Linney Race Engineering offers remote EcuTek e-tuning worldwide. We’ve been tuning since 2002, imported the first R35 GT-R out of Japan in 2007, and have tuned over 4,500 GT-Rs since.
How it works
- Fill in the form at the bottom of this page with your car’s full spec.
- We’ll check your modifications with you, then send you a base map.
- Flash the map, record a datalog (see below) and email it to us.
- We review each log and send a revised map, until your tune is finished.
Before you start
- Each ECU needs an EcuTek licence. GT-Rs need both ECM and TCM licences to run all features.
- Your car needs to be healthy with no hardware faults. We can’t tune around mechanical problems.
- Use a battery charger when flashing for the first time, and flash at home or somewhere safe.
Software and manuals
Datalogging
Leave the preset log parameters as they are unless we ask otherwise. If you’re running speed density, remove mass airflow. Unless we’re testing launch control, remove Dig Launch Mode.
- Log 1: idle when warm, steady cruising, and partial throttle up to about 5psi of boost.
- Log 2: usually after a revised map. Repeat the first log and send it over, and we’ll tell you when to move on.
- Log 3: once things are running well. Partial throttle up to about 10psi, then full-throttle pulls from 2,000rpm to redline.
Keeping in touch
- Please reply on your original tune request email rather than starting a new one, so we have your spec and tune history to hand.
- If it’s been a while since your last map, include your map version and a reminder of your spec and fuel.
- Email is the best way to reach us. We can’t manage tunes over Facebook or chat.
- If you have questions about your tune, ask us first, as we know exactly what’s in your map.
Warranty and disclaimer
Our calibrations are tried and tested, backed by years of R and D on our own vehicles. Because of the many variables involved, we cannot guarantee any particular performance result. We do not offer any warranty on any calibration, and cannot be held responsible for the failure of any OEM or aftermarket part.
We will do everything possible to make sure your OEM con rods and gears do not bend or break, but other factors such as general fatigue, oil supply and temperatures can contribute. Fuel pump failure is also common. Again, we do everything in our power to prevent it, including adding fuel safety trips to stop lean conditions caused by fuel supply problems.
Dyno testing and high-power street driving both carry an inherent risk. Testing for maximum horsepower puts strain on the engine, drivetrain and other mechanical parts. You understand and agree that mechanical problems can and will occur during or as a result of such testing and calibration. These may include, but are not limited to, clutch wear, differentials, blown head gaskets, con rods, pistons, rings, pumps, turbos and many other items.
You authorise Linney Race Engineering Ltd to test and calibrate your vehicle, in person or remotely, on the dyno and/or on the street as needed. You knowingly and voluntarily release Linney Race Engineering Ltd from any obligations, claims or causes of action of any kind for damages or expenses, whether caused by the negligence of the released party or otherwise, arising in connection with the tuning or testing of your vehicle. Linney Race Engineering Ltd accepts no liability for any type of damage resulting from the use of this tuning service.
Godzilla mode, pops and bangs, and flames are risky for turbos and other parts, and are used at your own risk.
If you ask for further changes, we offer updates, revisions and tweaks to any tune or map, charged at our discretion.
