GIAC - Stage 1 ECU Power Upgrade

Chip tuning is the term commonly used to describe re-tuning the ECU (Electronic Control Unit). The ECU is re-programmed to re-calibrate for a change in engine dynamics, such as ignition timing, knock control, airflow increase, and air / fuel mixture. GIAC's engineers work extensively to test and monitor engine operation parameters using diagnostic tools. A vast array of data is collected and used by GIAC engineers to re-write ECU code using their own assembly algorithms and libraries and not using generic tuning programs.

Modern chip tuning methods from GIAC include serial programming, bench flashing and flashed chip switching. Serial programming is where the new software is electronically overwritten on the OEM software through the OBD2 diagnostic port. Bench flashing is the process by which the ECU can be plugged into a computer out of the car, for the chip to be electronically flashed-in. Chip switching allows the user to choose which program to run by using a handset plugged into the OBD2 port. Different programs would be desirable for example with high octane race gas.

GIAC has the tools, experience, knowledge and diligence to create software packages that will draw out the optimum performance in all BMW applications offered. Success is achieves with these platforms by spending the time with them on their in-house Mustang dyno, monitoring the performance, driveablilty, and a host of sensors and other parameters. All programs feature full recalibration for all driving conditions, which GIAC can replicate at their test facility in Irvine CA. GIAC's during development while using the Mustang dyno, GIAC can run emulators, scopes, serial diagnostic tools and air/fuel meters on a car while simulating driving it up and down hills, blast through a quarter mile race, or just run simple power pulls.

GIAC have been established in the BMW, AUDI, Porsche and VW industry for almost 10 years and support leading products in each market and designed with the most aggressive enthusiast in mind. Here are just a few of the items addressed during the tuning process.
