TUNING

The Benefits of Tuning Your Car’s Engine

Do you want your vehicle to run at its full potential? Consider the benefits of tuning your car’s engine for optimal performance and smoother driving.

When you tune a car’s engine, you’re altering the electronic system to benefit the vehicle for optimal performance. Tuning your car is a way to customize its engine, which could save you money by allowing for smoother handling and better fuel economy. In this article, we discuss the benefits a car owner could receive after making these adjustments to their vehicle.

More Horsepower vs Better Fuel Efficiency

One of the main reasons why someone should tune their car’s engine is to improve the vehicle’s horsepower. When you tune this component, you change the fuel delivery and ignition timing and boost pressure. If you’re adjusting the engine to create more horsepower, these settings will lower the car’s fuel efficiency. Because of this, you can either have more horsepower or better fuel efficiency, but you can’t have both. Consider what aspect you could benefit more from.

Increased Top Speed

Engine tuning can also allow for a higher top speed and faster turbo spooling time. After installing a new turbocharger, you’ll notice a quicker response when you press your foot on the accelerator. If speed and acceleration are concerns for you, you should know a turbocharged engine generates more torque. Consequently, the car has less lag between when you accelerate to when the engine spools.

Greater Resale Value

If a car has more power and is smoother to drive due to engine tuning, it instantly becomes more valuable. If you were to ever sell this car, you could receive a better payout because the engine is of a higher quality now. Not only could you benefit from tuning your car’s engine for driving, but you can benefit from it when you’re ready to sell the vehicle.

Driving Style Adjustability

Something to keep in mind when installing a performance tuner is that it will modify how you drive and navigate the vehicle. This is a good thing because chip tuning will help your car work better in various road conditions. Remember, your car will run differently after a tune-up. Therefore, you’ll need to adjust your driving style to reap the benefits of this performance enhancer.

Engine tuning can allow you to use your vehicle to its fullest potential. Other benefits from this practice include smoother acceleration, better torque delivery, and a cleaner fuel burn. It’s important to note that if your car has a warranty, tuning the engine could void it. Still, you should consider adjusting your engine for optimal performance.
