The Dirty Side To Tuning

2010-03-18T22:49:00.000-07:00

I'm writing this after having a funny experience earlier this week (Monday).

A couple of weeks ago me and a business associate went to see a renown BMW tuner in Morgan Hill after being told by my customers that inter coolers and other accessories we're now available for the X6 50i.

When we got to their facility we asked the gentleman behind the front desk what was available for the X6 50i and his reply was, nothing at the moment but they we're working on some stuff. For those of you who have been to this company you will know there's a glass window which separates the front desk area and the workshop.

During the conversation I noticed a metallic black X6 50i which had stock gun metal coloured wheels and Texas plates, while looking at this car the gentleman from behind the desk said that this car had been brought to their facility from Texas.

The VP and the sales manager of this company came out from a separate office while I was talking to the gentleman behind the desk and said "Singh Autosport" and I replied "yes". I then introduced myself and Goshan from ESP. We talked about ECU tuning and they said they still didn't have anything for the X6 50i or X5M/X6M.

We started talking about horse power gains and I told them I stand behind my product, I also mentioned we get 32hp from a E60 M5 while everyone else gets 5-10hp. The M5 and M6 have been tested time and time again.

We've had a lot of their customers come to us in the past, they've always complained that this company has very little knowledge of whats new with regards to ECU tuning.

After showing us a new intake for the 135i BMW which is due to be released soon and another conversation about how they weren't able to programme the new 135i/335i/535i BMW's, we left. Before I left I said if they needed help with tuning we could tune the cars for them, this is something we never do but I said it as a kind gesture.

2 weeks later I got a call on Monday morning (03.15.10) around 10am from a gentleman who said he had a X6 50i and he wanted to get it programmed. The call was from a 408 number. I told him I was actually in town and said to come to the Fremont office.

We were working on a 2010 Audi S4 in the back of the shop and this Indian guy walked in. He introduced himself and said he called regarding the X6 50i. We went out for a test drive in my X6 50i and then returned to the back of my shop, his car was parked at the front.

I asked if we could see his car and he agreed, when I looked at his car I noticed it was the X6 50i which I saw at the workshop in Morgan Hill... exact car with the Texas plates. I then got suspicious because a lot of tuners who have no knowledge of tuning always try to steal other tuners files so I asked the gentleman if that car was at the facility in Morgan Hill... he ignored the question so I said "this car is from that tuner in Morgan Hill" and he said yes it was. He then told me the car had been there for 4 months and the tuner in Morgan Hill wasn't able to tune it.

The fact that he lied to me I started to talk crap about the company in Morgan Hill and he got really defensive. We went on a short test drive and when we returned we went to the back of my shop. I asked him if I could test drive his car and he agreed. Once I jumped in the drivers seat I noticed a picture of a young white girl next to a pair of brown shades, she looked between 3-5 years old (I don't have any kids so I wouldn't know her exact age). As my suspicion grew more and more I asked this Indian guy if he was married and he replied no, I then asked if he had kids and he had realized I've seen the picture of the young white girl to which he replied "you know how it is" and I replied "no I don't know, tell me". He continued with his lies and at this point my mind switched off.

When we pulled to the back of my shop I asked if he was from that company in Morgan Hill and he didn't reply... , I then asked if I could look around his car and he got defensive again and said "NO" to which I told him to leave and go back to where he just came from.

We found this funny to see how a company which most people recognize in North America with BMW tuning could behave this way.

We programmed this 2010 McLaren SLR the otherday. The customer didn't want to change the crankshaft pulley so we just programmed the ECU and TCU.

Exhaust Recommendations

2010-02-27T17:31:00.000-08:00

We get asked all the time about exhausts/headers, etc. so I'm going to give you my thoughts and recommendations.

Audi/VW = Milltek

BMW = Supersprint

Exotics = Capristo or Quicksilver

Here is a picture of the Supersprint headers for the BMW M5. You can see the excellent build quality and these give you real power gains, that's why they're used and recommended by the best BMW tuners in the world.

With Supersprint headers, you'll never get a check engine light. Even though the 02 sensors can be disabled, it's not recommended. Every sensor in a car has a purpose.

