Resumen

¿Qué necesito para empezar a tunear? Para empezar, solo voy a hablar del software. George me ha hecho algunas preguntas, así que las responderé primero. En cuanto al software necesario para empezar a tunear, George lo menciona en su pregunta: depende mucho del coche que quieras tunear.

00:00 - George has asked, what do I need to start tuning? Software, for a start I'm just gonna deal with, there's a few questions here that George has asked, so I'm gonna deal with those first.
00:12 So in terms of the software that you need to start tuning, George has actually got this here in his question, it's very dependent on the car that you wanna tune.
00:20 So there's no one overall, or universal software package that you can use for tuning every car which is a little bit unfortunate.
00:29 George's question is actually based on the Audi S3 which unfortunately here in New Zealand our exposure to European tuning is a little bit limited.
00:38 So I'm not really able to answer exactly what options are best for an Audi S3 unfortunately.
00:44 But essentially you've got two options when it comes to tuning a car.
00:48 Either on a late model car you can look for software that's going to allow you to retune your factory ECU.
00:54 Or if you've got a car that's supported, you may be able to fit a standalone aftermarket ECU.
01:00 So once you've got a way of actually making tuning changes, regardless whether it's an aftermarket ECU or you're reflashing, there's another couple of aspects you're going to need and that includes an air fuel ratio meter, a wide band air fuel ratio meter.
01:15 So you can actually see what the air fuel ratio is doing.
01:18 This needs to be installed in the exhaust of the car.
01:20 You're going to need a laptop for making these tuning changes, obviously something that's portable is essential for a car.
01:26 And it's also really important to have some way of monitoring or sensing for knock or detonation.
01:33 And I do this using audio knock detection equipment.
01:36 So really that's the sort of key elements you're going to need there.
