STAGE 3

 

 

Unlike the earlier stages, which primarily focus on software tweaks, a stage 3 remap is a comprehensive overhaul of both the software and hardware components of a vehicle’s engine.
This remapping stage is done for the purpose of achieving extreme gains on power and torque which requires extreme upgrade on the engine, brakes and suspension of the car.
Here are some examples of parts that in most cases needs to be upgraded for stage 3.

Hybrid Turbo 

Hybrid turbos are designed to provide a balance between stock turbos and full-performance turbos. They offer a larger compressor wheel and improved turbine design, facilitating a greater volume of air to be forced into the engine. This enhanced airflow is crucial for the increased power outputs expected from car remapping.

Upgraded Intercooler 

An intercooler’s primary function is to cool the compressed air coming from the turbocharger before it enters the engine. As you boost your vehicle’s performance, the turbocharger works harder, compressing more air and, consequently, generating more heat. An upgraded intercooler is designed to handle this increased volume of air and dissipate the additional heat more effectively. Cooler air is denser, which means it contains more oxygen. It makes better air-fuel mixture in the combustion chamber, leading to extra power and improved efficiency.

 

High-performance Exhaust System 

Stage 3 tuning aims to boost an engine’s power, necessitating enhanced airflow management. Performance-oriented exhaust systems are designed to support this by reducing excessive back pressure and managing increased heat from the engine. While these systems improve performance, they also appeal to car enthusiasts for their sportier sound and aesthetic upgrades. These exhausts ensure compatibility with other hardware modifications typical of a stage 3 remap. 

It’s worth noting that while there are many benefits of stage 3 remapping, it can put additional strain on the engine and related components.  In some case, engine will need to receive forged parts, bored cylinders, etc. More power will increase the wear of parts faster and will require constant maintenance.
