General information Chiptuning

Under chiptuning one understands a subsequently brought about increase in performance of internal combustion engines of a motor vehicle. This is achieved by changing the factory tuned parameters of the electronic engine control.

The electronic engine control is usually carried out on a record. This data record is saved on a rewritable memory chip.

This record controls the regulation and control of the motor. And this is where the chip tuning in.

What is Chiptuning or. how does it work?

Chip tuning manipulates the software, the motor electronics of the vehicle, and links the relevant data for the motor control in a modified manner.

This data includes changing parameters such as the injection timing, Injection quantity and ignition timing for each cylinder.

This can lead to, that the boost pressure of the turbocharger or the amount of fuel, that is injected into the combustion chamber, increases. This torque and engine power is increased, without thereby performed on the motor controller, a mechanical manipulation.

In principle, the performance enhancement is based on a Maximization of mechanical and thermodynamic reserves of the motor.

Advantage and disadvantage of chip tuning

Chip Tuning - yes or no? The increase in output by chip tuning can result in various advantages and disadvantages.

The following advantages can bring chiptuning:

• More power to the drive train, especially in diesel engines, who are charged with exhaust gas turbo
• The maximum speed of the vehicle can be increased
• The acceleration values ​​can be significantly improved
• The engine response is sensitized
• This applies to both the acceleration process, and when the load changes

Apart from the advantages, there are also disadvantages or. Risks of chip tuning. These are as follows:

• The shelf life and thus the life of the engine and the operator could result due to the higher load to a faster wear (especially, when the extra power is used extensively) - thus chip tuning can be harmful to the engine and reduce the mileage of the car
• In many cases, the possible increased output of the engine is not reached
• Dubious chip tuner manipulate the consumption values, which are displayed on the on-board computer, electronic, therefore better fuel efficiency is simulated users
• Even with reputable have performed the chip tuning is often observed no reduction in fuel consumption. It often because of chip tuning to an increased consumption
• the engine is more burdened by increased peak pressures and the service life may be reduced
• The particulate emissions of turbo diesel engines can be significantly increased
• With an increased wear of the injection nozzle is ascribe
• A power boost may damage clutch, perform transmission and drivetrain
• Exhaust temperatures may increase. This can damage the case of catalysts, Particulate filters and / or cause of turbochargers. Because the high temperatures can lead to thermal aging, resulting in a loss of conversion capacity. This damage remains after removal of chip tuning consist.

As you can see, there are both some advantages and disadvantages or. risks. Recommended is therefore, carefully consider and seek advice from an experienced tuner chip. Because improperly performed Chip tuning can be harmful to their vehicle and at worst lead to engine damage.

At best, the desired engine variant should be purchased directly. In contrast, when an older vehicle was purchased and it does not depend on environmentally friendly driving and a maximum life, said Chip tuning is a practical way to get to more power without mechanical manipulation.

Chiptuning legal?

And, Chip tuning is legal and allowed. However, one has to leave his chip tuning necessarily enter! If this is not done, so Although this is associated with additional costs, but definitely worthwhile. Without it, that is still more expensive.

Because chip tuning is detectable and official registration of tuning in the vehicle papers is always immediately duty. Otherwise the operating license expires on account of an upgrade, thus you lose your approval. And driving without approval is a legal offense, which a fine of 135 € accompanied. There are also points on their license possible.

Chip tuning and the TÜV

Thus can take place entry, it is recommended that a chip tuning with a certificate of conformity or a general operating permit for vehicle parts (ABE) to let go. In Cete Automotive it is possible thanks to our partners to make a decrease depending on the car. This is not free and not mandatory, but optional.

In one part reports the measured values ​​of the power increase will, Test results and further technical information listed. Accordingly, the parts certificate assures compliance with the Road Traffic Regulation Rules. With this you can then to an examination organization (TÜV, Dekra, GTÜ etc.) go and register his Chiptuning.

However, the other way would be a single acceptance, the respectively compared to an expert opinions. an ABE is often more expensive.

insurance / Insurance coverage and chip tuning

If there is no entry in the registration papers instead, it comes in addition to the expiry of the operating also in the loss of insurance benefits. This should be avoided at all costs.