VW CC 2010 Tuning

2010-02-14T14:42:00.000-08:00

We tuned this VW CC 2010 a while ago, from what we know it was the first VW CC 2010 to be tuned in North America.

Wheels were supplied by DP Engineering. The car will be featured in the April 2010 issue of Euro Tuner.

Live Tuning?

2010-02-10T21:37:00.001-08:00

I’ve always found this a hilarious subject. You’ll find a lot of tuners who offer ‘Live Tuning’ (they’ll offer to tune your car on a dyno).

I just want to explain something without getting too technical. If you’ve had or are considering getting your car tuned on a dyno, make sure the person tuning the car also has your vehicles factory diagnostic computer.

I’ve come across too many ‘Muppets’ in my time who will ‘rant and rave’ about their knowledge, or how they know how tune a car a dyno. Ok, first of all I just want to clarify that every car has to be tested on a dyno before a tuned file can created.

So many dyno's out here are incorrect so, if your dyno isn’t measuring correctly and your tuner has tuned your car on that dyno knowing very well that the dyno is incorrect then guess what?? Your car isn’t tuned properly. What starts off on the wrong foot, you know where I’m going with this. The correct way to create a file is to use a dyno which measures correctly. If your not happy with the results, delete the adaptation values using the factory diagnostic computer (BMW = GT1, Mercedes = Mercedes Star Diagnosis, Ferrari SD2/3, etc) and start again. For example we were like with many cars in North America the first company to programme the BMW M5 E60. After programming the car we then connected the GT1 to see how long it would take for the car to go through its adaptation period, the result was 105.4 miles. What this means is once your M5 has been programmed it will take that many miles for the file to fully adapt, even though you’ll feel the gain right away (the car will get faster and faster as it goes through this stage).

Some tuners will swear that the car adapts right away, we all know that’s nonsense. When we create a file for a car, yes we do use a dyno but we also road test it too. Different climate and weather conditions are important factors to consider, you don’t want a car that shows high numbers on the dyno but yet drives very poorly on the road.

Common sense would tell us that we should feel and see the power gains as oppose to framing your dyno sheet and having you’re a*& handed to you at the races or traffic lights.

A flashback... to 1993

2010-02-05T13:02:00.000-08:00

While packing for the move to Los Angeles I found some old car magazines. We use to do a lot of engine work back then and we once installed a BMW M5 engine into a 7 series back in 1993. We used the original wiring loom, ECU, instrument cluster, etc., from the M5. We called it the M7 and had coverage from all the major magazines, I got that car up to 172mph and it still kept going. Some of you guys might find it funny but 18" wheels were the 'in thing' back then.

I'll also try to find some pictures or articles of us working with Cosworth engines in 1990. Even though the company was only registered 6 years ago in North America, the owners of Singh Autosport have been around since the days of Turbo Systems, Turbo Technics, Dewitts Race & Rally, BBR and not forgetting Connaught Design.

Piggyback Systems/Handheld Programmers/Flux Capacitors

2010-02-03T15:52:00.001-08:00

Singh Autosport receives a lot of inquiries regarding piggyback systems/handheld devices; so I will gladly address that topic.

First of all, I would like to state that any self-respecting European car owner would never use a piggyback/handheld programming device.

To use such a contraption is the equivalent to taking a “stab in the dark”. More often than not, they can be found and purchased on eBay, an online car forum or your local flea market. These piggyback units only trick the sensors in the car. Companies that manufacture such devices have very limited or next to no knowledge of what tuning really entails. Owners of such units will scream and shout that they can take their car to a dealership, and by removing the device; no one will know it was ever installed; wrong! Normal telltale signs are blown engines, injectors and turbo’s. Companies like BMW are now fully aware, and are able to check the vehicles shadow memory.

The suppliers of such boxes blame the manufacture’s components. A typical response is: “BMW parts are poorly made, blah blah blah”. No, perhaps it’s the contraption that you installed. Why do the manufactures of these units include OBD2 readers so you can delete engine codes? Owners of such contraptions will argue that if BMW updated the vehicle, the tuned file would be overwritten. Having updated software in your BMW isn’t a bad thing, and if the tuner can make the car run better after the update --then why not?

