DiabloSport Corvette Performance Chips and Tuners
Posted by admin in Car Performance on June 11, 2011
If you have ten minutes to spare out of your already busy schedule your Corvette will thank you at the end of the day. In less than ten minutes a Corvette Performance Chip or Tuner can be fully installed. Some may think that installing a Corvette Performance Chip would be difficult but they really are one of the easiest upgrades to add to the already dominating performance of the Corvette. Most of the performance chips available will provide roughly the same range of gains but they all have something to offer that makes each brand a little unique in their own way. Obviously all of the models don’t look the same and just like a wrist watch the display screens all look different, some are easier to use than others and some just have a better look to them all together. Corvette Performance Chips open a whole new world up when it comes to customizing the tuning. The focus today is DiabloSport.
DiabloSport as a company was founded in 2000; they design and manufacture the most unique line of performance products in the automotive industry. Shortly after becoming a company they merged with Autologic which had been high in the field of tuning since the early 80′s. Everything that DiabloSport puts into their tuners is made in house right in their factories and made in the U.S.A. They are continually advancing their technology with the very highly recruited tech teams. They have multiple product lines but for the purpose of today we will only cover two.
Bolt-On and Plug-In Performance – 5 Additions For Big Horsepower Gains
Posted by admin in Car Performance on June 11, 2011
Whether you drive a truck or a car, the demand for performance is universal. Vehicles come from the factory geared towards the average consumer, typically someone who uses a low-grade fuel and doesn’t change the oil as often as they should. These drivers don’t usually need the extra horsepower or torque just to get from point A to point B. Luckily for the rest of us, aftermarket parts override these restrictions and boost power for towing, passing, hooning and other activities that would otherwise strain and even break the engine. Of these additions, 5 stand out by providing the greatest gains with the least amount of effort and overall cost. They are:
COLD AIR INTAKES
An air intake is a device that increases horsepower and the overall efficiency of an internal combustion engine by drawing in cool air. Stock air intake systems are designed to eliminate engine noise and are, therefore, highly restrictive when it comes to performance. Most stock intakes are constructed with numerous twists and turns, greatly restricting airflow. Performance-designed cold air intakes provide an increase in the amount of oxygen used for combustion with fuel because the more air your engine receives, the higher the output. They’re available in many different styles and sizes, and are relatively simple to install in comparison to other performance upgrades.
BMW Performance Chip, Installation and Testing the Horse Power

The BMW performance chip is amazing, the design of the chip installes perfectly to the engine. Remove the performance chip from the package and plug into the iat sensor. The iat is located around the mass air flow sensor. If the iat is separated it will be located on the air tube itself and you should be able to find a picture of it in your hanes guide.
Find the positive and negative cables and remove them. They simply pull right out. The two wires are made to be removed and tied back for this performance chip to be installed.
