Questions & Answers

Here we try to answer the most frequently asked questions:

What is Chiptuning?

Chiptuning is currently one of the most popular ways to raise power, at a relatively low cost. The possibilities come from the fact that the factory control software is made in such a way as to ensure the lowest possible fuel consumption, be in harmony with the ecology and have a safety margin for the use of bad operating measures and simple ignorance of the user. With extensive expertise, experience and measuring devices, you can therefore improve its parameters without harming the engine.

Individual Tuning of all vehicles

Individual Tuning of all vehicles

Our tuning software is adapted to each vehicle for all vehicle characteristics. Includes and maintains all standard vehicle software specifications. Our goal is the error-free transmission of all individual vehicle-specific data to the tuning software, incl. vehicle and engine identification numbers, gearbox types, modules, diagnostic identifications, fail-safe programs. This corresponds to the natural quality deviations of the components supplied by the supplier (in the engine construction, e.g. pistons, heads, manifolds, turbochargers, exhaust systems, etc.). As a result, your vehicle behaves and can be serviced and diagnosed like any standard vehicle. Manufacturers use dozens of new software versions every day, which are developed for individual pallets of engines and vehicles and programmed in the vehicle engine ECU.
You can distinguish among others:

1. Vehicle type, gearbox version and vehicle driveline ...
are of course primarily decisive factors in software tuning, i.e. there are differences between the designs of individual vehicles, also between identical engines
Rear, front or all-wheel drive: Quattro, X-Drive, 4-Motion, 4-Mtic etc.
Sedan, Coupe, Cabriolet, Station wagon, SUV
5-speed manual, 6-speed manual, S-Tronic / Tiptronic, MultiTronic, DSG, POWERSHIFT, 5G-Tronic or 7G-Tronic etc.

2. Characteristics of the engine
Of course, differently tuned software also changes the characteristics of the engine. Therefore, an automobile company is able, with the same engine, with differently tuned software, to produce a diverse range of vehicles associated with its automotive marks. Each sign of a vehicle, as well as each type of vehicle, therefore receives its own slightly modified engine characteristics, without the need to re-develop the entire engine.

3. Mechanically identical engines - may have different performance variants
For example, almost all manufacturers now offer mechanically identical or almost identically designed engines with different performance variants. The more powerful and usually also more expensive performance variant, which is otherwise almost mechanically identical, often only has revised software in the engine ECU.

4. Deviations of series engines within series and supplier
The manufacturer produces, for example, 1000 engines with a rated power of 150 HP in series. After final assembly, these motors usually undergo an engine test bench test of approximately 20 minutes to verify mechanical functionality and determine power rating and maximum torque. However, the production of engines is subject to the so-called serial deviation, i.e. due to the different mechanical tolerances of individual components (piston, cylinder head, etc.). Of these 1000 engines, only about 330 will have the desired 150 HP. Another third of these engines will be above 150 to 160hp, and the last third will be less powerful, below 150hp, in the 140-150hp range. In order to compensate for these deviations, the software versions are uniquely adapted by the manufacturer to the engine series, i.e. by means of the ECU software the individual engines are adjusted to the rated power. There are also variations and stability characteristics of the individual components supplied by the vendors that need to be included in the ECU software. For reasons of cost, quality and logistics, it is common to use different suppliers for the same vehicle parts.

5. Fuel quality and emission standards
Basically, there are currently two different vehicle designs with regard to emissions and fuel quality. For us, however, only the so-called EC standard for all European vehicles. US vehicles usually only run outside of Europe. Just change to 98 octane fuel (super plus), most Otto engines have a noticeable improvement in "revitalization" and agility. Some manufacturers already recommend, especially with higher performance engines (eg M3, M5, Porsche 996, E55 - CL55 etc.), refueling with 98 octane fuel. Although most vehicles are only run on 95 octane fuel (super unleaded). Therefore, most standard production vehicles cannot run on 98 octane fuel. A good example is that Italy delivers the same vehicles as Germany, with identical performance figures. However, in Italy 98 octane (super plus) fuel is not available. Italy only has 95 octanes (super euro). However, if the necessary fuel for the rated power is not available nationwide, the vehicle would have to be delivered with a lower performance, however in Italy this is not done. A similar situation occurs for all turbodiesel engines in terms of the sulfur content and the cetane number of the diesel fuel available ...


6. Software Updates

While we regularly update our computers, tablets or phones so that they run faster and more efficiently and use less energy. The ECU and TCU can also be updated as continuous research and experience shows that better performance can be achieved for the engine or gearbox. You can think of a software update.

Agro tuning

Agro tuning

We perform agro tuning in the Masovian, Podlasie, Lublin and Warmian-Masurian provinces.In individual cases, we can reach the customer much further.

Our company, Szulc Motorsport, performs agro-tuning services - we offer our clients a complete modification of construction and agricultural machinery in order to significantly improve the parameters of the equipment. All this with the use of the original instrument operating via the OBD connector in the cabin or the Bench mode - without the need to open the controller.

We invite all clients directly to the headquarters of our company located in Wyszków. We offer a wide range of works related to diagnostics and tuning of agricultural and construction machinery.

Diagnostics of agricultural and construction machines.

As part of the agro-tuning service, we are ready to carry out full diagnostics of agricultural machines - only on this basis we can perform the correct modifications and be sure that they will positively affect the operation of agricultural and construction equipment. We perform this operation with the use of the latest diagnostic software - thanks to this, we can provide the service of agricultural machinery diagnostics quickly and safely.

