Engine tuning
An engine consists of a setup of mechanical
and electronic elements and most engines
employ the use of new technologies to provide
the best balance between performance and
emissions through the use of ECM (Engine
Control Unit). The OBD (On-Board Diagnosis) is
a communication protocol mostly used for
self-diagnosis can be modified via ‘mapping’
Mapping can be performed through
reprogramming the ECU (Electronic Control
Unit) or feeding false data through plug in
hardware. You can add power to the
mechanical components by using
turbochargers or superchargers. Engine tuning
needs to be done by an expert to avoid
premature failure.
