Hypertech Max Energy Sport Power Programmers

Max Energy Sport Power Programmers extract every bit of available energy from your fuel for more miles at part throttle and more power at wide-open throttle. From the dyno to the track, these programmers have been tested extensively to provide quicker acceleration, smoother shifting, improved drivability, and maximum horsepower and torque.

Application, Power & Options Guide

Optimal Power Tuning
Engines with higher compression ratios, superchargers, or turbochargers are built to use only premium octane so there's one tuning program. When a vehicle can also use standard octane, regular & premium programs are available. Hypertech's exclusive regular program provides excellent power gains (almost as much as premium octane) while premium provides all-out power.

RPM Rev Limiter
In today's vehicles, onboard computers control maximum RPM; the stock computer is programmed to shut down the engine when it "redlines." However, if a vehicle has been altered to increase high-speed performance, more RPM means more power. As you shift gears with the stock RPM limit, the engine falls back to below its horsepower peak. When RPM range is extended using the Max Energy Sport Power Programmer, more power is available after gear changes. By adjusting maximum RPM to keep the engine in the "sweet spot" of its power curve, you can increase the average horsepower that accelerates the vehicle.

0-60 Throttle Restriction
"Selectable throttle restriction" tunes the engine control system for better low-speed performance without sacrificing drivability, but it does not disable torque management completely. There are several torque management systems active at any given time while driving. Upon completing R&D to assess results, the best tuning combination was implemented to improve overall performance and drivability under all driving conditions. The effect was so dramatic Hypertech felt users would benefit more by controlling rather than forcing the modification.

Top-Speed Limiter
Automobile manufacturers limit a vehicle's top speed to match the speed rating of the factory-installed tires. If tires with a different speed rating have been installed, the Max Energy Sport Power Programmer allows you to adjust the top-speed limiter to match the new rating. This feature should only be used for off-highway competition in sanctioned events.

Return-to-Stock Setting
The Max Energy Sport Power Programmer saves your stock tuning program and then uploads your custom program. Before your vehicle goes to a dealership for service, always restore its factory settings. Programmers can only be used on one vehicle at a time; if you sell your vehicle or want to program a different vehicle, reset the stock tune and then use the programmer on the other compatible vehicle.

Internet Updatable
Programmers include a USB cable and software CD to enable quick updates via the internet. If your vehicle has a new calibration not available when your programmer was manufactured, it is possible the programmer screen will flash "Cal not found." When this occurs, go online to add the new calibration to your programmer: connect the programmer to your computer with the USB cable, visit hypertech.com, and click on "Support" to access updates. Or, updates can be downloaded from the software CD, which also contains an installation video and printable instruction manual.

VTEC Controller
Some Honda and Acura vehicles are equipped with Honda's VTEC camshaft technology. Under driving conditions such as higher RPM and heavy load, the engine controller engages additional camshaft followers that use a more aggressive profile. This increases airflow in and out of the engine, thus increasing power output. The Max Energy Sport Power Programmer allows you to adjust the engine speed when the VTEC camshaft profile engages in order to customize the engine's powerband to match the tuning gains & any other bolt-on power adders.

Diagnostics
If your vehicle's "check engine" or "service needed" light turns on, the Max Energy Sport Power Programmer allows you to read and clear the diagnostic trouble code (DTC) to shut off the light. You can then make the necessary repairs to prevent the code's recurrence.
