The cost of tuning

Depending on the quantity and quality of components, spoilers and panels can cost from several hundred to several thousand zlotys. It all depends on the invention of the tuning company and the customer's capabilities. Also, the range of engine or chassis modifications depends on the needs and wealth of the owner's pocket. A lot can be done in this area, from simple smoothing of intake channels to reducing flywheel weight, installation of camshafts with a changed cam profile, modernization of pistons, combustion chambers, power control devices, changing gears in the gearbox or using multi-piston disc brake calipers. A significant and attractive source of the possibility of increasing engine parameters is the exhaust system, and it is also one of the most difficult engine components to modernize. The most expensive are, of course, complete, individually built systems (even a few thousand zlotys). For people with less wealthy wallets, a whole range of special exhaust silencers designed for the most popular cars has been prepared. They cost several hundred zlotys and increase power by several percent. For customers with the most demanding demands, tuners have turbochargers and mechanical compressors. They install them only then, when the design of the power unit allows it. Mainly endurance considerations are at stake. For example, a turbocharger with a set of necessary parts for the Fiat Cinquecento (engine 1108 cm3) costs ok. 10 thousand. zloty. Along with the turbulent development of electronics, there has recently been a fashion for the modernization of drivers of power supply and ignition systems of engines.. Replacement of the so-called chip (an element with a stored algorithm and data, which uses a processor that controls the engine's power supply and ignition system) costs at least 2+3 thousand. zloty, but it can result in an increase in engine dynamics by up to several percent. Typically, electronic circuits are upgraded in packages, together with other modifications, which gives much better results.
