This Porsche Taycan Turbo S came to us for a Stage 1 remap & alignment. It drove into our workshop with the factory 761bhp and after our stage 1 remap it now has 800bhp with 1050Nm Having owned and lived with both a Taycan 4S and a Taycan

GTS, we understand first-hand how additional performance transforms the driving experience. The cars feel more urgent, more responsive and ultimately more engaging without compromising range. The electric motors fitted to these vehicles have significant unused potential. Our calibration work carefully releases this performance while remaining fully within the limits of the vehicle’s Battery Management System (BMS). Gains vary depending on motor and battery configuration, however some models respond extremely well with highlights being; Audi RS e Tron GT can see increases of up to 156 bhp, and even the Taycan Turbo models benefit from gains of around 120 bhp Improvements are delivered across the power band, enhancing throttle response and acceleration rather than just peak figures. We have full details on our website. If you would like your Porsche Taycan or Audi e-Tron enhanced then feel free to contact us #litchfield #porsche #Taycan #supercarservicecentre #adrenalineengineered

This customer asked for a Nissan GT-R engine build capable of producing 850 to 900bhp and around 700lbft, while still being suitable for daily use. The car had previously been running faultlessly with our Stage 5 775bhp upgrade for years,

but it was time to step things up. We installed our LM3.8 engine, combined with our cast turbo manifold kit running Borg Warner 6758 turbos, along with Dodson gearbox upgrades. Together, this package delivers a smooth power curve and better than standard driveability. Our latest Version 10 software gives the driver switchable maps for different pump fuel octane levels, adjustable boost control and more advanced traction control. The main map delivers a comfortable 870bhp and 675lbft of torque. With the Push To Pass button activated, output rises to 912bhp and 702lbft, just as requested. Like all Nissan GT-R engines we build, this one was machined and assembled in-house by our dedicated engine team and is covered by our comprehensive 2 year/24,000 mile warranty for UK customers. Every GT-R engine we produce has a full digital record, capturing every measurement and detail from the blueprinting process. This is supplied to the owner as part of their Litchfield Passport book, providing long term reference, provenance and authenticity. Once complete, each engine is expertly run in on our Supertech engine dyno or Maha rolling road to ensure a controlled and correct running-in process. Whether you are looking for a simple refresh, a hypercar level power unit, a record breaking build or a Time Attack winning engine, we have the experience and knowledge to deliver the right solution. Visit our website and website blog for more information or call the office to discuss your plans 👍 #litchfield #nissan #gtr #blueprinted #enginebuilds adrenalineengineered

VW Golf R in for health and check and dyno runs This one was initially tuned by us back in 2023 and has been back every 6-12 months to ensure the vehicle is running how it should. Every time this came in, logs were perfect and there wer

e no abnormalities This time was different, he noticed that he would hear a flutter (compressor surge), on initial test drive i could see the sports displays showing stupid amounts of boost pressure for an IS38 which would never have been requested on our tune. Once on the dyno and data logging, this became apparent as logs were showing that it was hitting nearly 2bar all the way till 5000 revs 😅 It did confuse me a bit when it was making over 600nm but i’m not surprised with that amount of boost pressure 😂 We then started adjusting the map to try and compensate for the insane over boost, lowering the requested whilst adjusting the wastegate with this being on 127,000 miles it was more than likely due to the turbo starting to show its age. As seen in the pictures, green is requested boost pressure in the ECU and orange is actual, you want both of them to practically being kissing each other on logs and it definitely was not initially 😂 Adjusting wastegate tables as well as slowly ramping the boost pressure request very carefully prevented this from overboosting. Especially with the owner thrashing the car daily this definitely helped with reliability and preventing any unwanted damage! This just shows that things can change over time and it is always worth having a health check to make sure your vehicle is running as it should be! 1st log picture: how it came in 2nd log picture: overboost fix

one which was more, he took it out after and said it was missing the aggression that he was wanting, so onto the second version it was and let’s just say it wasn’t disappointing, back end kicking out in third gear and spinning all 1st and 2nd 😂 Then came a problem. The most unlucky thing happened and it was actually a good thing it happened here, we were testing out the popcorn limiter whilst he was here and the water pump decided it did not want to be in the chat anymore, completely shearing off hitting the radiator, viscous fan, belt snapping and even the bonnet being hit in the chaos with plastic flying everywhere🤦🏼‍♂️ (what are odds of that). Car then had to be left with us and was fixed ASAP so he could actually enjoy the power 😭. This is a case of bad luck but at least it happened here instead of a situation like his diff blowing up the week before on a dual carriageway 😂😂

We had to do this one in BOOT mode which isn’t what you usually want to do but it had to be done 😂 this meant that any adjustments took longer than usual but it’s part of the process! Figures based off data logs: 141bhp -> 163bhp 186nm -> 212nm Throttle response, mid range and top end power now a lot better 💪🏻

It can be noted the design was for subtractive machining as used previously. But could definitely be refined, and optimised for additive. Came out well, functional part destined for the race track 😎.
