Chiptuning
in Vancouver is not especially popular. There may be various reasons for
this, but perhaps the main one is the misconception that
increasing engine power and torque is restricted by law. This may be
a common idea, but it is untrue. Optimizing (ecu remapping) is a
popular method of increasing not only torque and power, but also mileage and
improving the road response of any car.
Chiptuning
of European cars is often a real challenge for Canadian tuners.
Different engine control units, sensors and even control loops hidden
inside the ECU software cause hesitation. Tune or not to tune?
Shakespeare had no car...
Over
400 years later past William's Victoria era, we live in a global
economy, where companies from Europe widely penetrate the US and
Canadian market. We can see, that tuning of European cars may be done
by divisions of European companies or tuners with knowledge gained
from these companies. This seems to be natural – Europeans tune
their cars, even in Canada or USA.
It
is not easy to catch all these car tuners, that want to be real (and not
self-learned) experts of European cars. They must travel across the
ocean to achieve the skill and knowledge that ensures quality and
results proven at the chassis dynamometer.
A
wise solution is to import and use a European chassis dynamometer.
They seem to be the best for European cars. The famous German MAHA
dynamometers seem to be a good solution for workshops. For purists
that prefer to measure cars without tires (to reduce friction
losses), Swedish Rototest is a perfect idea. For tuners, that seek
the convenience and precise measurement while maintaining
portability, Vtechdyno is the ideal solution - hundreds of European
tuners voted them to be highly accurate and with excellent
repeatability.
In
North America, only a few professionals have European dynamometers.
One of them is Tunexperts in the Vancouver area - they have a new
Vtechdyno VT- 2 chassis dynamometer.
