This 2020 Mercedes E300 is power by the usual 2.0 diesel engine, with the addition on an electric motor 
the electric motor provides instant torque, and now we’ve given the diesel engine an additional 100nm, it leaves the lights quicker than a stabbed rat! 
There honestly isn’t much out there that will keep up with this off the mark now! 
OBD – The majority of cars can be tuned via the cars On Board Diagnostics port, which means I get to stay warm and dry in your vehicle while doing my things 
Bench – on some vehicles it’s just not possible or considered “safe” to tune via OBD, in which case we plug into the ECU directly using a special cable. Not only is this a faster method of reading/writing ECU’s (20 min OBD write times reduced to 2 mins), it is inherently more stable and considered “safer”. Which is why you may see me using this method anyway, especially if the sun’s out! 
Boot (pictured) – in some cases or for particular tasks, we may need to open the ECU and pin or solder directly onto the PCB. There are a handful of ECU’s where this is the only way of reading/writing, additionally it can be the only way to extract all data from an ECU, for example – for ECU cloning or deleting things such as DPF/EGR. 
If this hasn’t bored you too much and you would still like to know more, then do drop us a message! 
– Focus ST 250 💥
– stage 1 remap 📈
– supply & fit of RamAir induction kit 👨🏻🔧
These are surprisingly well tuned from factory, with 250hp out the box! They are however quite conservatively tuned, with data-logs showing peak boost around 5.5k RPM 😪 meaning there’s plenty of room for improvement 😉
Now we’ve worked some Rhino magic 🦏 peak boost is just above 3k RPM 📈😉 this makes the power-band so much more usable, with bundles of torque available low in the rev-range 💪🏼
The RamAir induction kit supplied by us helps aid airflow and make the most of a remap, and adds a nice bit of noise from under the bonnet 👍🏽
Since moving from a 1.6t to a 2.0t, these really are a different animal 
being a John Cooper Works edition it already had a respectable 231hp from factory, along with the usual JCW bits
Our dyno-developed software for these is awesome, with a stage 1 calibration taking it up to 280hp 
when data-logged it was seen to be running exactly as you’d expect great car to work on and now such a fun drive! 
Meet Masen 
Masen is happy because he got his Abarth 595 remapped by Rhino Auto 
A stage 1 remap saw power increase from 135hp to 170hp, and torque soaring from 200nm to 300nm 
really bringing this little Abarth alive! 
No wonder he’s so happy
Be happy like Masen, choose Rhino Auto!
There are some amazing gains to be had from the 116d as it shares the same engine as the more powerful 118d
This means a simple stage 1 software calibration takes it from 116hp and 260nm, to 190hp and 400nm
It’s not all hot-hatches and German super-saloons, we also remap a lot of vans too!
This Iveco Daily (AKA the “Trampervan”) covered in skulls and finished in satin black paint is one of my personal favourites from recent months… Great to see something a bit different!
If you have a van/campervan/trampervan which you feel could do with a bit more oomph and improved MPG, message us now to see how one of our remaps can help!
Stage 1 remap for this r56 Mini Cooper S, and what a great example it is!
It’s 1.6 turbocharged engine inherently responds much better to a remap than the supercharged engine from the earlier r53 Mini Cooper S – without any physical modifications one of our stage 1 remaps brings power up from 163hp to 205hp!
Coupled with it’s go-kart like handling this thing is now an absolute hoot to drive!
One question we’re often asked is whether a remap is suitable for high-miles vehicles, and our answer is always the same – so long as the vehicle has been looked after, yes.
Despite this Audi A3 having over 200,000 miles on the clocks it passed our diagnostics and under-bonnet checks better than some, and we were happy to perform one of our stage 1 remaps 😉
This A3 now has a new lease of life with power being upped from 200hp to 250hp!
Check out this lovely Porsche Panamera! We came out to perform a stage 1 remap bringing it’s 3.0 TDI engine up from 250hp to 290hp, with a nice uplift in torque also.
After one of our remaps, this Panamera now has the performance to match it’s sleek super coupe styling.
