At BNB, we test and tune all vehicles that go on our in-ground Dynojet AWD Eddy Current Dyno. We take a precise approach to every vehicle that rolls on the Dyno.

So what actually happens during a dyno tuning session?

Let’s take you into the BNB experience.

Step 1: Baseline Pulls — “What’s Your Car Really Making?”

Before making any adjustments, tuning session start with a baseline dyno pull, where we measure your vehicle’s current horsepower and torque output at the wheels.

Why it matters:

– It gives us a snapshot of how your engine is performing.

– It helps diagnose hidden issues (boost leaks, misfires, fuel starvation).

– It shows you the true gains after tuning.

Step 2: Mechanical Check & Sensor Logging

Prior to making any changes to your ECU or transmission maps, we ensure that:

– Air-fuel ratios are safe.

– Intake temps, oil pressure, and coolant temps are within spec.

– There are no mechanical restrictions like clogged cats or weak coils.

We also data log everything via HP Tuners, Alientech, or other platforms depending on your setup.

Step 3: The Tuning Process

This is where the magic happens.

We go into your vehicle’s ECU/TCU and begin making adjustments.:

– Fuel trims

– Ignition timing

– Boost targets

– Torque limits

– Transmission shift points (especially for SMG, ZF8, or DCT cars)

It’s not just about peak horsepower. It’s about drivability, safety, and long-term performance, depending on your setup and goals.

Stage 1 Tune

Perfect for stock vehicles or lightly modded builds. Focuses on improving throttle response, fuel economy, and unlocking factory-limited power—while maintaining OEM reliability.

Stage 2 Tune

Ideal for cars with bolt-ons (intake, downpipe, exhaust). Optimizes performance gains from your mods with more aggressive boost, fuel, and timing maps. Often includes transmission tuning for faster shifts.

Stage 3 Tune

Designed for heavily modified or fully built setups. Supports upgraded turbos, injectors, fuel systems, and standalone ECU requests. Custom dyno tuning with real-time sensor calibration and optional launch control, flat-foot shifting, and anti-lag features (platform dependent).

For SMG cars, for example, we might also recommend upgraded solenoids or hydraulic pumps—many of which are now available on our e-commerce store: bnbmotorsports.ca

Step 4: Power Gains + Road Feel

Once tuning is complete, we perform final dyno pulls to confirm gains. More importantly, we road test to ensure that the vehicle:

– Doesn’t surge, hesitate, or pull timing under load

– Shifts cleanly under power (especially for dual-clutch/auto builds)

– Feels responsive and linear

We do tuning sessions daily. Whether it’s a full dyno tune or just a baseline test—we’ve got you covered.
