In this latest tune and dyno test, we take this 2014 Mitsubishi ASX 2.2 DI-D 4 and custom tune it, adjusting the software and fine tuning the results from the rolling road dyno testing. The result… Some pretty impressive performance gains!!
Firstly, we take the ASX completely stock. We get it strapped up on to the rollers, and take it for the first set of tests to establish what the factory mapping is producing. You can see the stock dyno graph below. You can see that power and torque are both running slightly lower than manufacturer quote, showing 134hp from a 150hp quote, and 352Nm from a 380Nm quote. Not particularly unusual, as these can often run lower than what they claim.
Once we are happy that we have everything logged and the stock figures are dialled in, it’s time to connect to the ECU. We use our Autotuner system to connect directly on to the ECU. The process of this custom tune is very much a hands-on, ‘fine tweaking’ procedure. We make several alterations to the software, adjusting

In this latest hot-hatch tune and dyno test, we have this Abarth 595 140hp in for a full custom ECU remap with dyno testing. This customer opted for our linear and max tunes, applied to the sport and non-sport modes. Essentially, this will allow the customer to take full advantage of that sport mode, giving everyday drivability when sport mode is disengaged (at lower revs), and then maximum gains across the full rev range once it’s enabled. Let’s see how this shapes up…
Firstly, we take the Abarth with completely stock software. We get it strapped up on to the rollers, and take it for the first set of tests to establish what the factory mapping is producing. You can see the stock dyno graph below. You can see that power and torque are both running pretty spot on to what the manufacturer quote, showing 139hp and 228Nm of torque.
Once we are happy that we have everything logged and the stock figures are dialled in, it’s time to connect to the ECU. We use our Autotuner system to connect directly

We are well into the summer holidays here in the UK, so a perfect time for all those campers and motorhomes to be in full use. We had this awesome 2024 Swift Voyager 540 drop by, so we could install our Pro + Boost box.
POWER 155HP >>> 194HP
TORQUE 385NM >>> 451NMUsing the Ford Transit 2.0 TDCI EcoBlue as the underpinning, we can expect impressive improvements throughout the whole of the mid-range, providing that increase in power and torque exactly where it’s needed, really transforming the driving experience for this motorhome.

Here at Bluespark, we offer numerous methods of tuning solutions for your vehicle.
The EliteDrive Smart Throttle Controller Pedal Box is a plug & play device that gives you absolute control over your vehicles throttle response.
A pedal box, sometimes referred to as a throttle controller or pedal commander, is a device that alters the vehicle's throttle response. In essence, a pedal commander throttle controller modifies the signal sent from the accelerator pedal to the vehicle's engine control unit (ECU), changing how the vehicle responds to your input. This allows for customization of acceleration response according to the driver's preference.
A well-adjusted throttle controller pedal box provides a more dynamic driving experience, allowing for quicker acceleration when needed and smoother transitions in regular city driving. It's especially beneficial for modern drive-by-wire vehicles, where there can be a noticeable lag between pedal input and engine response.
