Bentley Supersport Tuned

We programmed the first Bentley Supersport for the biggest Bentley dealership in the world along time ago but never took any pictures. We have programmed many since and done another one this morning at GI Motorsport of Los Angeles.



2012 Bentley GT Tuned

Yesterday we were given the pleasure of tuning the first 2012 Bentley GT in the world. The car was programmed at GI Motorsport in Los Angeles. The results were amazing.

There was no checksum available for this car and like on many occasion's it had to be made for us.

GI Motorsport of Los Angeles

A couple of weeks ago we had programmed another Mercedes SLS AMG at GI Motorsport in Los Angeles, this car will also have the full Brabus kit installed. GI Motorsport is not like your regular 'aftermarket shop', unlike most shops GI is very performance focused.

We work with all of the biggest shops/dealerships in North America and working with GI Motorsport is a reminder of what a 'aftermarket shop' should be.




Jim Dunphy of Brabus USA delivered the parts in person while we were tuning the car.

2010 V6 Camaro ECU Upgrade

I should have mentioned this a while back that we have the ECU upgrade for the 2010 V6 Camaro. We can add power, raise the rpm, improve the shifting, etc but we can't remove the speed limiter.

This car was programmed for Eurorev in Inglewood, Los Angeles.

5.0 Supercharged Jaguar/Range Rover Pulley

I recently had a customer ask if the pulley on a 5.0 Jaguar was welded on, he was told it was by a Jaguar tech.

The answer is no, it is pressed on.

We have special removal tools to remove the pulley, you can purchase these or borrow them when you purchase the upgrade.

Bugatti Veyron Tuning Via OBD2

For all our Bugatti Veyron customers, we can now program the car via OBD2 (vehicle diagnostic port). No more messing around removing the car panels, I should have posted this last summer.

The gain is 240hp.

2011 Mercedes SLS 63AMG

We programmed a 2011 Mercedes SLS 63AMG this week and noticed Mercedes had changed the coding in the ECU on the 2011. It took a little more time than usual to program it (3 hours) but we got it finished.

We programmed the first SLS 63AMG in May 2010 and have done many since.

SEMA 2010 (and summer)

I just want to start by apologizing to our customers. When summer comes round and just before SEMA we get extremely busy, we will get through all the emails and the cars waiting.

A week before SEMA we were at WTW Corp Santa Fe Springs and time was against us to finish these cars, I'll make time soon and will blog about it.




Goshan from ESP Tuning helping out.
