Jaguar XJ 3.0 D Tuning and Jaguar Remap development at Viezu

Tuesday, January 29th, 2013 by Viezu

Jaguar XJ 3.0 D Tuning and Remap development at Viezu

The Brand New Jaguar XJ 3.0 D was brought into our workshop for a remap with before and after rolling road (dyno) runs carried out. Jaguar engine tuning is something we are very familiar with and we set straight to work getting this stunning Jaguar 3.0 XJ strapped down on the dyno.
The Jaguar 3.0 XJ is smooth as silk, although you can see the inherent dip in the mid-range on the graph that is present on all of these Jaguar 3.0 diesel engines when being run on the rolling road (dyno). It is to do with the automatic gearbox and how it delivers the power on the dyno. On the road in real world conditions this does not exist, it is simply an anomaly that is present due to the auto box and the ‘kickdown’ software in the Jaguar XJ gearbox TCU (Transmission Control Unit).

With the Original run complete, we set about removing the Jaguar 3.0 diesel ECU from the vehicle in order to connect to it on the TriCore KTAG. This was a straight forward process as this is a very common ECU for us to come across.
With the data read from the Jaguar ecu micro-processer, we were able to remap and tune the Jaguar engine software.
A short time later and we uploaded the Viezu Performance Remap back to the Jaguar ECU and then the relatively quick process of re-installing the ECU into the 3.0 XJ was completed.

The modified runs showed a very smooth and progressive increase in power with a constant lift in the torque band.
The remap really transformed this 3.0 diesel Jaguar XJ as expected, and gave a tuned increase of 35 horsepower at the wheels with an increase across the torque band of 65nm at the wheels.

A dramatically improved car after the Viezu remap had been carried out and needless to say, a very satisfied customer with his performance tune on his Jaguar XJ 3.0 D.

Combat fuel duty rise with Blue Optimize – Fuel Economy Tuning

Combat fuel duty rise with Blue Optimize – Fuel Economy Tuning and Remapping

BT is just one company that is beating rising fuel prices by remapping its fleet of 24,000 vehicles

Fleet operators, businesses and private motorists worried about the prospect of even higher fuel bills in the New Year following the impending 3p fuel duty rise, can combat any hike in prices with Blue Optimize, a revolutionary engine remap service from Viezu.

Offering up to 20 per cent improvements in fuel economy, the award-winning ECU remapping service has been developed to rigorous ISO 9001 standards and can potentially save companies and fleet operators thousands of pounds in fuel bills.

“We’re already seeing drivers cut their mileage because of stubbornly high fuel prices. On top of that, millions of motorists, businesses and fleet operators now face a bleak New Year with the 3p per litre fuel duty rise.

“However, thanks to Blue Optimize there is a way of reducing running costs without changing driving habits or travelling less.

“Indeed, our revolutionary tuning service offers many benefits to motorists. Apart from delivering better fuel economy, Blue Optimize enables reduced CO2 emissions, smoother more progressive power delivery and torque improvements,” said Paul Busby, CEO, Viezu Technologies.

Nearly all production cars, 4×4’s and vans can benefit from Viezu’s economy tuning, the result of hundreds of hours research and development at the company’s global technical centre.

Among the leaders in its field, Viezu also provides bespoke vehicle tuning and ECU remapping services to some of the UK’s largest fleets. For example, the company is currently working with BT Fleet to deliver a series of major environmental, performance and financial improvements which, it is anticipated, will help BT save over £3 million.

The programme will see more than 20,000 of BT’s light commercial vehicles remapped using Viezu’s proprietary technology, to deliver better fuel consumption and reduced CO2 emissions, while also improving vehicle driveability.

“While drivers can’t directly influence the price they pay at the pump, Blue Optimize proves that there are significant steps that can be taken to fight back against the fuel duty rise in an attempt to return to more affordable motoring,” added Busby.

Car Tuning Software and ECU Remapping – With the Viezu Academy

Car Tuning software and ECU Remapping – make the right choice

 

The Viezu Training Academy is very busy at the moment with ECU remapping course and car tuning training . If you are interested in car tuning there are number of ways of getting onto tuning and ecu remapping.

The easiest and cheapest way is to take a “client” tuning system, this links you to a file writer and so you don’t have to write your own files. Its quick and easy and you can be tuning with just a few hours of free training. But you can’t use it to write your own files, simply supply those being written for you, many tuning companies operate like this and it does have some advantages, if you are looking for a quick start we can arrange this for you very easily.

Here is a link to a Viezu Academy training Video, it shows just how easy a client based tuning system can be to use  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EYyiuFRWhDg How do you tune your car – With Viezu!

Alternatively you can chose to learn to write tuning files and operate what is known as a master tuning system, the advantage here is that with training and time you can become a master file writer, writing your own software and offering a very custom service, master tuning tools do tend to be more expensive though and will need more in depth training to operate.  

The good news is at Viezu we can help you either way, we offer a huge range of tuning systems and tools, some of which can be switched from client to master when you are ready, so truly keeping your options open, allowing you to start as a client and when ready and trained move to a master tuning system. Our training assumes no prior knowledge of the subject and covers from the very beginning to advanced levels of tuning

Most master tuning system do include a free introduction session, but ultimately if you wish to write your own files, you will need some more in depth training, Viezu offer a range of 6 tuning courses. There are discounts for multiple course bookings and we run most courses most months

Once your training is completed you will be well on your way to being a confident file writer and tuner. You can see more details on the courses at www.remap101.com we are here to support you all the way.

We can offer excellent packages of tunings system, training, equipment and software to suit all budgets
