Felicitari pentru profesionalism! Prin softul primit masina si-a schimbat total comportamentul, exact ceea ce ii lipsea. Acum motorul trage liniar pana la turatii mari, surprinzator dar consumul a scazut exponential, pe un traseu pe care il fac lunar de 290km aveam un consum de 6.4% in medie, iar dupa soft a scazut la 5.2% si nu este doar placebo este ceva real, chiar eram sceptic in privinta asta dar s-a dovedit a fi real. Motorul fiind un 2.0tdi CFFB de 140cp su 320nm decalarat de producator pe dyno a scos 149cp si 344nm, dupa soft ajungand la 184cp si 408nm ceea ce este safe si suficient. Softul chiar schimba masina si pot spune ca orice masina voi avea de acum inainte primul lucru va fi sa merg la remapare. Recomand cu incredere AMC Motorsport, multumesc pentru serviciul acordat!

Am facut Stage 1 la AMC Motorsport si sunt extrem de multumit de rezultate! De la inceput am fost impresionat de profesionalismul lor si de felul in care mi-au explicat toate detaliile procesului. Masina functioneaza perfect, iar imbunatatirile sunt remarcabile. Echipa este foarte prietenoasa, bine pregatita si de incredere. Recomand cu toata increderea pentru oricine isi doreste tuning de calitate cu atentie la detalii si o experienta placuta. Cu siguranta voi reveni pentru viitoare upgrade-uri!

How does it go?
You book online, with your car already filled in. At the workshop the car goes on the dyno as it is: first measurement and full diagnostics. We write the calibration for your engine, within its limits, then the second measurement. You leave with the chart of the two curves overlaid. 1.5-2 hours, in Brasov, Str. Carpatilor 60. The original software stays in our archive with no time limit. How a dyno test goes, with a real chart →

ECU remap Lexus IS 250 (2.5 V6) 208 HP
For the Lexus IS 250 (2.5 V6) 208 HP, AMC Motorsport offers chiptuning and ECU remapping developed individually on its own dyno. The Stage 1 calibration takes the engine to 220 HP and 262 Nm, keeping the reliability of the original components.
AMC Motorsport is a workshop in Brasov specialising in chiptuning and ECU remapping since 2009, for diesel and petrol engines. We have developed and measured on the dyno thousands of calibrations for a wide range of makes and engines, with Stage 1 solutions developed individually. The aim is a real increase in power and torque, with the reliability and refinement you would expect from a professional calibration.

Stage 1, chiptuning, ECU remapping or ECU tuning: what is the difference?
They all describe the same service, only the term is different:
- Chiptuning: the established term from the 1990s, when the memory chips in the engine computer were physically replaced.
- ECU remapping or ECU tuning: the modern technical name, because the maps in the engine control unit are recalibrated.
- Resoftare or softare: the terms most often used in Romania for the same work.
- Stage 1: the international standard for optimising the software on fully original hardware.
What does a properly done Stage 1 involve?
It is more than raising a few values in the software. It means recalibrating the engine's control strategies so that it makes better use of the margin left by the factory: torque request and management, internal limiters, boost pressure, injection quantity and strategy, timing, pedal response and protection strategies. All of these work together; what matters is not only how much power you get, but how it is delivered.
How we work on the Lexus 250 (2.5 V6)
We check the technical condition and the original software, develop the calibration for this engine, measure it on the dyno and analyse how it behaves under load. The result is a car that responds more readily and pulls more flexibly when accelerating, picking up speed and overtaking, with no mechanical modifications and with the power delivered in a controlled, sustained way.
