Few years ago I had BMW 530D E60. Before we tuned it we measured on dyno to be 158kw. After they were finished with tuning it was doing 205kw and it was all done electronically without any hardware updates. I don't know what they did but after leaving tuning shop and trying to jump green light that was blinking the power change was VERY noticeable. It was a bit wet, I was doing like 40km/h and as soon as I floored it the wheels span. I remember after tuning if I was doing 100km/ha and floored for over-take the speed would just keep climbing at insane rate. Once was over taking 3 trucks at onnce and by the time it took me to overtake the last one I was doing 160km/ha. Before the tuning maximum top speed that I've reached was 235km/ha, after the tunning it was 260km/ha but that was the limit of the speedometer.
What they did was increase boost pressure and the amount of fuel injected, it's fairly straightforward. Most turbocharged cars can make some 20-30% more power with the stock components than they are programmed to do, because they are tuned for efficiency rather than maximum performance, plus safety margins.
@@BigUriel that’s not entirely true. Usually the way you up the boost is by switching to e85, and because it runs cooler while maintaining a good octane number, you can increase boost by like 30-40% without doing anything else. But you can’t run e85 unless you have larger injectors and fuel pump, because the energy density of e85 is about 30% lower than pump gas, so you need to spray that much more fuel and run a different AfR. I did this to my LGT and went from 12 psi peak to 16.7psi peak, and gained about 35hp and 30lbft. But make sure you get a dyno tune by a pro. I just had Cameron Dawes help me with a tune I was doing myself, and because he didn’t do it all himself on a dyno, it wasn’t refined, and I ended up having to put my stock pump back in, and I should have adjusted the tune for that, but didn’t, and it ran lean for too long and I bent a valve and ruined a piston, and had to get a rebuild that cost $4k. So be careful with this shit. Don’t cut corners like I did.
I kept telling myself, when I get my car I’m gonna throw a supercharger and a new intake and fuel inject it without knowing I’d have to get all that tuned... so here I am
Homeschooling was pretty legit. When we learned about the space race (history class) my mom had my sister and me make high test peroxide and a very little hydrazine (chemistry class) to learn about hypergolic propellant. We also once had a trebuchet war in the front yard with some other homeschool kids to learn about mechanical moments.

@@mrwelderman1357 idk, not even the p-51’s 12 cylinder engine went that high without blowing up it could hold 61k rpm with max manifold pressure for like 5 mins for emergency war power, held it too long there and the engine would just blow. Maybe something small could do it, like a dental drills they can go up to 800k rpm
Just put red brake calipers for an extra 5bhp each caliper ... simple ... oh and don't forget the high performance headlight fluid for some extra umph.
When your old exhaust system is leaking it sounds like 50- 100 hp gain from all that coarse rumbling sound. It makes Corvette and other muscle cars owners felt threaten at stop lights.

It depends on the OEM and how overbuilt they made their product. Modern Toyota trucks (and some of their cars) are a great example of being over engineered for long term reliability, and having a great starting point for mods. The Can. version of the Tacoma has the same frame strength as a Dodge/GMC/Ford 1/2ton, so it can take massive suspension, tire size, and engine upgrades without a problem.
@@ryanleese7762 Solid. I bought it with 73k kms tuned it around 90k, currently it's done around 112k kms. Only issue was a broken water pump. Either the pump was already shit from the factory or the tune made it crack. My mechanic was not sure about it. Just bad luck probably. No problems since it got fixed. Had to change the front tyres and breaking pads after 30k kms but that was to be expected. Till the engine hits the right temperature I'll barely go above 2000 rpm. I always put 98 octan benzine in it and because of all the horror story s I regular check my oil level but so far around every 10k kms it needs to have a little bit. I think around 2L so far.
@@sandski5174 Thanks for the info! I just tuned my a3 2.0 TFSI and it definitely is faster! I actually had a busted water pump when I bought it used last month - 2016, 33k miles, everything else basically brand new according to my mechanic. I will only be using 93 octane gas, upgrading spark plugs to NGK RS7s, gonna check on the haldex Anything else I should know?

