Tuned at JF Automotive, MaidstoneDecember 2016Figures from our dyno data

We remap the Alfa Romeo range at our workshop in Maidstone. The 2.9 twin-turbo V6 in the Giulia and Stelvio Quadrifoglio goes from 510 to around 560bhp and 700Nm. The 2.2 JTD diesel is the interesting one: Alfa sells it at 150, 160, 180 and 190hp and every one of them reaches around 220hp and 530Nm, because they are the same engine at different factory settings. The 2.0 petrol at 200hp goes to about 310hp.

Alfa Romeo ECU Remapping

Alfa Romeo ECU Remapping will offer great power and fuel economy enhancements , however as with most vehicles the peak power gains are only half the benefit. You will also find power delivery earlier in the rev range. This is due to additional low down torque and sharper throttle response along with vast improvements to mid-range torque providing a wider power band.

Alfa Romeo Gearbox TCU Remapping

Alfa Romeo’s with an automatic or semi automatic transmission can have a gearbox remap in addition to the engine remap. A gearbox remap for your Alfa Romeo will offer faster gear shift speeds, smoother shifts, faster reaction to paddle shift inputs and improved mid range torque by releasing torque limiters. Transmission lock is also improved giving a faster response during acceleration and assisting with kick down at low speeds.

Alfa Romeo Dyno Tuning

Our purpose built research and development facility houses out very own Mustang AWD 2000BHP linked dyno. This allows us to accurately measure every parameter we adjust. This is to ensure a tune is every bit as safe as it it powerful. When booking your Alfa Romeo ECU remap, book a set of dyno runs to see a full print out of power before and after the tuning.

Alfa Romeo Performance Exhaust System

We have a range of exhaust systems available for your Alfa Romeo including Milltek, Remus, Capristo, Akrapovič and many more. Just ask us for a quotation.

Questions we get asked

How much power does an Alfa Romeo gain?

The 2.9 V6 Quadrifoglio: 510 to around 560bhp and 700Nm. The 2.2 diesels at 150 to 190hp: all to around 220hp and 530Nm. The 2.0 petrol at 200hp: to about 310hp and 460Nm, which is the largest percentage gain in the range.

Why do the different diesels end up at the same power?

Because they are the same 2.2 JTD engine. The difference between a 150 and a 190 is software, set for pricing and insurance rather than by different hardware. Once the restriction comes off they arrive at the same place.

Which Alfas do you tune?

The Giulia and Stelvio in all engines including the Quadrifoglio, the Giulietta, the 4C, and the older 159 and Brera. Send us the registration and we will confirm the engine and the ECU before you book.

Should the gearbox be tuned as well?

On the ZF 8HP cars it is worth it, especially the diesels where the gain is mostly torque and the box has a limiter that clips it. It also sharpens the shifts and gives a manual mode that holds a gear.

What about the DPF on the diesels?

It stays. Removing emissions equipment makes a car illegal to use on the road and fails its MOT. If yours has a fault we diagnose and repair it, then remap a healthy car.

Is it reversible?

Yes. We keep your original file and can write it back at any point, which is what people do before a main dealer visit.
