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.
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.
The ECU upgrade for the 2011 BMW M1 Coupe is now available, the result is 400hp 428lbs tq on a stock car. Tests will be carried out in a couple of weeks with a upgraded inter-cooler, we'll post the dyno sheet with this upgrade.
We can also remove the speed limiter on most software versions.
Again we were the first company in North America to offer this upgrade.
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.
Due to our work load we were unable to attend MFest this year, we finally tuned Chris of MFest's car on the Tuesday after. The gain on a stock E60 M5 is 32hp 24lbs tq using 91 octane. (He has also headers, etc)
We've been programming these cars since last September, this one was tuned for GI Motorsport in Los Angeles. GI Motorsport also installed a Akrapovic exhaust on the car. If you have any questions you can contact: GI Motorsport 11006 Santa Monica Blvd Los Angeles, CA 90025

The price is $2995 for the tune plus $500 for the ECU removal/installation.
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.
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.
We tuned a 2011 Mercedes E63 AMG for KarTunz today and again noticed Mercedes have changed the coding in the ECU. The file size is double of a regular E63. The gain on this car is 40+hp.
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.
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.
We now have the performance software upgrade for the Mercedes 63 AMG Twin Turbo, the upgrade takes the car to 600hp 663lbs tq with no other modifications. We are the first tuner in North America to offer this.
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.
