Let’s, first of all, dispel some myths about dyno tuning, when it comes to a production car with a standard ECU (Engine Control Unit) there is no such thing as live tuning, a live remap, or even dyno tuning whilst the vehicle is running. Adjusting the vehicle’s software whilst on a rolling road (chassis dyno) is physically impossible (with the rare exception of specialised piggyback ECUs or emulators) and can only be carried out when the vehicle is stationary with the engine not running, however, I often see misleading marketing that suggests otherwise. A chassis dyno (rolling road), is simply a device used for measuring the power output (specifically force, torque or horsepower) from an engine, it’s essential when developing a true custom tune for a vehicle and can take several days to do so, during this time they would also be data logging air-fuel ratios, engine knock, boost, exhaust gas temperatures and so on.. BUT this is very specialist work and very few companies actually do custom tunes regardless of if they have a dyno or not. More often than not they offer a remap with before and after dyno runs (referred to as pulls), and are agents to the very same trusted companies that provide a file writing service to companies like ourselves, simply because most of us could not afford or wish to pay the labour to have our vehicle truly custom-tuned, plus it’d be foolish to do so, as the benefits would be minimal if no hardware changes had been made. Actually, there is an awful lot of hypocrisy within the industry, but you have to remember that these companies are playing to their strengths to win sales, after all, they are first and foremost in business to make money. These very same companies who in one video advocate only having your vehicle tuned on a dyno, then offer mobile tuning and have another arm to their business selling files to users slaved to them, doing exactly the opposite of what they preach, it’s hypocrisy at its finest to generate income from both sides of the coin. Certainly, for Stage 1 Tuning (a tune that doesn’t require any physical hardware modifications) 99% of end-users will be delighted with the results from having their vehicle tuned without the hassle of a dyno run, with a BIG caveat, this being that the company employed to undertake the file writing on behalf of the person doing the ECU programming are not some obscure company providing budget low-end files, or even as seen recently, people buying files off eBay, or worse, having a go at the roadside themselves! So provided the company carrying out the ECU programming have access to file writers from reputable big brand companies such as Quantum Tuning, Revo, Celtic, and so on, where they have had the opportunity to take the time to develop a tune that safely falls within the tolerances of the engine and components, and has a large dealer network providing feedback to aid continuous improvement you won’t go far wrong. This is a really good and important point, let’s use Quantum Tuning as an example, simply because they are the largest tuning company in the UK. Their dealer network provides feedback from approximately 1,000 users of their file writing services, who in turn tune over 50,000 vehicles per year, through the feedback of these dealers it allows for continual improvement and development of their tuning, dealers reporting back on long term issues such as premature wear, for example, so tunes can be modified, as some times “more is less”, this is not something an independent can do, I know which I would prefer if it came to a little additional power or a tune that is safe, widely tested and proven! However, some people do like to have the piece of paper either to compare results with their friends or convince themselves about the new power output of their engine, I love all that stuff too, but a piece of paper does come at a cost, and if you read on you may question if it’s worth it.
500hp on the motor or wheels Other than a tune what else is done to the bakkie I'm running a stage 2 remap with a 76mm straight pipe and I come no where close to 500hp on the flywheel
I'm in the process of doing stainless boost pipes and a big intercooler and I still don't see myself hitting the 500hp mark Has she been on a dyno And yes my 3.2 ranger is proudly south african
Great video mate keep it up always love the content. So close to 20k bro. Would love to see a day in ur life soon bro. Also would u do a meet and greet, when covid over.
Rolling road it mate make sure you’ve got the gains that have been said seen a lot of the generic maps not coming close to the power they’ve been quoted
These car companies spend millions on design and performance then some guy comes along with a 500 quid lap top messes with the ECU 9times out of 10 it ends in tears
@@darrylleahy2716 your a simpleton mate, how do you even know the map was altered from one someone is just selling either way unless it RR'd it's a generic map honestly man you folk whos dad and uncle are the same person really think your special
Not sure I would be considering those awful £55 rims for a Wildtrak. Fuel do a great line in rims for the Ranger, including Fuel Vector & Fuel Vapor for around £200 each. An offset of +7 or +1 look good and nicely fill out standard 35mm wheel arch flares. I saved money by dropping from the standard 18 inch rims on my Wildtrak to 17 inch rims which is the same size as fitted to the Raptor and every other Ranger. I then increased the profile of the tyre from 60s to 65s which left the vehicle standing at almost exactly the same height but is much cheaper than sticking on an 18 inch wheel & tyre package.

