Unlock Your Vehicle’s True Potential with AMD Tuning


AMD Tuning: Mastering the Art and Science of Performance Enhancement

At AMD Tuning, performance is not just a metric; it’s our passion and our area of deep expertise. With a legacy stretching back to 1987, we have been at the vanguard of vehicle performance enhancement in the UK, offering a suite of specialised tuning services designed to elevate your driving experience. Our core offerings, ECU Remapping and Dyno Tuning, are executed with meticulous precision by our seasoned technicians, leveraging decades of experience and state-of-the-art technology to unlock the latent capabilities within your vehicle’s engine.

We understand that modern vehicles are complex machines, with sophisticated engine management systems controlling every aspect of their operation. Our approach to performance tuning is therefore both an art and a science – combining an intuitive understanding of engine dynamics with data-driven methodologies to achieve optimal results. Whether you drive a high-performance sports car, a powerful diesel, or a turbocharged daily driver, AMD Tuning has the expertise to safely and effectively enhance its power, torque, and overall responsiveness.

ECU Remapping: Bespoke Calibration for Peak Performance

Engine Control Unit (ECU) remapping is one of the most effective ways to transform your vehicle's performance characteristics. The ECU is essentially the brain of your engine, dictating parameters such as fuel injection timing, ignition timing, boost pressure (for turbocharged engines), and torque limits. Manufacturers often program ECUs with conservative settings to cater to a wide range of global markets, fuel qualities, and emissions regulations. This means there is often significant untapped potential within your engine.
AMD Tuning’s ECU remapping service involves carefully recalibrating these parameters to optimise your engine's performance for UK conditions and your specific requirements. Our process includes:
  1. Initial Consultation & Vehicle Assessment: We begin by discussing your performance goals and assessing your vehicle’s current condition, including any existing modifications.
  2. Baseline Dynamometer Testing: Before any modifications, we typically conduct a baseline run on our in-house rolling road dynamometer. This provides precise measurements of your vehicle's current power and torque output.
  3. ECU Data Extraction: We safely read the original software from your vehicle's ECU using specialised, non-invasive tools.
  4. Custom Map Development: This is where our expertise shines. Our experienced file writers meticulously analyse the original ECU data and develop a custom remap tailored to your vehicle’s engine type, existing hardware (e.g., performance exhaust, intake), and your desired outcomes (e.g., maximum power, improved mid-range torque, enhanced fuel economy for diesel vehicles).
  5. Software Installation: The optimised software is then carefully written back to your vehicle’s ECU.
  6. Post-Remap Dynamometer Testing & Data Logging: We conduct further dyno runs and live data logging to verify the performance gains, ensure all engine parameters are within safe limits, and fine-tune the map if necessary. You receive a printout showing the before and after power and torque curves.
Benefits of AMD Tuning ECU Remapping:
  • Increased Horsepower and Torque: Experience a significant improvement in acceleration and pulling power.
  • Enhanced Throttle Response: Enjoy a more immediate and engaging driving experience.
  • Improved Drivability: Smoother power delivery and a wider torque band make for a more flexible and enjoyable drive.
  • Potential Fuel Economy Gains (especially for turbo-diesel engines): Optimised engine efficiency can lead to reduced fuel consumption under normal driving conditions.
  • Tailored to Your Vehicle: Unlike generic “chip tuning” boxes or off-the-shelf files, our remaps are custom-developed for your specific vehicle and modifications.

Dyno Tuning: The Science of Verification and Optimisation

Our in-house rolling road dynamometer (dyno) is an indispensable tool in our performance tuning arsenal. It allows us to simulate various road conditions in a controlled workshop environment, providing precise, repeatable measurements of engine power, torque, and other vital parameters. AMD Tuning utilises its dyno for:
  • Accurate Performance Measurement: Establishing a clear baseline before tuning and verifying the exact gains achieved afterwards.
  • Safe Remap Development: Monitoring critical engine data (e.g., air-fuel ratios, exhaust gas temperatures, knock detection) in real-time during the tuning process ensures that all modifications are safe and reliable.
  • Diagnostics: Identifying and troubleshooting complex engine running issues that may not be apparent during on-road testing.
  • Optimisation of Hardware Upgrades: Ensuring that aftermarket performance parts (such as exhausts, intakes, or turbochargers) are working in harmony with the engine’s calibration for maximum benefit.
Investing in dyno-verified tuning at AMD Tuning means you are not just getting claimed figures; you are getting proven, measurable results backed by data.