Alfa WF awd is like 4wd except the computer can compensate each tire like for example if the car is losing traction on 1 side. Ecm can control how much power through the front 2 tires and also through the rear 2 tires.
Specifically on older cars, you can get a good bit from a tune. Most cars are tuned conservatively for reliability and efficiency. My miata can grab ~20whp from a well set fuel map and spark map.
1st time watching this video and I love everything about it the editing, the illustrations and just the way that he communicates. Keep it up I actually learned something
Let me guess, you are running a honda civic with spoon engine, and on top of that, you just went into Harry’s and bought three t66 turbos with nos, and a motec exhaust system.
This is one of the best and most informative RUclips videos I ever found… very descriptive love that you explained how it worked in the 70s, great video
Just one thing - Upping the boost on a turbo car is definitely a way you can get an easy 25-30 HP out of modern car. Will it be completely safe and reliable? Depends on the car, but most "stage 1" tunes are still fairly conservative, just not as conservative as what was put out by the manufacturer. My Mini runs around 12 pounds of boost, 14 overboost for 10 seconds if I pin the throttle. A tune can up that to around 18-19 without the need for any supporting mods, and the gains are there.
OEMs don't tune for absolute max performance. They tune for best fuel economy, engine durability beyond a warranted mileage, and to meet EPA / CARB regulations. On boosted vehicles with minimal hardware mods, HUGE gains are possible with a tune. Gas and diesel, boosted 25-100+ more hp/ tq is a possibility.
I can confirm that an aftermarket ECU system can increase both performance and economy in a turbocharged car. My 2009 VW Tiguan 4motion TSI made 125kw (167hp) and 280Nm (207ft-lbs) from the factory. Last month I had it fitted with an APR ECU and air filter system for around $1,000AUD, and it now makes 175kw (235hp) and 340Nm (251ft-lbs), as well as a significantly better fuel economy. It has a slightly heavier duty clutch to handle the power increase, but it is well worth the money. It's my daily driver so I don't need huge power, but the car is more fun to drive, has better throttle response and better fuel economy. It's not a cheap mod, considering in a lot of cars you'll need a new clutch, and in some cases new injectors and fuel pumps, but if you find a system from a good brand that offers warranty and delivers proof, I'd say it's the best value for money mod there is.
Carlos Barberena Not at all. Better control = better engine performance. If you can work a smart phone you can learn to tune. Not difficult at all. Carburetors were great 60years ago
Mom: there’s no point in customizing your engine. Just make it look fast, you don’t need to go that fast. Me: mom I’m gonna go fast Mom: why?? Me: because.............. I Am speed
This is funny because you most certainly can get power from just ecu tubing depending on platform. Say my turbo deisel Duramax truck you can get well over 200 hp to the wheels just with ecu tuning alone pretty much adding more fueling and changing your main injection timing and pulse width/time.
@Yassine Ouadi Yea I chipped mine as soon as diesel fuel hit 5+usd/gallon since it was advertised to get 2-3 mpg increase and it did I went from about 18.6 to 21.5 mpg when using the extreme tune on the programmer I started off with. I kept the programmer but had it converted into an edge insight monitor to keep an eye on things, and then I started messing with doing tuning myself with EFILive. I pulled around an extra 50% hp/Tq because I wanted to keep it safe for my transmission but with that and exhaust/intake mods and other supporting mods I get mid 23 mpg avg and before the intake fuel delivery it dynoed at 562 whp and 1162 wTq it should be at or over 600 hp and mid 1200s for tq. It's not bad for a truck that came with 360 engine hp and 650 ftlbs of tq. It does mid to low 12 sec 1/4 miles, mid 4 sec 0-60, and weighs ~7200 lbs.
Man I can’t agree. Factory tuning is what they decided to be an avenger for wear and fuel. Aftermarket tuning does wonders. Cars can’t be made to performance beasts from factory because budgets and laws
my vw polo 1.9 with 132 hp stock is capable of 190 hp without hardware modifications. however right now it is tuned to 160/170ish hp to not blow the engine too soon. So you can get more than just 50hp with a remap but keep in mind it won't be safe especially for your turbo charger. I had to replace mine after 182000 km but i think that's ok given that the car performs much better now.
it goes something like this: you spend ridiculous amount of money, turn the boost up to 11, danger to manifold warning pops up, the floor pan flies off, your car is ruined and money flushed down the drain, you buy a reliable stock car and drive it like a granny for the rest of your life
Dariune AND to top it all off some random Vietnamese guy you’ve never met before on a motorcycle shoots your car with a machine-gun that fires magical bullets that ignite NO2 and the whole thing explodes. Fucking hate it when that happens.
This is glorious, been searching for "typical car modifications" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Vabrielbey Vehicle Verifiability - (do a search on google ) ? Ive heard some amazing things about it and my buddy got amazing results with it.
