Custom Car Tuning
Give your car more power.
Big, costly branded ECU maps were the rage for many years.
Car owners used to pay top dollar for an overseas map that was good enough, but when it comes to tuning, having a custom ECU tune on an accurate dyno is essential.
With a dyno on-site, it enables us to data-log, correct all air-fuel ratio, measure critical ignition and exhaust data, and use various mapping permutations to achieve optimisation. Without open-band data logging on dyno, it is virtually impossible to achieve accurate readings.

Bench Tuning
The progressive car tuning method.
With the introduction of newer ECUs, and with car makers ‘locking’ up the OBDII port, bench tuning has become an essential way of programming.
Unlike the days where tuners had to solder on & off the “legs” of the ECU chip, modern bench tuning is as simple as touching the “legs” with pins for instant reading and writing. This eliminates the dreaded ‘burnt’ ECU situation as no more soldering is involved. Bench tuning also enables us to restore full dealer code so that customers enjoy their full warranty entitlement, without the detection of the dreaded ‘ecu programming counter jump’ normally associated with OBD tuning.
Bench tuning has become a safe and reliable method. Essentially there is no difference between tuning a car via the OBD port or Bench Tuning. It’s only the delivery mode of the tuned map that’s different.
OBD Tuning
The least labour-intensive car tuning process.
Most cars manufactured after 2000 allows direct access to the ECU via the OBDII port for diagnostic and reprogramming. This is the most preferred way of tuning as it is the quickest and least labour intensive.
ECU Remapping
Feed new life into your ride.
The ECU, the brain of a vehicle, is a small computer that controls how a car functions. Interestingly – did you know that your car’s ECU is detuned before it gets exported? Manufacturers do this because every country’s driving regulations, petrol quality and climate are different. Typically, detuning of the ECU sets it at a default level for exportation while at the same time lowering the power of a car.
A remap of the ECU optimises your vehicle’s performance in terms of power, drivability and fuel economy. This process brings out the true potential of your car’s engine. Not to worry – it’s legal – and in many cases reversible (varies from car to car).
Two types of ECU Remapping
Performance Tuning
More power, more torque.
Achieve more power and more torque, with Monster Tune’s performance tuning. Experience an enhanced and sharper throttle response, with a smoother and more progressive delivery of power.
Performance tunes are reliable and safe, and can improve fuel economy by up to 10%. Enjoy improved MPG-reduced emissions as well.
Race Tuning
Get more speed on the racetrack.
Maximise torque and horsepower upgrade, with a custom-tune tailored to any specific track requirement. With the removal of RPM and speed-limiter, Monster Tune’s race tune works well with all after-market modifications and add-ons.
