Frequently Asked Questions
What is ECU remapping?
ECU remapping is the process of optimising your vehicle’s engine control software to improve performance, drivability, and efficiency. This is done by adjusting parameters such as fuel delivery, ignition timing, and boost control.
Is ECU tuning safe for my vehicle?
Yes. When ECU tuning is custom-developed and properly tested, it is safe and reliable. All our ECU files are written in-house and validated through dyno testing to ensure safe operating limits are maintained.
How long does ECU remapping and dyno tuning take?
Most vehicles can be completed within approximately two hours, depending on the vehicle and the type of tuning required. Bookings are required to ensure dedicated time for your vehicle.
Do you tune both petrol and diesel vehicles?
Yes. We tune petrol and diesel engines, including turbocharged and naturally aspirated vehicles, as well as performance, commercial, and agricultural applications.
What is the difference between performance tuning and eco tuning?
Performance tuning focuses on increasing power, torque, and throttle response.
Eco tuning focuses on improving fuel efficiency and drivability while reducing fuel consumption.
Both options are custom-tuned to suit your driving needs.
How much improvement can I expect from tuning?
Results vary by vehicle, but typical improvements include:
Performance tuning: up to 30% improvement
Eco tuning: up to 25% improvement
Actual results depend on vehicle condition, engine type, and usage.
Do you use generic tuning files?
No. All ECU tuning files are developed and written in-house. We do not use generic or downloaded maps, ensuring each vehicle receives a custom solution.
What is automotive powder coating?
Automotive powder coating is a durable finishing process that protects components from corrosion, heat, and wear. It also improves the appearance of automotive and motorsport parts.
What parts can be powder coated?
Powder coating is commonly used for:
Automotive components
Performance and race car parts
Brackets, frames, and accessories
This service is ideal for parts exposed to harsh conditions.
What are Cerakote piston coatings?
Cerakote piston coatings are specialised ceramic coatings applied to pistons to reduce friction, manage heat, and protect against wear. They are commonly used in high-performance and race engine applications.
What are the benefits of Cerakote piston coatings?
Benefits include:
Reduced friction and wear
Improved heat resistance
Enhanced piston protection
Increased durability under high-performance conditions
Do you offer brake upgrades?
Yes. We offer high-performance braided brake hose upgrades designed to improve braking feel, consistency, and control by eliminating hose expansion under pressure.
Are braided brake hoses better than rubber hoses?
Yes. Braided brake hoses provide a firmer brake pedal, more consistent braking response, and longer service life compared to standard rubber brake hoses.
Do you supply and install the brake upgrades?
Yes. We can supply and advise on suitable braided brake hose upgrades and installation options based on your vehicle.
Do I need to book an appointment?
Yes. All services are performed strictly by appointment to ensure proper assessment, tuning time, and quality control.
Where are you located?
We are based in Bloemfontein, Free State, and serve customers from across the region and surrounding areas.
How do I make a booking?
You can contact us via phone or email to book an appointment. We’ll discuss your vehicle, requirements, and the best solution for your needs.
