Data Logging
Professional Data Capture
We utilize professional-grade tools to record critical live data from your vehicle under real-world driving conditions. Our methodical approach ensures we capture a precise and comprehensive data log, which is the essential first step in any effective tuning or diagnostic process.
Expert Analysis
Our tuners specialize in analyzing complex data logs to identify and resolve performance issues that are not visible to the eye. We translate the raw data into actionable insights, providing you with a clear and accurate diagnosis.
Tailored Solutions
Once we have identified the root cause of any issues, we provide a detailed report and professional recommendations for a tailored solution. Our dedicated support team will guide you through the findings and answer any questions you may have.
A well-tuned vehicle requires a complete health check to ensure it performs at its best and remains reliable. Our data analysis services provide an in-depth look into both your Engine Control Unit (ECU) and Transmission Control Module (TCM) to give you peace of mind.
ECU Data Analysis & Detonation Detection
Modern ECUs operate on complex algorithms that make real-time adjustments based on numerous sensor inputs. For a tuned car with significant power changes, the ECU works with subsequent maps to manage performance. Our data analysis focuses on detecting critical issues like detonation, a destructive force caused by the air-fuel mixture burning unevenly.
Modern ECUs are equipped with numerous failsafe modes designed to protect the engine from catastrophic failure.
These complex algorithms operate in milliseconds, using sensor data to make instant changes to fuelling and ignition spark. For example, due to the boxer layout of the Subaru motor, there is an inherent lean spot between 2800 RPM and 4000 RPM. To counter this, Subaru's unique solution is the Ignition Multiplier Map, which automatically adjusts timing to protect the engine from detonation.
We are able to analyse your ECU's data logs to find discrepancies in your actual versus commanded Air Fuel Ratios, a critical metric for a healthy tune. This detailed logging allows us to make small, precise tuning increments, which, while sometimes feeling like a loss of power, is the safest and most effective way to optimize your vehicle's performance and longevity.
TCM Data Analysis & Health Checks
The health of your automatic transmission is just as important as your engine, especially in a tuned vehicle. The TCM is a specialized computer that controls the transmission's behaviour, including shift points and pressures.
Most modern TCMs have adaptive learning capabilities, where they continuously adjust to your driving habits. We analyse your TCM's data to ensure that shift points are optimized for your driving style and that the adaptive learning is functioning correctly.