Yes you should, technically and I’ve been down this route anything that’s not factory standard is a mod even a ceramic coating... check your insurance wording , I’ve had to fight a claim tooth & nail over a ceramic coating on non fault claim... claimed as mod, don’t ask me how 🤣🤦♂️
We send it off, they write a map.. Bunch of BS that crappy map loaders say. but people fall for it. A guy with a laptop isnt a tuner, they talk the game, but the person at the other end is just doing generic percentage changes not tuning. Tuning is done to the item to tune it to its best spec.
Have you put it on dyno? Theres so many "tuners" with plug and play maps, but without dyno, how do you know they done anything?
You drive it❤

Great video mate keep it up always love the content. So close to 20k bro. Would love to see a day in ur life soon bro. Also would u do a meet and greet, when covid over.
Thanks man, I’ve got a week in my life coming Sunday!!
@@HenryArnold8 nice bro looking forward 💪👊
Best you-tuber 👍🏼⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
What other mods did you do before the map
Smashing the grind bro 🔥🔥🔥
Thanks mate
@@HenryArnold8 out of interest after you've processed your metals where do you take it?
Rolling road it mate make sure you’ve got the gains that have been said seen a lot of the generic maps not coming close to the power they’ve been quoted
Ive been tuning my ranger too..the oil pump cant keep..
What are the list of mods you've done ? Super curious, looking to get that 5-cylinder burble from an upcoming project but have no idea where to start.
Nice one H 🍻👍🏻
We spot a missing center cap 😉
What does it do mpg after the map was it any better
Imagine if my 240bhp civic gets gapped by a truck 🤔
H what's with the Barnet?
Switch up
Is there a video where we can hear the car after map?
How you getting on with the search for a Powerhand set up at your yard?
Found one :) find out about it Sunday 👌🏼
@@HenryArnold8 awesome look forward to seeing the video 👍
Yo this vid was sooooooooooo goood Keep it up
Thanks bro
Best tuning or mapping company out there is DMA performance if you got big cars with big power you no who I’m talking about fact
Ask him to mess with the picasso! See what he can get it up to....BOOM!
I get it... these r quite intimidating vechicles, making them faster is a great idea....😲
These car companies spend millions on design and performance then some guy comes along with a 500 quid lap top messes with the ECU 9times out of 10 it ends in tears
Yeah these laptop tunes with no rolling road can be very sketch
Honestly the gear change on my ranger is the one thing that annoys me. Once out of warranty I will definitely be remapping
Same as me it’s so clunky and slow
Try driving in manual mode with steady throttle. Its tricky from from 1st to 2nd gear but once u get to 2nd gear with boost ure good to go
@@muizdabomb just launch from 2nd gear. first gear is a waste of power when launching
so you paid for a generic flash map and not a custom tune ? pointless....
It is a custom map that’s why he sent the file off to a mapper if it was a generic map it would have been put straight on
@@darrylleahy2716 if it aint been dyno'd it's a generic map, custom map is done on a dyno to know it's done right, hence why it's called "custom"
@@jamiebhoy18888 if the it’s sent off to a mapper and the mapper maps your file what’s that then generic have you finished school by any chance mate
A generic maps is something like bootmod
@@darrylleahy2716 your a simpleton mate, how do you even know the map was altered from one someone is just selling either way unless it RR'd it's a generic map honestly man you folk whos dad and uncle are the same person really think your special

700 hp ?

Do you need to tell your insurance company that you've had the horsepower changed when you've done this to the motor because it's an upgrade?
No mate to be fair you don’t. Thanks though
You should theoretically.

You not interested in the Ranger Raptor, swap the 2.0 for a v6 or something
Yeah I definitely would be
@@HenryArnold8 Sick vids anyways mate and nice truck, interested to see what ur gonna do with it🤙
You need an f150 bro
reading file pls
Think something is up with your mic
Yeah mate I’ve sorted it now thanks tho

Hi
First
Yoooo
A tuner that doesn't even write the map himself....what a joke
They’re not tuner, they just know how to plug a laptop in.
I won’t be calling them sorry 🤦🏾♂️
Sht clickbait
