Stage 1 ECU Software Tune

The APR ECU Stage 1 Software Tune is a performance modification that significantly boosts horsepower and torque, providing a more exhilarating driving experience. This upgrade optimizes the factory engine management system to unlock the engine's full potential without the need for any user adjustments. This ECU tune offers multiple performance levels based on installed hardware and supports various fuel grades, including 91, 93, 100, and 104 AKI, as well as E60-E85 in North America. Depending on the fuel used, Stage 1 tuning can yield gains of 75-129 HP and 89-168 FT-LBS of torque over stock. The software also introduces enhancements such as a new launch control strategy for improved starts with better driveline protection, linear throttle pedal mapping, an increased redline, and the removal of the speed limiter. Additionally, it offers features like Auto Start/Stop inversion and optimized exhaust flap actuation for enhanced power delivery and drivability. APR offers an optional APR Plus warranty, which provides a limited powertrain warranty matching the factory term. For those using E85, it's important to note that this software is not a full flex-fuel program and is designed exclusively for E60-E85 blends; using traditional pump fuels in this mode may cause engine damage. APR recommends using an E85 content sensor to ensure proper fuel content levels. The software can be purchased and installed at home using the APR Ultralink, or professionally installed at an authorized Eurocode facility.
