Engine Management

One of the most important areas to consider especially if you are performing any sort of engine modification that will increase your boost levels, horsepower, and torque. If you try to perform modifications without a proper tune you will injure your engine. If you move to another state and have a tune suited for your elevation levels and your new state has a higher or lower elevation, you will need to adjust. You need to make sure your air/fuel ratios are within a safe strike zone under load. Failure to have a proper and professional tune and/or engine management system could result in you becoming familiar with engine rebuilds and replacements. 

 

• PLUG-AND-PLAY ENGINE MANAGEMENT: Plug-and-play engine management is the simplest form of tuning your engine without having a complete standalone setup. The most popular option that we carry is the COBB Tuning Accessport. This is one of the most utilized and available plug-and-play engine tuning devices available for the aftermarket, and this unit will plug into your vehicle's OBD2 port hence why these are called plug-and-play. Aside from the Accessport, we also carry other options that include but are not limited to the likes of the Open Flash Tuning Tablet, the SCT handheld devices, and Integrated Engineering's ECU Flash Tune device. And for your convenience, there are many off-the-shelf maps available to match the staged modifications you have in your vehicle, as well as future modifications later on. 

 

• STANDALONE ENGINE MANAGEMENT: Now you're in real race car territory. Note that these should only be tuned by professional and experienced tuners, and although some of you like to learn on your own, the wrong timing settings or fuel tables will lead to catastrophe. Stand-alone engine management systems completely replace your ECU and provide you with full control of every major engine parameter. From boost levels, and timing levels, where you want your injectors to deliver the highest duty cycles, cold starts, anti-lag, rolling anti-lag, tunes for pump gas, tunes for ethanol, fail safes, and everything in between. Stand-alone engine management systems are found in virtually every race car, and high-powered street cars making horsepower levels than can only be achieved with adjustments that you cannot do with a plug-and-play unit. A handheld plug-and-play device fights against the ECU or makes adjustments that the ECU can agree with whereas a standalone unit will do what the tuner wants it to do. We carry units by AEM which have been proven and utilized by professional race teams of different racing genres to allow you to make the desired adjustments you need to make. 

 

• ENGINE MANAGEMENT SENSORS: Here you will find the main sensors you will need to surpass factory boost levels. Mainly MAP sensors, you will find 3 BAR and above to suit your horsepower and boost level goals. You will also find replacement O2 sensors for your OEM ECU, and wideband sensors that are required to provide you with accurate readings.
