Understanding The Whole Concept of Car Chip Tuning for Its Enhanced Performance

Now-a-days, trends of car chip tuning has gained a huge popularity across the world and most of car enthusiasts can be seen visiting the garage for getting tuned their car to enhance power and performance. An interesting fact about the chip tuning is that this trend is not only found among the car enthusiasts having a three to four year old car but also among the car owners who had recently bought a new vehicle which is not even a year old. Well, now the question arises, that despite of having a new car why do these car owners tune the chip like the old car owners?

An answer to this question is just the same as for the owners of old cars, to enhance the hidden performance which have been restricted due to existing driving conditions prevailing in their country. That means, it can be said that car chip tuning is the process that is helpful in booming performance of the car. But, now the question is how many of actually understand the process of chip tuning? Because, following the blind race getting the chip tuned has although become a fashion among the car owner, but until unless you do not know the process, you will not be able to notice the changes.

Process of Chip Tuning: In simple, chip tuning is the method which reprograms the electronic control unit (ECU) of car and makes it work according to the newly determined parameters. The ECU is placed in the injection system of the car and monitors the ratio of fuel and air that generates inside the engine. Reprogramming the chip facilitates you to let understand the type of ratio you wish to develop inside the engine as the impact of air and fuel combination.

The cost of chip tuning mainly depends upon the tuning method adopted by your mechanic. Anyhow, as the process is a complex activity that revolves around the computer and electrical system of your car it should be conducted with full discretion as the whole process not only impacts the performance of car engine but also the performance of the various parts associated with it.

Components that are controlled by the chip: With changing in techniques of car manufacturing the components associated with the ECU are also changing from time to time, and therefore depending upon the manufacturing year of car the components linked with it may vary. Some of the components affecting its performance are fuel injection system, accelerating system, timing and ignition system, vehicle stabilization system, valve support system and automatic transmission system. All these components are sensitive parts of your car and their perfect combination with the chip results in boosting the performance of the car through valve injection systems.

Some more facts associated with the ECU system

The ECU system is normally located closed to control panels located on the dashboard. Its performance is mainly controlled through the port known as diagnostic port. It is seen that lots of car owners having the vast knowledge of computer try to tune the chip at their end and get them caught in the web of calculations that it becomes difficult for them to come out from it. On the contrary they even disturb the existing settings of the engine too which damages the functionality of the engine. To avoid such problems it is always suggested to visit a professional having vast knowledge of chip tuning.

Here it would be important to mention that today although there are lots of manufacturers that offer do it yourself chip tuning devices, but despite of this the best way to avoid any problem is to seek the assistance from an expert.
