Catalytic Converters (CAT) were designed to control vehicle emissions. Catalytic Converters will convert toxic pollutants to less toxic pollutants by catalysing a redox reaction. Unfortunately Catalytic Converters does not last indefinitely. These converters will eventually become blocked and this will normally cause decrease in power as well as an increase in fuel consumption. Replacing them can cost a fortune. Some Catalytic Converters can cost as much as R70000.00 to replace.
We can remove the Catalytic Converter at a fraction of the price. The removal of a CAT may increase power and decrease fuel consumption slightly. On some vehicles, when you remove the CAT physically, will eventually cause an engine malfunction and will cause the vehicle to go in safety mode or also known as limp mode. We can cure the mentioned problem on most vehicles, by removing the CAT function from the software of the engine control unit (ECU). This means the ECU will no longer recognise the Catalytic Converter and the vehicle will no longer go in safety mode or limp mode.
ECU Remapping, also known as software upgrades, is widely regarded as the safer and more effective way to optimise engine performance—when done correctly. Unlike plug-and-play chips, remapping allows for...
Most companies in South Africa selling so-called performance chips, tuning boxes, plug-and-play chips, or performance modules do not tell you that these are simple electronic devices that intercept...
Let’s chat about plug-and-play systems—the ones that connect to the common rail pressure sensor. Usually, when you get in touch with these guys and start talking about dyno runs to prove gains, they’ll...
