Revo have over 400 authorised dealers worldwide who you can contact for advice. How do you go about getting a tune and how long does it take?
#What is car tuning software
The software is what the ECU would like the engine to do – the hardware is what helps it to achieve it. Tunes are generally created in stages and depend on what combinations of hardware you fit.

Not all cars can be tuned the same way, so we extensively test to see just how much headroom there is, and how feasible it is to tune a vehicle. Typically, there’s a lot of headroom to push things further than the manufacturer has, but Revo differ from most other tuners you’ll come across. As a result of this, the power output of a standard vehicle is quite often limited manufacturers can’t have a 1.4-litre vehicle out-performing their 2.0-litre offering. Most manufacturers have a range of models and build vehicles to make them appealing to certain markets. ECU stands for Engine Control Unit, and that’s exactly what it does: controls the engine.
We’re maximising the potential of the engine and car to improve drivability and increase the power output while retaining reliability. I was lucky enough to be taken out in their 466bhp Stage 2 Audi RS3 and their 433bhp Ford Focus RS – both amazing cars, and the power they produce from their various tunes is truly incredible.I spoke to a Daniel Edwards, Revo’s Marketing Manager, to discover the benefits of getting your car’s engine tuned. Personally, I’ve not had a car tuned by these guys, so it was great to get over to their HQ in Northampton and look around their workshops, go out in some of their cars and get all the ins and outs of the tuning world and what Revo are all about.
This month, I’ve been speaking to the team over at Revo about car tuning basics, what it involves and why people do it.
