The Pendle method

How we calibrate

OEM Plus

The manufacturer’s own calibration, with our tuning on top. No hardware changes, and we never alter emissions control equipment or the manufacturer’s protection maps.

Everything stays inside the safety limits of the hardware. Nothing is overstrained.

The whole vehicle

We don’t just tune software. We calibrate the engine and the complete vehicle.

“You’re changing this map – what is it going to do to that other map, and what is it going to feel like when you drive?”

Every throttle. Every rpm.

Tuned for every throttle position at every rpm: smooth, linear power across the full rev range and the whole driving cycle.

Built for the way you drive.

Synchronised and safe

  • Power and torque in balance
  • Boost where it should be
  • Temperatures kept in check

Everything working together, inside the limits of the hardware.

In-house, in WinOLS

Every file is calibrated in-house by Martin himself, in WinOLS – nearly 20 years of it.

The result

Tested on our linked four-wheel-drive Maha MSR500, in a sealed, air-controlled cell. Data logged, then driven on the road. Drivability, performance and reliability – with much smoother engine control.

We calibrate engines.

Before and after every tune

Checked with a data log

Every vehicle is data logged before and after it’s tuned. We check the boost asked for against the boost delivered, the fuelling and the rail pressure, right through the rev range – so it’s calibrated correctly and works within its limits.

“It’s not about finding the limits, it’s working within the limits.”

Turbo in control: boost within 0.05 bar of the request from 2,000 rpm.

Boost

1.30bar

Fuelling

The man behind every file

Martin Westwell

38 years

Martin started at 16, building and tuning engines for Peugeot Talbot. 38 years on, he still calibrates every Pendle file himself.

Not just work

“This is what I enjoy. It’s not just work – it’s my hobby. I thrive off the technology side of tuning engines.”

Without our customers we wouldn’t have a business.

Every new engine

Every new vehicle starts with research: the engine, the turbo, the injectors, the ECU. Then tune, test, data log and refine – until it’s right.

That research and development is what Martin thrives on.

From engines to software

Mechanical engine building came first: blueprinting engines, porting and boring heads. As engines moved to electronics, Martin moved with them.

The full cycle: from how an engine works to the software that controls it.

One way to tune

Each and every vehicle is custom tuned.

“There’s only one way to tune an engine: correctly and perfectly balanced.”

What will it make?

“I don’t know until it’s on the dyno. Every vehicle differs – that’s why each one is individually calibrated.”

Correctly calibrated, safe, reliable, smooth power.

What our customers say

Remapped my Vito sport x 3.0 and I have to say it was impressive for a van...... service was excellent and Martin knows exactly what he is talking about. Can only recommend this company.

Greg Google review

I have used Martin since 2008 when he was growing his business & continue to use him, his knowledge & experience are second to none. The ONLY company I trust to remap My vehicles.

KerbsideDan Google review

If your going to do it then do it right the 1st time and get a custom map wrote for your vehicle and your vehicle only - as long as Martin is trading then I wouldn’t look elsewhere!!!

Paul Google review

You've totally transformed my van the 160 miles drive home was just amazing… if there's anyone on the fence with this I can highly recommend getting it done 100%

Customer Facebook

I've put 20k on it and it has been and still is a pleasure to drive. I wouldn't have trusted anyone else… it's more than just a generic flash.

Customer Facebook

It was so underpowered it was embarrassing… Fast forward four hours. The Sprinter is a Sprinter again.
