From the workshop
Recent workshop stories, project highlights and updates from Llandow Tuning.
The owner reported no noticeable change after paying for tuning elsewhere. Our power run showed stock output, and an ECU read showed a standard calibration with no changes. We discussed those findings with the owner. A…
Read storyAnyone can claim a map made a certain figure on another car. It means nothing unless it is proven on the vehicle itself. Does that always mean a dyno? Not necessarily. We often combine dyno testing with real world data…
Read storyOur equipment includes AutoHex, AVDI, BMW Explorer and genuine BMW ICOM interfaces with ISTA, including ISTA Online. DK Yellow Head and DIS support older systems. Work includes key adaptation, CAS/FEM and BCM work,…
Read storyWe checked airflow, fuelling, boost control and ignition during the custom calibration session. Changes were logged and refined on the car, and the final power figure was measured on the dyno. Workshop equipment:

Read storyWe measured the car on the rolling road alongside live engine logging. This allows repeatable power checks and investigation under load. Our previous Caterham and Lotus 7 work includes Ford Pinto, Crossflow, Duratec,…
Read storyRoad logging and workshop investigation pointed to inconsistent changes in the calibration. We reviewed the ECU software and corrected the areas we could identify. Power and drivability improved, although the work did…
Read storyWe developed the calibration on the car, monitoring boost, fuelling, airflow and ignition. The final power figure was measured on the dyno
Read storyWe developed custom Stage 1 calibrations for both units on the car, with logging and dyno testing. The session included a dyno printout. The advertised offer was £150 off engine tuning and half-price gearbox tuning,…
Read storyMade a whoppnig 300HP However, during the tests, we noticed a slight misfire when pushing under heavy load, particularly with a slow ramp-up. This indicates we might need a new coil pack to ensure optimal performance.…
Read storyWe developed and logged the calibration on the car, checking fuelling, boost and temperatures. The work focused on torque delivery and response through the gears
Read storyThe car arrived with fault codes and the MIL illuminated. We traced the issues to the EGR, intake flaps and DPF systems. The job took less than a day, and the owner used a courtesy car while it was in the workshop.…
