15 years of Tuning experience:

1994 – Plugmaster

Classical resistance tuning - even today it's still under discussion in various Internet forums, but it's been a thing of the past for RaceChip for some time. Our current modules are all-digital.

The tuning used to be effected by means of a distribution pump activation

1997 – Plugmaster Trimmpoti-board

The last “resistance tuning” version: with the plug master – based on a SD9 master technology – the last series production of this module was manufactured.

These were the first attempts to optimize distribution pump activation.

1998 BMW Chiptuning Type 2-3

An historic event in the field of tuning: n 1998, the first tuning electronics were available for BMW models.

1998 Lukas SD9 T.BG

Another example of classical “resistance tuning”. At that time it was THE innovation, but today this product has long since become obsolete.

These were the first attempts to optimize distribution pump activations.

1998 – SD9 Master

Resistance tuning based on the Lukas SD9 T.BG technology. The product ready for series production was successfully sold around the world in 1998.

1999 – CDI-tuning-electronics T-BG

One of the first common-rail tuning electronics with round plug. Equipment was effected on two sides. The reverse side was equipped with SMD.

1999 – Common-Rail-Tuning

In 1999 this board for tuning common rail vehicles was equipped with wires. The performance could not yet be modified by the customer.

1999 – Tuning module for CDI engines

For the first time, a 2-pole cable connector on a board equipped with wires was used here (colloquially called “jumper”) for modifying the programmed excess performance by the customer.

2000 – Common-Rail BG (C.R.T Teil-BG)

Invented 1998, installed in the first vehicles in 1999. Only 1 year after introducing the common-rail technology, the first tuning module for common-rail vehicles was available. At that time with a cable connector (jumper): Already in 2000 the customer could individually regulate his car’s performance. With this electronic system the customer was able to activate and deactivate the performance on his own.

2001 – New product development for suction and turbo engines (junction box 2 Kopl.)

Switchable by means of switches arranged above the casing. With this electronic system the customer could activate and deactivate performance on his own.

These were the first attempts of a common-rail tuning (Toyota). The tuning was still done at the control unit; not yet at the rail pressure sensor.

2001 – Pump-nozzle electronics

With this pump-nozzle electronics from the year 2001, an SMD-technology design was used for the first time.

2003 – Plug-in adaptor

8- or 10-pole plug-in adapter for distribution pump control VP37.

2003 – CR-electronics 5/12V: The breakthrough of the digital tuning technology

With the ST6 of ST-Microelectronics a completely new tuning module along with an IP67-splashproof plug was developed. From then on, the engine control could be optimized in real time.

2004 – Radio module for all tuning modules

Distribution to wholesalers: Exclusively produced for retailers, the radio module was not directly sold to final customers. Still today, a great number of our retailers still uses this module. While driving, the customer can switch the tuning module on or off resp..

Radio electronics for switching the performance module on or off.

2007 – CR-electronics 5/12V in a different casing

Giant demand for our common-rail digital technology. Upon request of our wholesalers, the board layout was adjusted to other casing types. Ten-thousands were sold all over the world. With these electronics the customer is also able to individually set the desired performance via a 3-fold jumper. The rail-pressure signal sounds twice.

2008 – Pump-nozzle

A pump-nozzle module in digital technology for the first time: The new RaceChip. The new RaceChip pump-nozzle is another triumph of the RaceChip Company. From now on, the characteristic fields are optimized 25,000 times per second by means of the latest processor technology and SMD design type.

2009 – RaceChip pump-nozzle PRO

Smaller, more efficient, and simpler: Guided by this paradigm our team of engineers developed the RaceChip PD-PRO along with the development of a completely new software.

2009 – RaceChip PRO

Another breakthrough: Individual performance adaptation, motor protection programmes and more, thanks to most to most modern processor technology based on ATMEL. The smallest and most efficient module ever.

2011 – We set benchmarks for the future

Be surprised: The prototypes for future models have already been installed in our test vehicles and are subjected to comprehensive long-term tests. RaceChip will continue to be an innovative tuning company setting new benchmarks in the future.