no no no it`s totally different. For overclocking u just increase the clock speed and pray for nothing goes wrong. For tuning, it`s a function of multiple variables, and more fuel or air doesn't always mean more power. It`s much more complex.
@@jeffma7202 Obviously you don't know much about PC overclocking. It's very similar in context you're playing with a lot of variables and try to tweak things to have best performance on lowest power consumption possible. There's a lot to balance and you need to do a lot of tests to see system stability. Like variable voltage range, variable frequency range, FSB multiplier, adjusting cooling fans curves, ram timings, ram voltage etc.
sry I'm an electrical engineer and I`ve worked in FSAE club in engine mapping. What you said is partially correct, yet all those variables are directly correlated with [clock speed] and are [INDEPENDENT]. for CPU and RAM [Voltage], they increase as a [function of frequency] that relates to the MOSFET characteristic, in a simple way, increase Vgs provides a higher i/V ratio for Mosfet, resulting a less wait time needed between clk cycle. Cooling are just [More is better], or using a simple proportional conrtol to keep under a temperature. Motherboards normally provides efficient built-in tools for overclock safety as well. For ENGINE, it`s totally different. Desired throttle have a positive and relatively linear correlation with the torque output. Tunable input includes (intake opening, fuel injection, and ignition timing) These variables influences each other, while they are mapped onto a graph of (throttle position, RPM, and oxygen sensor) chart.(simpler ecu use 2 instead). Here you get a fuction of 6 dimensions, and adjusting any point on the map would influence its neighboring points, and poor tuning may result in engine stocking at the certain scenario, either due to too lean or rich, or poor timing. Cooling on the engine are more curcial than CPU. Engine operation is directly correlated with the temperature, much more than CPU does, and relates to the whole mapping. I still know far too little about IC engine but hope this would help.
0:40 I remember working on my dad's '79 trans-am and we had to adjust the carburetor. So we looked up what it was supposed to be at: 2 1/2 turns from closed. So we had to close it first, I got the wrench on and started turning, 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 full turns, before it stopped. The previous owners did not take good care of that car
Yes and no. It depends on how restrictive your exhaust is. On, say, an Integra Type-R, they are already running a factory tuned, race-inspired 2.5 inch exhaust all of the way back with headers from the factory. Changing it will make it sound different, and without going full resonator and cat delete will likely not give you much, even with a tune. BUT, say you have, idunno, a brand new turbocharged Hyundai... Those come with at least 2 or 3 cats; one in the downpipe, one mid chassis, and likely another (depending on the company). Removing those restrictions (which are VERY restrictive), and dumping a tune into that.... yeah. You will absolutely notice a difference. Results will vary, but you need to be able to move a lot of air to make use of it. Internal combustion engines are, for lack of a better term, big ass air pumps. They just use explosions to do it, and then connect the bottom of the pump to the wheels through a transmission that "transmits the power to them. (I know it sounds silly, but that is pretty much what a 4-cycle engine does). The bigger the bang, the bigger the gain. You just have to find the sweet spot for what you have. If you are already running a high-compression engine (if it says premium only on your fuel cover and you are not boosted, like a Corvette or Civic Type-R or whatever), then you will see good gains the more you let air/fuel flow in, blow up as powerful as it can, and move it out as quickly as you can, you will boogie. That is why most people do IHE; you are opening up the engine to let it do it's thing. Hence the reason you can get 50HP out of an intake manifold/TB and exhaust on an old 5.0. They were just restricted from the factory. With a turbocharger, you can force more air in, and therefore see bigger gains over just taking in whatever air at whatever height above sea level you are at.. :)
Rōnin Dusette thank you soooo much omg. This is what I look for in the car community while trying to learn the mechanics of cars and not just the names of them from Need for Speed and Forza. This is what the car community needs and not new learners being called a dumbass. . Thanks man. Many thanks.
@@JudeDude409 N/A cars want fuel, ignition timing and free flowing air(Exhaust AND Intake) Turbo cars want boost and fuel. Think of it as an airpump, the less work it takes to move air the more power you make. check out a game call "automation" and play around with stuff, its pretty realistic numbers wise.
Manufacturers always leave room for more performance, especially on turbo cars. These days there are loads of software manufacturers who do infact sell you performance boxes that will give you depending on the car sometimes over 100hp software only. RaceChip does that for example.
@@m4d_mark_xtr3me79 the E9x BMW 335i (with the kickass N54 engine) has amazing tuning potential (being a factory turbo engine). And its definitely not overweight for a sedan/saloon of its size.
I’m pretty sure you can tune a Mk. 7 GTI with just some adjustments made through the OBD port & a laptop that installs different settings onto the ECU, & gain an additional 90+ HP.

