Unitronic Performance Software - Flashed @ ECS

Unitronic Stage 1 Performance software is precisely calibrated for use with 91 AKI / 95 RON fuel.
Unitronic Stage 1+ Performance software is precisely calibrated for use with 93 AKI / 98 RON fuel.

Unitronic Stage 1 TCU Performance Software (FREE) is required to run Stage 1, 1+ and 1+E85 ECU tune.

Subject to ECU Box code availability.

Optimized Responsiveness, Smoothness, Drivability, and Comfort

• Unitronic’s ECU calibrations are engineered to improve engine response and reduce low-end lag. Unitronic’s Performance Software has gained worldwide recognition and is well known for its broad powerband, with smooth power delivery, maximizing responsiveness and “area under the curve”, under normal and hard acceleration.

Ignition Timing Precisely Calibrated for Higher Octane Fuel

• Engine calibration optimized to take advantage of higher fuel quality to extract maximum energy from the combustion. Therefore, when using a higher octane fuel, more power and better fuel efficiency will be achieved.

Optimized Maximum Output

• Unitronic’s ECU Calibrators deliver the maximum power output while staying within the operational limits of the factory engine and drivetrain components. Specifically, this results in the highest engine performance without sacrificing the reliability of the engine, turbocharger, or other engine and drivetrain components.

Factory Safety Limiters Retained

• OEM “fail safes” are retained within the ECU calibration. Close monitoring of all operation parameters ensures that engine operation stays within factory components limits, resulting in reliability.

Power Delivery Perfectly Optimized Throughout the Power Band

• Aligned with the OEM strategy, the calibration is designed to offer a large flat torque plateau to provide a smooth and linear power band. Maximum torque output is achieved sooner and maintained longer which creates a broader torque plateau and greater area under the curve. This results in an improved acceleration and optimal engine operation.

Speed Governor Removed

• Vehicle speed limiter within ECU is removed. (Subject to transmission rotational speed limit.)

Improved Fuel Efficiency

• Optimized timing and injection in cruising condition allows for an improved fuel efficiency, under normalized driving conditions.

Engineered with Strict Industry Standards

• With over 10 years of experience with Bosch and Siemens engine management systems and calibrations, Unitronic is able to utilize its expertise, industry leading tools and equipment to ensure an optimal calibration; delivering maximum performance, while maintaining complete OEM-like reliability and drivability.

Extensively Tested Under Various Driving Conditions

• Development begins using Unitronic’s in-house Maha Chassis dyno housed in an environmentally controlled cell; closely monitoring a plethora of operational data, utilizing industry leading calibration tools and resources. Beta calibrations are then tested in street and track scenarios, using multiple cars under various driving conditions. This engine calibration strategy ensures Unitronic Performance Software delivers maximum performance, OEM-like drivability and reliability anywhere in the world. Unitronic Performance Software is only released to its Clients once development is thoroughly completed in accordance to Unitronic’s strict standards.

Unitronic Engineers identified gearbox originating torque limitations on the TCU side of the AL552 transmission. In order to overcome these limitations, while ensuring proper torque management and operation, a TCU Performance Software was required to run Unitronic Stage 1, 1+ and Stage 1+ E85 ECU Performance Software for the B9 RS 4 & RS 5.
Stage 1 TCU Performance Software calibrations necessarily increase the torque limiter for seamless torque management and harmonious operation with the corresponding Unitronic ECU calibrations and further enhance the user experience.
For MY2022+ vehicles, TCU tuning is not required as Unitronic has developed special ECU Performance Software which incorporates a proprietary "gBX" solution. These "gBX" ECU calibrations were developed specifically for MY2022+ vehicles and allow Unitronic to deliver a full torque experience without transmission tuning.
