About the remap

Stage 1 optimization for the BMW Z8 5.0 V8 400hp increases power from 400 to 417 hp (+17 hp, +4%). Naturally aspirated petrol engines have limited scope for power gains, but optimizing ignition and fueling maps delivers a smoother power delivery, more responsive throttle, and a noticeably more pleasant driving experience.

The remap is performed on the Siemens MSS54 ECU (engine code 508S1) via the OBD2 diagnostic port – no ECU removal required. Results are verified with a dynamometer measurement.

Every vehicle undergoes full diagnostics before and after the remap. We keep a backup of the original ECU calibration and guarantee the option to revert to stock settings at any time. JVK PRO is a professional chip tuning service in Riga with 16 years of experience.