@@ryanleese7762 Solid. I bought it with 73k kms tuned it around 90k, currently it's done around 112k kms.
Only issue was a broken water pump. Either the pump was already shit from the factory or the tune made it crack.
My mechanic was not sure about it. Just bad luck probably. No problems since it got fixed.
Had to change the front tyres and breaking pads after 30k kms but that was to be expected.
Till the engine hits the right temperature I'll barely go above 2000 rpm. I always put 98 octan benzine in it and because of all the horror story s I regular check my oil level but so far around every 10k kms it needs to have a little bit. I think around 2L so far.
@@sandski5174 Thanks for the info! I just tuned my a3 2.0 TFSI and it definitely is faster! I actually had a busted water pump when I bought it used last month - 2016, 33k miles, everything else basically brand new according to my mechanic. I will only be using 93 octane gas, upgrading spark plugs to NGK RS7s, gonna check on the haldex Anything else I should know?

Specifically on older cars, you can get a good bit from a tune. Most cars are tuned conservatively for reliability and efficiency. My miata can grab ~20whp from a well set fuel map and spark map.
Older cars are very bad in tuning. How to tune my 3l le baron from 1990. its not possible without doing way to much

Just one thing - Upping the boost on a turbo car is definitely a way you can get an easy 25-30 HP out of modern car. Will it be completely safe and reliable? Depends on the car, but most "stage 1" tunes are still fairly conservative, just not as conservative as what was put out by the manufacturer. My Mini runs around 12 pounds of boost, 14 overboost for 10 seconds if I pin the throttle. A tune can up that to around 18-19 without the need for any supporting mods, and the gains are there.
I love his weird 1950s TV tone. So easy to learn this way

I just found your youtube channel and let me say that it is so enjoyable to listen to your explanations🎉
its a team of people
OEMs don't tune for absolute max performance. They tune for best fuel economy, engine durability beyond a warranted mileage, and to meet EPA / CARB regulations. On boosted vehicles with minimal hardware mods, HUGE gains are possible with a tune. Gas and diesel, boosted 25-100+ more hp/ tq is a possibility.
I can confirm that an aftermarket ECU system can increase both performance and economy in a turbocharged car. My 2009 VW Tiguan 4motion TSI made 125kw (167hp) and 280Nm (207ft-lbs) from the factory. Last month I had it fitted with an APR ECU and air filter system for around $1,000AUD, and it now makes 175kw (235hp) and 340Nm (251ft-lbs), as well as a significantly better fuel economy. It has a slightly heavier duty clutch to handle the power increase, but it is well worth the money. It's my daily driver so I don't need huge power, but the car is more fun to drive, has better throttle response and better fuel economy. It's not a cheap mod, considering in a lot of cars you'll need a new clutch, and in some cases new injectors and fuel pumps, but if you find a system from a good brand that offers warranty and delivers proof, I'd say it's the best value for money mod there is.
Yes but then you run into problems like stress on rods, editing on head studs, fuel pump and injectors, ect.......
Its not that simple
@@Sodachimp Depends on the car. N54s have forged rods and crank from the factory.
Any car that revs to 90000 RPM does not need tuning. It just needs more fule[sic]!

