What We Offer
Here at 2Bartuning we focus purely on Engine Management Tuning/Mapping, which involves optimising the car’s performance, drivability and reliability through programming of an aftermarket Engine Management System (EMS).
2Bartuning are a Freelance company which works around the world to provide Engine Calibrating on high performance cars in the motorsport world and for private individuals.
The main factors which are needed to make an engine run are Fuel, Compression and Ignition. We then Modify the Engine calibrations via the use of an EMS to create the best combustion possible. Optimising the Air/Fuel ratio, Cam timing, Manifold presures and the timing of the ignition are a main way of doing this, although lots of other factors play a key role.
Please note: Although 2Bartuning will aim to make the best possible power output via tuning we will never push an engine to its limits as we feel that it is better to lose say 20bhp than lose an engine a week later.
When carrying out mapping we always use three items of owm equipment but do specify that other equipment like sensors for monitoring manifold pressures, Fuel pressure etc
- Wideband Oxygen Sensor to measure the Air/Fuel ratio that the engine is producing.
- Knock Monitoring System to listen out for any pre ignition or detonation. The particular kit we use is a Knock Box. http://www.theknockbox.com.au/ as well as setup the EMS knock sensing system to work after calibration
- Laptop for connecting to the Engine Management System.
Another piece of equipment we try to use as much as possible is a dyno, which allows us better control of the engine state and the environment. This produces an overall better tune and is also a lot safer.
When working in the UK we always try to use the dyno at Surrey Rolling Road (www.Surreyrollingroad.co.uk) as we feel this setup is excellent for keeping engine temperatures at a minimum and also because it is an independent dyno, not owned by a tuning company - the figures are always as real as it will get.
You will not find any manipulating of the dyno here to produce ‘Pleasing’ figures like placing the dyno cell temperature sensor near the radiator or setting the calibration incorrectly.
