Chip tuning by yourself: the benefits of the process

Recently, the most popular way to refine the car was chip tuning. On the territory of Italy, Germany and other European countries, people have been engaged in this kind of tuning for decades. In many large cities of the countries Europe there is at least one atelier, the main specialization of which is to carry out this procedure.

But as far as domestic space is concerned, chip-tuning is more common here. True, there are attempts to reach a more or less professional level. The main task pursued by the chip tuning of the VAZ engine and other car brands is the change in the characteristics of the internal combustion engine.

Such transformations relate to power, torque, maximum speed, maximum crankshaft speed, and so on. And the process of debugging is done without mechanical interventions. Experts who make chip tuning with their own hands only affect the firmware of the special unit that controls the operation of the engine. This block is practically
A full-fledged computer with a microprocessor and memory, which ensure the execution of algorithms filled with firmware.

But sooner or later for drivers of cars with "brains" such procedure as
Tuning the engine with their own hands becomes a necessity, as a person gets used to everything and wants something new. The very term tuning implies an improvement, whereas chip-tuning, made by oneself, involves the improvement of the program prescribed in the computer. From such changes the machine will not suffer, and if something goes wrong, you can always return the standard firmware back.

This procedure has many advantages, among which:

- fuel economy, but the car does not start to burn gasoline less, just the engine has a power reserve, allowing the driver, without changing the style of driving, less to press the accelerator pedal ;

- Chip-tuning engine VAZ and other cars with a computer - this is the quickest and easiest way to "pump" the engine, compared to forcing;

- this procedure makes it possible to make driving around the city more comfortable,
Because the car gets new traction-speed characteristics;

- engine tuning, made or carried out in special workshops with the help of a chip, increases the chances of overtaking on highways where there is intense traffic;

- the car has the ability to move smoothly and easily even when fully loaded.

It is worth noting that on the Internet there are many articles on how to make chip-tuning own hands. Most drivers who carried out this kind of operations with their cars and their power units claimed that they took this step for several reasons: low car capacity, small acceleration, and low vehicle speed.