This is funny because you most certainly can get power from just ecu tubing depending on platform. Say my turbo deisel Duramax truck you can get well over 200 hp to the wheels just with ecu tuning alone pretty much adding more fueling and changing your main injection timing and pulse width/time.
You're right in europe chip tuning is really popular almost every guy has a stage 1 factory car
@Yassine Ouadi Yea I chipped mine as soon as diesel fuel hit 5+usd/gallon since it was advertised to get 2-3 mpg increase and it did I went from about 18.6 to 21.5 mpg when using the extreme tune on the programmer I started off with. I kept the programmer but had it converted into an edge insight monitor to keep an eye on things, and then I started messing with doing tuning myself with EFILive. I pulled around an extra 50% hp/Tq because I wanted to keep it safe for my transmission but with that and exhaust/intake mods and other supporting mods I get mid 23 mpg avg and before the intake fuel delivery it dynoed at 562 whp and 1162 wTq it should be at or over 600 hp and mid 1200s for tq. It's not bad for a truck that came with 360 engine hp and 650 ftlbs of tq. It does mid to low 12 sec 1/4 miles, mid 4 sec 0-60, and weighs ~7200 lbs.
Subarus, as well. The factory had to create some pretty conservative tunes in order for some of their turbo engines to pass US emissions.

Says the one who is putting emojis, normie...
my vw polo 1.9 with 132 hp stock is capable of 190 hp without hardware modifications. however right now it is tuned to 160/170ish hp to not blow the engine too soon. So you can get more than just 50hp with a remap but keep in mind it won't be safe especially for your turbo charger. I had to replace mine after 182000 km but i think that's ok given that the car performs much better now.
Wait the turbo blow out or the engine at 182000 km. Sorry but i might be a stupid question
@@MWAclanGaming the turbo had to be replaced together with the intercooler.
@@Hawallanxx oh ok so not the engine
it goes something like this: you spend ridiculous amount of money, turn the boost up to 11, danger to manifold warning pops up, the floor pan flies off, your car is ruined and money flushed down the drain, you buy a reliable stock car and drive it like a granny for the rest of your life

soo... like.... overclocking?
Oh yeah yeah
Yes
no no no it`s totally different. For overclocking u just increase the clock speed and pray for nothing goes wrong. For tuning, it`s a function of multiple variables, and more fuel or air doesn't always mean more power. It`s much more complex.
@@jeffma7202 Obviously you don't know much about PC overclocking. It's very similar in context you're playing with a lot of variables and try to tweak things to have best performance on lowest power consumption possible. There's a lot to balance and you need to do a lot of tests to see system stability. Like variable voltage range, variable frequency range, FSB multiplier, adjusting cooling fans curves, ram timings, ram voltage etc.
sry I'm an electrical engineer and I`ve worked in FSAE club in engine mapping. What you said is partially correct, yet all those variables are directly correlated with [clock speed] and are [INDEPENDENT]. for CPU and RAM [Voltage], they increase as a [function of frequency] that relates to the MOSFET characteristic, in a simple way, increase Vgs provides a higher i/V ratio for Mosfet, resulting a less wait time needed between clk cycle. Cooling are just [More is better], or using a simple proportional conrtol to keep under a temperature. Motherboards normally provides efficient built-in tools for overclock safety as well. For ENGINE, it`s totally different. Desired throttle have a positive and relatively linear correlation with the torque output. Tunable input includes (intake opening, fuel injection, and ignition timing) These variables influences each other, while they are mapped onto a graph of (throttle position, RPM, and oxygen sensor) chart.(simpler ecu use 2 instead). Here you get a fuction of 6 dimensions, and adjusting any point on the map would influence its neighboring points, and poor tuning may result in engine stocking at the certain scenario, either due to too lean or rich, or poor timing. Cooling on the engine are more curcial than CPU. Engine operation is directly correlated with the temperature, much more than CPU does, and relates to the whole mapping. I still know far too little about IC engine but hope this would help.

