Performance Engine Software was created to compliment
our sister company, Performance Engineered Systems. Already
known worldwide for our performance engine harware, we have
now expanded to the high tech world performance ECU tuning.
Our goal is to create the best ECU tuning available for the
widest range of enthusiast sports cars and sedans. Below
is a more detailed description of ECU tuning and what we
do....
A vehicles ECU (electronic control unit) controls all of
the engines operating functions. These include fueling, timing,
turbo boost, throttle control, etc. There are also hundreds
of algorithms which make multiple adjustments to engine functions
dependant upon current operating conditions such as intake
temperature, barometric pressure, fuel quality, etc.
Vehicle manufacturers typically tune the vehicles
ECU very conservatively, leaving unused performance available.
PES precisely adjusts the ECU “maps” that effect
performance such as fuel, timing, boost pressure, and
throttle response, and raising or removal of speed governors.
All of the engines safety parameters are left in tact. Part
throttle fuel and timing are optimized to deliver better
highway fuel economy and smoothness as well. The result is
a car that has better driveability that standard with much
more available power and performance. The overall reliability
and longevity of the engine are not compromised.
You will notice that we concentrate a lot of our efforts
on increasing the engines torque. Not only do we create chips
with the more torque, but we make it available at lower RPM’s
than standard. This gives you crisp off the line performance
that you can really feel.
Engineering and testing of our chips begins in Europe where
vehicles are typically released 6 months to one year before
they hit the United States market. Our engineers perform tuning
under stringent test conditions on load bearing all wheel drive
chassis dynamometers. Important engine data such as air/fuel
ratios, knock sensor activty, etc are carfully monitored during
testing. After testing on the dyno all cars are tested under
normal driving conditions on public roads. You can rest assured
that our chips are never pushed to the limit of performance
at the expense of your cars reliability. |