When tuning a car the “proper” way, you can raise the RPM, remove the speed limiter/hesitation/flat spots, adjust shifting, switch off the 02 sensors and much more. Someone who can tune the car correctly can offer these options to a customer.

Do you ever stop and wonder why the best tuners in world don’t offer these units? In fact, why don’t dealerships sell such units? If gaining power from a car was as easy as plugging in a little device, then life would be much easier… or maybe… just maybe some of the best engineers in the world know more than the boys at the car meets or forums.

Some boxes have something like 100 different files inside (relax I’m exaggerating); in this industry we refer to that as guess work, and as I mentioned earlier, “a stab in the dark”.

Tuning the car via OBD2 or bench flashing the ECU is the safest way. How safe is it? We do it for most dealerships. Singh Autosport works very closely with a lot of dealerships, ranging from Aston Martin, Bugatti, and Lamborghini. Having been in this industry for nearly twenty years, I think we can say we know what we're talking about.

Expansion to Los Angeles

2010-01-27T19:56:00.000-08:00

Singh Autosport is proud to announce that we now offer a full time mobile tuning service in the Greater Los Angeles Area. With an increase in demand, and the expansion of our business, we now offer a mobile tuning service; until we decide upon a location for a shop.

In addition, we are also considering building a state of the art dyno facility in Los Angeles, it all depends on if we can make it work with our workload. We have seen too many dyno setups which are just a total embarrassment to the tuning industry.

We'll keep you posted.

Bentley Continental Supersports

2010-01-27T19:47:00.000-08:00

Singh Autosport once again is the first company to programme the new Bentley Continental Supersports. Even though the car is faster than a Continental GT from the factory, it actually has less power than a regular GT in the lower gears.

Forum Politics?

2010-01-27T19:37:00.000-08:00

Forum administrators allow the promotion of products that don’t necessarily work purely because the company providing the product is a sponsor. Forum subscribers are like sheep that follow the flock; they take these forums as gospel. They assume that the administrators and other members have their best interests at heart but in reality it’s all a numbers game. The administrators cater to their sponsors and the subscribers are kept in line by deletion of new and innovative companies and products if they are not directly sponsoring the forum. The reason why companies such as ours do not support forums is its not an open board for discussion as it is promoted to be. It’s only an open discussion for those who put money in the forum administrator’s pocket. This is a purely political domain - if you play the game then you get the recognition. We believe as a company that there is a lot of false advertising in this industry that gives this industry a bad name. Forums will help sell their contributors products with full knowledge that they do not work. These people have only their wallets on their minds not their subscriber’s vehicle’s performance.

Sometimes it surprises me how these ‘tuners’ have time to even be involved in a forum discussion? Don’t they have work to do? We barely get time to respond to emails let alone discuss the weight of the lug nuts on a BMW.

Mini Cooper Turbo

2009-12-05T13:57:00.000-08:00

I have attached the dyno sheet for the Mini Cooper Turbo. The gain is 32.9hp 66lbs tq.

The car had cooling issues so the intercooler had to be upgraded.

BMW E60 M5 dyno

2009-11-17T15:08:00.001-08:00

I have attached a dyno sheet for the BMW E60 M5. The car was tested using 91 octane by Eurorev of Inglewood. It was tested by an independent dyno facility which is not affiliated with any European car tuner.

The gain is 32hp 24lbs tq, the only mod the car had was an ECU upgrade. The dyno result might seem high but our UK office see's gains of 42hp +, these numbers are normal for a good tuner.

If your stock M5 is reading less than 440-450hp, you might want to consider using a different dyno.

If you pair this tune up with the European Launch Control then you'll have a serious beast on your hands.

BMW X5M / X6M Performance Software

2009-11-16T14:30:00.000-08:00

The ECU tune for the BMW X5M and X6M is available. The gain on this engine is 45hp. With the upgrade we can also remove the speed limiter/hesitation/flat spots, etc, etc.

While other tuner's are still struggling to finish the X6 50i, we finished the 'M' version a while ago.

The white X6 50i behind the X5M is one of our new demo vehicles.