Activities performed as part of agro-tuning

Activities performed as part of agro-tuning are mainly activities aimed at increasing the engine power while maintaining the same fuel consumption. In addition, our company can modify the machines in such a way as to reduce fuel consumption by 2-8%, depending on the working conditions.

In addition, we undertake processes such as: modification of the SCR AdBlue system software and operation of the DPF particulate filter and EGR valve in the memory of the engine controller of an agricultural and construction machine, as well as increasing the speed limit of devices.

Increasing the speed limit

Modification to increase the speed limit is possible on many leading brands of agricultural machinery. This operation is a completely safe solution, as it results directly from the restrictions in a given country - in Poland the maximum speed is 40 km / h, and in Germany it is 50 km / h. This service can be performed on tractors with a manual as well as an automatic gearbox.

Truck Tuning

Truck ChipTunig


Stege 1 Truck Chiptunig In our reasoning, is a change of engine controller software towards ECO Tuning - it is the optimal solution that allows to reduce fuel consumption and at the same time obtain higher torque and engine power.

As in the case of passenger cars and heavy equipment, we approach each vehicle individually, according to the customer's wishes. We also check the vehicle before and after its technical condition and carry out full computer diagnostics as well as power and torque measurements. At the customer's request, we perform acceleration measurements at selected gears and speeds.

Reducing fuel consumption in trucks depends on the type of use as well as the type of car. Thus, the following operating conditions are distinguished:
1. Terms of use: city / route
2. Full or partial load operation
3. Loading weight
4. Topography of the area
5. Climate
Generally:
The more fuel a truck uses, the greater the fuel economy
The saving potential is in the range of approx. 5%. In the tested vehicles, savings in mixed use ranged from 2% to 10%.
Assumption: Price per liter Diesel: PLN 5.50 Fuel savings: 5%
Example:
A truck that needs an average of 20 liters of diesel fuel per 100 km (on average) for PLN 5.50 and 5 percent. savings of 40,000 km, savings of PLN 2200. (approx. 500 euros)


In addition to saving on fuel costs, you can also save on start-up costs with chip tuning. When buying a truck, you can buy a weaker version of the engine, and very often it is exactly the same engine with the same components, differing only in power and torque thanks to the engine controller software.

To sum up, the main goal of chiptuning for trucks and vans is to reduce the costs of its use and improve the flexibility of the engine, i.e. primarily to reduce fuel consumption, in practice we are in a relationship with the customer and it is also possible to correct the software while remaining in the price of the service.

For customers who want to effectively increase torque and engine power without paying attention to fuel consumption, we offer STAGE 2.

Modification of the TCU automatic transmission controller software

Modification of the software of the TCU automatic transmission controller - DSG, S-Tronic, PowerShift and hydrokinetic: 6HP, 8HP, 5G-tronic, 7G-tronic and many others.

Changes to the gearbox control software can meet the needs of a sporty and ambitious driver.
We will adjust the following parameters to specific requirements:

  • shorter switching times
  • changeover at engine speed
  • freewheel engine speed when changing full load
  • engine speed limitation on request
  • adaptation of the torque limit when reprogramming the engine electronics
  • launch control optimization
  • shorter response times of shift paddles
  • higher setting of forced up gear in manual mode
  • Deactivating the kickdown function
  • starting or clutch adjustable more smoothly
  • Oeco mode with special switching operations
  • If necessary, the modification maps will be adjusted in D or S mode. For cars with active / variable exhaust, we recommend only adjusting the S mode according to your wishes, because the exhaust in D mode sometimes has different cruising parameters.

In the context of Chiptunig, there are car models that can no longer be driven without modifying the software in the TCU gearbox. In these models, the correction is automatically included in the price of the chip tuning.

Not all automatic transmission models require modification of the TCU software as power and torque increase. It depends very much on the needs of each user. About 80% of users are satisfied after modifying the engine software, even without increasing the torque limit. 20% of users admit that during sports driving, the torque limit is too high immediately after shifting gears and therefore needs to be adjusted. These additional tweaks are available as well as the aforementioned improvements.
Here are some examples that require modification.
Gear type / modification required from NM / Max. Clutch mechanical torque
DQ200 / (Transverse) for example 1.4TSI, 1.8TSI / 250NM / 380NM
DQ250 (transverse) e.g. Golf 5 2.0 TFSI, 2.0TDI / 400NM / 480NM / 700NM (modified clutch)
DL251 (longitudinal) for example Audi A4 2.0 TFSI / 400NM / 480NM
DQ500 (Transverse) e.g. 2.5 TFSI / 550NM / 750NM
DL501 (longitudinal) for example Audi A6 3.0TDI / 550NM / 750NM

We also copy / clone TCU drivers, necessary for most modern gearboxes when installing a used gearbox for another car.

For racing use, we are able to modernize gearboxes according to customer expectations. Whether it is shifting, installing a differential lock or a heavy duty clutch, please get in touch. We can meet your requirements. We needed your vehicle for such modernizations for a long time. Price depends on development, mechanical and testing work. The service time required varies by model, type, software version, desired settings and associated test work and will be charged on a per-cost basis.

Is it possible to restore the serial program?

Yes, at any time we can restore the serial program that was.

We have legal access to serial programs used by manufacturers, as well as to updates and previous versions.