MrKAWF No. I love nothing more in this world than obtaining a fresh scalp.
6:05 damn near 90k redline
0:40 I remember working on my dad's '79 trans-am and we had to adjust the carburetor.
So we looked up what it was supposed to be at: 2 1/2 turns from closed.
So we had to close it first, I got the wrench on and started turning, 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 full turns, before it stopped. The previous owners did not take good care of that car
I saw this pop up on my recommended and thought they brought it back, turns out its just one I never watched. I was so excited :(
So basically any time you add a mod like headers, an new exhaust you’ll need to tune the car?
yes to get the peak performance from the hardware you upgraded
Yes and no. It depends on how restrictive your exhaust is. On, say, an Integra Type-R, they are already running a factory tuned, race-inspired 2.5 inch exhaust all of the way back with headers from the factory. Changing it will make it sound different, and without going full resonator and cat delete will likely not give you much, even with a tune. BUT, say you have, idunno, a brand new turbocharged Hyundai... Those come with at least 2 or 3 cats; one in the downpipe, one mid chassis, and likely another (depending on the company). Removing those restrictions (which are VERY restrictive), and dumping a tune into that.... yeah. You will absolutely notice a difference. Results will vary, but you need to be able to move a lot of air to make use of it. Internal combustion engines are, for lack of a better term, big ass air pumps. They just use explosions to do it, and then connect the bottom of the pump to the wheels through a transmission that "transmits the power to them. (I know it sounds silly, but that is pretty much what a 4-cycle engine does). The bigger the bang, the bigger the gain. You just have to find the sweet spot for what you have. If you are already running a high-compression engine (if it says premium only on your fuel cover and you are not boosted, like a Corvette or Civic Type-R or whatever), then you will see good gains the more you let air/fuel flow in, blow up as powerful as it can, and move it out as quickly as you can, you will boogie. That is why most people do IHE; you are opening up the engine to let it do it's thing. Hence the reason you can get 50HP out of an intake manifold/TB and exhaust on an old 5.0. They were just restricted from the factory. With a turbocharger, you can force more air in, and therefore see bigger gains over just taking in whatever air at whatever height above sea level you are at.. :)
Rōnin Dusette thank you soooo much omg. This is what I look for in the car community while trying to learn the mechanics of cars and not just the names of them from Need for Speed and Forza. This is what the car community needs and not new learners being called a dumbass. . Thanks man. Many thanks.
@@JudeDude409 N/A cars want fuel, ignition timing and free flowing air(Exhaust AND Intake) Turbo cars want boost and fuel. Think of it as an airpump, the less work it takes to move air the more power you make. check out a game call "automation" and play around with stuff, its pretty realistic numbers wise.
@@thenewhalogod An air pump is exactly how I described it above and how I have been describing it for years. It's pretty damn accurate. :)
Manufacturers always leave room for more performance, especially on turbo cars. These days there are loads of software manufacturers who do infact sell you performance boxes that will give you depending on the car sometimes over 100hp software only. RaceChip does that for example.
Does it affect the performance of the car or engine if you only put a racechip on with not tuning it up?
R3IMU 100hp? 50hp if ur lucky

@@m4d_mark_xtr3me79 the E9x BMW 335i (with the kickass N54 engine) has amazing tuning potential (being a factory turbo engine). And its definitely not overweight for a sedan/saloon of its size.
I’m pretty sure you can tune a Mk. 7 GTI with just some adjustments made through the OBD port & a laptop that installs different settings onto the ECU, & gain an additional 90+ HP.
