State of the Art Technology

The perfecting and manufacturing of add-on units is a bit like the submerged part of the iceberg.

The TuningBox® Research & Development unit is universally acknowledged in the automotive sector.  We work on a sub-contract basis for numerous performance tuners as well as for some factories.  To sum up, the development of the add-on unit was the fruit of all this experience, and that’s how we were able to launch the concept of the add-on unit. 

All of this requires high quality engine manufacturers and state of the art equipment. Judge for yourself: 

Power benches

We are probably the only owner of two power benches in Belgium, and possibly in all of Europe.

Bosch FLA 206

1. 4 x 4 Power Bench.
2. Accepts engines up to 700 bhp.
3. This bench is ideal for passing through standard production cars.

MAHA LPS 3000

1. 4x4 power bench especially adapted for our use.
2. Data acquisition is carried out directly from the on board diagnostics socket (OBD).
3. Synchronised bench, especially designed for research.
4. Blower (engine cooling system) adapted for long run testing.
5. Accepts engines up to 1200 bhp.
6. This bench is especially reserved for research, the passing of GT vehicles and competition cars.

 

Specialist Units 

Just like the major performance tuners, TuningBox® has units, each one with its own specific purpose, and which are necessary to the comprehensive development of engines.  Thus we can list the mechanical, electronic and metrological unit.  These units are basically dedicated to research and perfecting on behalf of customers; often the major Belgian performance tuners, but also from abroad.

Laboratories 

The two TuningBox® laboratories are mainly dedicated to more empiric research:

1. The first laboratory is used mainly for research linked to increasing power in turbo engines, and more particularly in petrol driven turbo engines.  The objective is to establish the rules to be respected in order to optimise this increase in power without any detriment to the mechanics.
2. Research in the second laboratory aims more at improving consumption.

Once again, numerous performance tuners draw on the results of this research to tune their car.  From time to time it is they who approach TuningBox® to study certain precise aspects of an adjustment or another.  The exact nature of this research remains confidential.

Car Fleet 

Starting off from the point of "Why settle for less, when you can have more?", TuningBox® has acquired exceptional cars for its research.  Once the different fine honing points are completed, they can be adapted to more usual cars.
