type 3000 - 5000 CHF). Also, inform our technical customer service. Your personal contact can provide support and advice to you, by telephone, with regard to the upgrading of the ECU. Usually the upgrading is completed within 5-10 minutes. Your contact partner cares for your complete order. On the day of receipt of your ECU we will dispatch your modified controller, again by express Swiss post. You will, therefore, receive it in Switzerland, by 11 o'clock of the next working day.
Attention: With delivery from a foreign country there are temporal delays because of the customs clearance. To not still arise additional costs, we recommend, to define the feed as warranty exchange. We continue to recommend to discuss with the assigned parcel service, how a commodity value and a value insurance can be locked, without accrue tools / VAT over this value. We must unfortunately transfer resulting auxiliary costs to our customer
For further questions and consultation our tuning specialists are at your disposal.
We would be pleased to serve you.