Singh Autosport will be paying a visit to DC and NY within the next 3 or 4 weeks. Customer's who are interested in getting their cars programmed can email us so we can arrange to set up a time and place.

Porsche Carrera GT

2009-10-05T10:31:00.000-07:00

This Porsche Carrera GT was done for Eurorev in Inglewood, CA. The gain on the Carrera GT is 40hp 45lb tq.

Lamborghini LP640

2009-09-29T19:22:00.000-07:00

Here are pictures of a Lamborghini LP640 we programmed for Eurorev in LA. The gain on a LP640 is 41hp 44lbs tq and as per Lamborghini of Beverly Hills its the fastest LP640 they've driven.

2009-09-02T10:21:00.000-07:00

The ECU upgrade is now available for the Dodge Caliber SRT4.

The gain is 58.6hp 50lb tq.

Bugatti Veyron Performance Software

2009-08-30T15:06:00.000-07:00

ECU performance software for the Bugatti Veyron is now available. The only way to programme it is by bench flashing the ECU's.

The gains are approximately 200hp, the car is impossible to test on a dyno (it was tried twice and both times it retarded the dyno). The car was then tested on a track using various testing equipment, the average results were 200hp.

Bentley GT/GTC/Flying Spur Speed 2010

2009-08-15T12:49:00.000-07:00

We programmed a 2010 Bentley GTC Speed for Eurorev in LA, Bentley has changed the coding on their new cars (its completely different to a 2008 or early 2009 Speed). After approaching a number of tuners Eurorev asked if we could do it for them. It took us a couple of hours to figure it out but we got it done, the first 2010 to be programmed in North America. The car belonged to O'Gara Coach Company .

This is the first car we have programmed for Eurorev.

Audi R8 V10 Performance Software

2009-08-05T23:41:00.000-07:00

The Audi R8 V10 ECU upgrade is available, we completed this car a while back. The gain is 45hp!! We can also turn the exhaust volume up in 2nd/3rd gear.

We can either bench flash the ECU's or programme the car via OBD2.

It has a de-tuned Lamborghini Gallardo engine.

BMW X6 50i Performance Software

2009-07-30T20:11:00.000-07:00

Just to let our customers know we can now tune the BMW X6 50i. The ECU can be bench flashed or we can programme the car via OBD2 (on board diagnostic port).

We got 80hp and took the car to 516 lbs tq. Once again we were the first company in NA to complete this car.

I'll attach the dyno sheet soon.

Very quick car!!

Trip to Mexico July 2009

2009-07-14T19:07:00.000-07:00

We just got back from Mexico last Friday and I thought I'd post picture's of some of the car's we worked on.

Ferrari F599 GTB, Ferrari F430, BMW M6, Mercedes CL65 AMG, Porsche Cayman, etc.

Singh Autosport dominate the tuning industry in Mexico with our partners out there RR Motorworks.

BMW M3/M5/M6 can now be programmed via OBD2

2009-07-13T12:13:00.000-07:00

The BMW M3/M5/M6 can now be programmed via OBD2. We first started programming the M5's back in 2005 and the only way it could be done was by removing the ECU and bench flashing the processors.

Now that we can programme them via OBD2 it only takes a couple of minutes for the download/upload.

Having spoken to the driver of this car he said there is huge difference in the power and shifting on this car, theres no more delay when changing gears.

This car was programmed for Sonic MS of Mountain View.

For the owners who track their cars we can also disable the O2 sensors if you have a cat-less exhaust system.

Lamborghini Gallardo and Murcielago cat bypass pipes?

2009-06-09T15:39:00.000-07:00

Just to let the Lamborghini Gallardo and Murcielago owners know who are using cat bypass pipes that we can disable the oxygen sensors when programming the ecu's. This service can not be done by mailorder (unless its the LP560 or a car with the ME9 ECU), we have to physically work on the car. This gets rid of the annoying check engine light.

Another visit to Mexico

2009-05-20T12:42:00.000-07:00

We paid another visit to Mexico last week, without a doubt the exotic car market is growing in Mexico. We have a huge clientele in Mexico and Singh Autosport is a very well respected company amoungst some of the very important figures there. Its not strange to hear of someone with a Bugatti Veyron, Enzo FXX, Rolls Royce Phantom, LP640, SLR722, etc, etc.

