What is a Tunit?
The Tunit is an externally installed performance product suitable for
all modern diesel engines. Tunit is designed to improve power, torque
and efficiency, without compromising fuel economy. In most cases applications
will achieve a 7-10% saving on fuel. It is retro-fit and will not interfere
with original equipment or the manufacturers warranties. Installation
is usually a swift process of less than 30 minutes. Thanks to Tunit,
diesel tuning is possible to increase the performance of all modern
diesel vehicles by up to 30%.
You may appreciate your diesel vehicle for its fuel economy, but you
find it a little lacking in power! Or maybe you just want that bit of
extra get up and go. The Tunit has the solution! This innovative and
clever device provides a substantial increase in power and torque for
the amateur or serious performance user.
How it Works
All Tunits are specifically designed to achieve enhanced diesel performance
by modifying the fuel injection parameters and only by the careful interplay
of these values and characteristics can the optimum performance of your
engine be achieved. The turbo boost pressure is not directly altered
(on turbo models) by the Tunit and is only increased via the natural
increase in exhaust gases provided by the increased performance. The
design and development of the Tunit has come about by the collaboration
of some of the top minds in Europe and is the latest and most advanced
device available on the market today. Our ongoing development programme
ensures we keep up to date with the latest engine management and injection
systems.
Installation
Every Tunit is designed to be compact and lightweight, the smallest
being only 10cm across, the largest being 13.5cm. In most instances
the Tunit comes complete with original manufacturers plugs and connections.
An original quality harness to fit in-line is also provided. Most Tunits
are fitted in 10-20 minutes and all are designed to be easily installed
by people of average mechanical capability. If you prefer, we fit the
Tunit for you. Fitting is offered by our international network of world
wide distributors. Fitting is usually carried out in less than 20 minutes
Fitting at any of our distributors does include a try before you buy
so as you can be assured of the performance before you purchase. If
you wish to remove the Tunit for either fitting on another vehicle or
for any other reason it is just as easy.
Adjustable Tuning
Manual Adjustment - All Tunits are adjustable in one form or another.
This allows the Tunit to be individually matched to each and every characteristically
different vehicle. This can be very important as two cars the same may
not react and drive the same. i.e. one VW Golf 110 bhp may produce 105
bhp, the next Golf built on the same day may produce 115 bhp. For this
reason we have built in simple methods of reaching your optimum performance.
The Tunit V-CR, V-PD and V-VP models come pre set for the vehicle.Each
Tunit has a 9 position rotary switch. Each position will provide a different
power level. 1 is the lowest, 9 is the highest. The Tunit II, III and
IV also have a manual adjustment and require a simple adjustment on
installation to the vehicle.
Lap top Tune
The V-CR,V-VP & V-PD Tunits also have adjustable tuning via a lap
top. This is a form of tune uniquely introduced by our company. Lap
top tuning does considerably more than the manual adjustment. Once the
Tunit is installed you can actually sit in the drivers seat and the
Tunit can be re-programmed, by a Tunit distributor, as you drive along.
As well as an overall power increase, the power can be moved further
down or up the range and the power delivery can be varied to be smooth
or aggressive.
Another great advantage of this is that if you decide to enhance your
vehicle further, through maybe induction kits, intercoolers etc. you
can easily adjust the Tunit to match the new modification so the full
potential can be reached. With fixed map devices and chips this is not
possible and a new chip or device would be required.
*We recommend a lap top tune if you add other performance parts such
as intercooler and induction kit or if you have specific requirements
such as heavy towing or large loads.
What is achieved?
Immediately the increased power and torque can be felt. The throttle
response is improved and particularly low and mid range torque is vastly
improved, making the overall performance of the vehicle completely different.
When carrying loads and/or towing, the extra power is a also great
advantage. The overall drive becomes more pleasurable and the engine
in most instances runs smoother.
In independent tests and trials, results of 7-10% extra better fuel
economy have been achieved. This obviously varies from vehicle to vehicle
and application.
Warranty & Guarantee
The Tunit and its components comes with a full 3 year warranty. This
is transferable with the customer to another vehicle. The warranty can
be transferred to a separate customer by applying to Tunit with the
