Tuning System

The Tuning Chip is a high-performance ECU modification that allows players to fine-tune their vehicle's engine and handling characteristics in real-time.

Accessing the System

To use the Tuning system, a vehicle must have a Tuning Chip installed.

  1. Install: A mechanic must install the tuning_chip through the Tuning category in the Customs menu.

  2. Access: Once installed, any player with a tuning_tablet can open the interface while inside the vehicle.

ECU Tuning Parameters

The Tuning Chip allows adjustment of four core performance areas. Each area has a configurable scale (multiplier) defined in Config.Tuning.

Parameter
What it does
Impact

Boost

Increases raw engine drive force.

Higher acceleration and pulling power.

Gear Shifts

Reduces the time spent between gear changes.

Faster upshifts/downshifts, maintaining RPM better.

Rev Limiter

Increases the maximum possible RPM/Speed.

Higher top-end velocity.

Traction

Increases the global traction curve of the vehicle.

Better grip in corners and less wheelspin.

hashtag
TCS & ESC (Stability Control)

The Tuning Chip interface includes toggles for advanced driver aids:

  • TCS (Traction Control System): Automatically limits engine power when wheelspin is detected, helping the car maintain grip during hard acceleration.

  • ESC (Electronic Stability Control): Monitors the vehicle's direction and applies individual brakes to help the driver maintain control during high-speed maneuvers or slides.

Both systems can be toggled ON/OFF independently through the Tuning Tablet.

hashtag
Nitro Customization

If the vehicle has a Nitro System installed, the Tuning Tablet allows players to customize the Purge Color.

  • This is a visual-only modification that changes the color of the nitro spray effect.

  • Requires a Nitro System (nitrous) to be installed first.

hashtag
Anti-Lag & Backfire

The Tuning Tablet also provides a toggle for the Anti-Lag System (if installed).

  • Anti-Lag: Keeps the turbo spooled by injecting fuel into the exhaust, resulting in signature "pops and bangs" and maintained boost between shifts.

  • Usage: Can be toggled on/off to save fuel or reduce noise in quiet areas.
