Welcome to the new world of tuning, phone/tablet APP driven tuner that allows you to tune on the "GO". 

This is not like those shared Wi-Fi or Bluetooth tune tuning solutions that sends data via email or app to car, no no no. This is a secure tuning solution that stores the tunes on the device, verifies the integrity of the tune, then uses the phone as a user interface to the tuning module to make changes. For those of you that understand what this means, geek out :)

The model list is every expanding for the tuner, but... we at Tork Motorsports have taken the time to sort the basics of the tuner for each and every car we offer tuning services for, thus... you can expect dyno charts and through processing paperwork/emails for your make and model. 

We will not be limited to just the 1.6 turbo, so stay tuned for future model/engine release.

Power gains: 30 WHP if you have a mostly stock car (air box is the restricting factor). If you have a full bolt on car with E85 supporting mods... 70 to 80 WHP gains are possible. Bigger turbo, E85, methanol... 100 WHP, 200 WHP??? Here is the great thing about the Tork Motorsports tune, we have tuned everything to your 220 WHP stock Elantra Sport with no mods and 89 octane fuel, to... our 800 WHP shop drag car sporting 2500cc's secondary methanol fueling, and a 6466 PTE turbo. If you can build it, or let us build it... we can tune it. 

First and foremost, reliability is key in our tuning. It does not make a good business model to make "Full Send" tunes, that you only get to enjoy for the first 4 month and are having to do additional and much more expensive engine work. I will tell you when you are asking to much of the tuner, and will explain that "bad things happen" when you want to go further than XXX WHP or WTQ. If you can trust me, you will have a very long and happy life with your KDM car. 

Next... I am not your repair tech. I will help you, I will share my knowledge and experience with you if we run into problems while tuning. Tunes almost never and rarely screw up. 98% of the time you are going to have something wrong with the car. Why? Well, because that crank sensor with 111k miles on it is getting worn out, or that fuel pump with 85k miles of Kentucky fuel running thought it is probably bad by now. The reason your "stock tune" didn't have any problems is because your new tune increased the power out, added more boost, and more importantly is taxing those systems (fuel, spark, induction, exhaust) that support that additional power. These systems are not nearly taxed or pushed as hard on the stock tune. So please keep in mind, that tuning can sometimes come with a few headaches or may require replacement parts in order for you to enjoy the tune to the fullest. 

Here are our tuning details:

PLEASE NOTE, WHEN TUNING WITH US ITS ALL CUSTOM TUNING. WE ISSUE PARTS AND OCTANE LIMITS ON OUR TUNES THAT INDICATE THE "STAGE" THAT THE TUNE IS. BE IT "STAGE 1" OR "STAGE E85" ALL OUR TUNES ARE CUSTOM.

1. Look at how smooth it is. Compare this with our competitors' tunes.
2. Look at the power across the curve. Very linear, hold power to redline.
3. Torque onset, we delayed and slowed the torque path on initial boost gain. This will make sure the clutch lives a long and very happy life with our tunes. The DCT and even the manual clutches have been known to slip under hard torque spikes, and we figured out how to mitigate this torque onset.
4. Gain's... what is a tune if it doesn't have impressive gains 
5. Base ignition has been edited +0 to +5 degrees at torque onset to redline. This is a very conservative ignition number.
6. Boost pressure for this tune is currently 18 to 24 psi with attention being made on supporting mods that can support the given boost targets. 

Now, we have listened to the market and realized that their are a few changes to the tune (non performance oriented) that needed to be addressed. Here are the details for those.

1. Steering wheel location to torque output. Some have complained that when pulling out from a parked position and making a sharp right or left hand turn, throttle control is non-existent. There is a map for this function that addresses this odd throttle behavior.
2. Shift quality (DCT cars). Not very many know, but the shift quality is controlled by the ECU more so than the TCU. Shift quality being the time that it takes the torque to go away and come back from a shift. We have adjusted these maps primarily for full throttle shifting, but it's a linearized reduction all the way down to 18% throttle. These changes will allow the ECU to come into power quicker and with less clutch slip. Less clutch slip means longer life from the clutch (DCT only).

It's changes like these, that make a tune functional and enjoyable! As I have said before and more and more tuners across the nation are using this phrase. "Tuning at full throttle is easy, it's getting everything else right that takes time!"

Note: zero return policy on opened tuning solutions, if you sent us a file, you own the tuner.
