2023 G21 330E tuned today. It was hot! It’s not just the engine and gearbox that get tested under these conditions but things like the tires become sticky. 392bhp on this one. And it’s unlikely to ever get the same stress on the road as it did on the dyno so we know it’s all good whatever the conditions!

BMW G20 330E unlocked and dyno tuned in house today. Running on supermarket 97 octane in some considerable heat, it made 284bhp and 440Nm standard, and 387bgp and 675Nm after we had finished tuning. That is 100bhp and over 200Nm of torque gained!

We've been working hard on developing tunes for the Taycan! Although we are petrol heads at heart and there is defo something missing here, a background in electrical and electronic engineering means we are quite well positioned to have a play :)

We have our own tools for development but have decided to flesh them out for general use. Here we have our own logging and analysis software for the Taycan which works over ethernet using an OBD-Ethernet cable :)

Huge news today for the tuning industry. Thanks to one of our hardware partners a huge relation of modern ecus are now able to be tuned in house with no need to send away the ecu. This includes virtually all VAG Porsche and BMW. So we can tune everything from a 340d to an 8Y RS3 to a 992.2 turbo S

To be clear - this is going back a few years to where we had to open virtually all ECU's - it is not a simple OBD flash but it's something we have extensive experience in, The process is a little longer than most other ECU's due to the extra disassembly. The tuning itself is nothing new - identical strategies we have been using since 2018.

We’ve not been posting many dyno runs recently as we have been doing some significant software development projects. Lots to come this year!

We are looking to borrow an S4 B9 for some new feature testing. We have developed Rolling launch and map switching, and need car to verify it all work as should! Thanks!

This is why we highly recommend new injectors and seals on ALL GPF cars and anything else that’s done more than 40k. This particular car picked up 50bhp.