As the market continues to grow there, Singh Autosport will be paying regular visits. Mexico has had a lot of negative publicity lately but us as a company know we don't have anything to worry about when we visit there.

The contact in Mexico is RR Motorworks.

Ferrari 575 Pininfarina

2009-05-08T18:32:00.000-07:00

Here at Singh Autosport it's hard for us to post pictures of every car we work on so we try to post some cars that we don't come across everyday. The Ferrari 575 Pininfarina. It's a great car and like all exotic's there is plenty of room for improvement. You probably hear some exotic car owners saying their car is tuned for maximum performance from the factory and those of us who know better just stay quiet because there's certain topics that should be avoided like politic's, religion, music, de-tuning of a vehicle, etc, etc.

When a car owner gets his car programmed its like seperating the men from the boys, those who 'drive' their car and those who just want to be seen in it.

This car was programmed for EMC Collision of Fremont, CA.

Mercedes SL65 AMG Black Series

2009-04-28T11:03:00.000-07:00

We now offer the performance software upgrades for the Mercedes SL65 AMG Black Series, for the ECU (engine control unit) and TCU (transmission control unit). It is a very difficult car to test on the dyno, the highest gain was just over 41hp (we're sure its more though).

'Full Manual' Option For Mercedes 55AMG/600 and 65AMG Transmission

2009-04-28T09:55:00.000-07:00

For all the Mercedes 55AMG/600/65AMG driver's we offer a 'Full Manual' option. When you select the manual option the car 'will not' upshift for you even if you redline the car.

This option can be requested when we programme the transmission control unit (TCU).

Again we were the first company to offer this option in North America, we've been doing it for a while now.

2009 Porsche 997 C2 SDI-3 ECU

2009-02-25T19:28:00.000-08:00

Just to let the Porsche owners know that Porsche have been changing their choice of ECU's for a while now. We programmed a 2009 Porsche 997 C2 a couple of weeks ago and it had a SDI-3 ECU, the only way we could programme this ECU was to remove it and bench flash it. All the new ECU's don't have eproms anymore, they now use processors.

The Porsche Cayenne 4.8TT and the Cayenne GTS use the SDI-4.

Audi R8 ‘Titan’ Sports Exhaust - A Titanium Silencer reduces exhaust weight by 41 lbs

2009-02-25T19:19:00.000-08:00

A Supercar sound may be the main reason most drivers choose a Sports Exhaust system for their Audi R8.

With QuickSilver they will also appreciate the performance benefits and, in particular, the huge weight saving of over 18 kgs (40lbs), taken from the very rear of the car.

Most R8 owners will have bought their car for fun and so behind the wheel they will enjoy an enhanced experience, the sound being such an important part of driving a high performance sportscar.

The rise and fall through the gears the blips on down-change, the pops on the overrun – all add to the fun.

The QuickSilver system has a Titanium silencer and thin-gauge stainless steel tube to achieve a combination of the lightest possible weight with strength and durability.

At lower engine speeds it produces a wonderful deep tone, with volume and pitch increasing in direct proportion to rpm climaxing in a robust racecar howl at the red line.

QuickSilver enable personalisation of sound & appearance and an improvement in performance by using components and materials that are more expensive than the OE specification.

The QuickSilver system is a ‘bolt on’ fit, designed to complement the original specification without compromising emissions or reliability. It comes with QuickSilver’s usual 25 year guarantee.

Original Weight is 63 lbs QuickSilver is 22 lbs
Original Sound is 98 dB QuickSilver is 105 dB
Orginal Power is 414 bhp QuickSilver is 424 bhp

Audi 2.0TSFI with the MED17 ECU

2009-02-18T13:06:00.000-08:00

As many of you guys out there know companies like the VAG group are always changing ECU's, etc.

The new Audi 2.0TSFI has a MED17 ECU, as many will hate to admit it but we were the first company in North America to programme this engine control unit.

The gains on this engine are 39.7hp and 28lbs tq. (tq is much higher, its just a hard car to measure).
