This listing is for the Tornado variant ECU chip. Suitable for the 14CUX Hotwire EFi system found on TVR's, Morgans, Land Rovers, Range Rovers and many kit cars. If you have the later Sagem (Gem's) EFi system please visit our shop for the correct chips.

Full control of the fuel map is contained within this innocent looking EPROM (Chip). It contains all the fuelling, RPM & fueling Load Map information, and instructions required to run your engine.
To understand better how it works you must understand that, although your engine needs to run at varying RPM, it also has an extra factor to be considered - Engine Load. This can be considered as the difference between part-throttle cruising or full-throttle accelerating or pulling.

When you are on part-throttle cruise driving mode, with Optimax or Tornado the fuel mixture will run slightly lean, giving you the best possible economy.
As you demand higher & higher load performance, such as under hard acceleration and load pulling, the Optimax and Tornado will allow it to run richer, and give you the best possible performance both without losing sight of efficiency.

With over 120 load/rpm adjustments, the Optimax and Tornado are streets ahead of any competition. (most of which just target more BHP with more fuel dumped in at high RPM).

As an essential basic upgrade for engine economy and efficiency;
When converting to a large capacity and/or performance tuning;
Seeking maximum engine economy/efficiency;
Lowering engine temperature & avoiding block cracking;

As there are also a few variations of this ECU type, we will need to know what family type yours is.

All the following information assumes you have the Hot Wire injection system.

Please check if your ECU type is 14CU, or 14CUX (14CU is normally American export only and currently cannot be chipped)

To be able to supply the correct family of chip we will need to know some information from inside the ECU itself. Inside there is a small chip with MVA**** on it. We need to know the rest of the numbers and letter.

If your ECU does not have a socket at present, we can supply one of these free of charge. (fitting service available, please enquire).

Our Tornado & Optimax ECU Chips have been extensively developed on vehicles under exacting Rolling Road conditions, thus ensuring perfect fueling throughout the rev range of almost any V8 Engine, and should be seriously considered as an important part of your vehicle's needs.

The following are just a few advantages and adjustments you can expect to have gone into all our ECU Chip upgrades

Engine Temperature Map: Decreased cold and warm up fueling to reduce the risk of flooding.
Throttle Response: Quicker throttle response.
Airflow Meter Scaling: Vital for good drivability and fuel economy, especially on large capacity engines. Allows correct control of part throttle fueling.
Re-profiled Fuel Map: Provides good fuel economy on part throttle, and allows engine to rev more freely, (standard profile reduces fueling heavily after 4000rpm).
Idle Speed: Lifted to give smoother idle.
Throttle overrun braking: Increased engine braking.
Removal of road speed limit: Standard 113mph road speed limit removed (Range Rover only).
Cranking Fuel: Reduced risk of flooding, starting delay to allow oil pressure to build before starting

Summary of My Selling Policies
Payment	We accept most payment methods. Paypal is preferred, for purchases under £250.00, and we also accept all major debit/credit cards, bank to bank transfers, cheques (allowing up to 10 working days to clear), bank drafts, plus most other legitimate/reasonable methods of payment.
Fees	UK Value Added Tax is included in the final price of the Item(s) purchased; however, if you reside outside the EEC, and your purchase is exported directly outside the EEC, then you will not be liable for EEC VAT at 20%.

Also, if you are within the EEC VAT scheme, and provide your EEC VAT registration number, then the same reduction in purchase total may apply. Local import duties are not covered in our quotes and we advise that you check such liabilities before you place your bid if you are unsure. Please contact/inform us if you feel you qualify for EEC VAT exemption, and, if appropriate, we will adjust your invoice to remove the EEC VAT content, plus raise appropriate export documentation if required.
