Recent workshop stories, project highlights and updates from Llandow Tuning.
We develop Focus ST calibrations in-house and test them on the dyno. The figures quoted here are 245HP stock and 280–320HP for Stage 1 or Stage 2, depending on the fitted modifications. They are a range for different…
Read storyPower increased from 322HP in stock form to 431HP after our custom Stage 1 tune. We also adjusted torque delivery and throttle response during the session
Read storyEach Calibration is as always tested and data logged. We try and get it right first time every time, but when a tweak is needed we're always here to help. OTS Maps? Well We think a decent custom tune is better, but…
Read storyThis naturally aspirated car came in for a custom remap and exhaust work. We concentrated on its response higher in the rev range
Read storyDo you reckon they could read and write an ECU without the help from some tool? (yes we use the same tools, but not always) I could probably tidy up my electronics bench (this is a lifelong issue lol). Note the surface…
Read storyCustomers have asked us about claims that polishing piston bowls reduces cracking, changes compression or improves fuel economy. Those are different claims and need different evidence. I bought and read SAE paper…
Read storyWork covered engine output, the torque curve and gearbox calibration for quicker shifts. The aim was to make the power more usable across the rev range for rally use
Read storyWe developed a custom Stage 1 calibration for this car, adjusting torque delivery and throttle response
Read storyWe developed the ECU calibration on the car, checking power, torque delivery and throttle response during the dyno session
Read storyOther garage £800 to fix it and its full of ash! Yep and its still broke! No chemical cleaning on the car is going to fix the ash stuck in the DPF! Don't fall in to the "DPF Clean" trap where you pay a lot of money to…
Read storyThe offer covers a basic scan, a printout and a consultation about the next step for engine, MIL, DPF, EGR or AdBlue concerns. Detailed diagnosis and repairs are separate work. It applies to standard vehicles built…
Read storyThe exhaust clamp had been fitted incorrectly, allowing gases to escape. We corrected it on the lift. The van also had limp mode, smoke, poor power and dashboard warnings. Comparing the calibration with stock and a…
