Advanced Performance Technology with Up to 7 Channels

RaceChip GTS 5 BLACK uses ultramodern automotive hardware and sophisticated engine optimization software to deliver performance improvements tailored to the individual vehicle application. Supporting up to 7 analogue and digital channels, the system can process multiple relevant engine signals, depending on the vehicle configuration. This allows the tuning software to coordinate performance optimization with the operating characteristics of the engine. The result is a highly developed chip tuning solution that combines powerful acceleration with controlled and consistent engine response.

7 Fine-Tuning Mappings for Individual Performance

The GTS 5 BLACK features 7 adjustable fine-tuning mappings, allowing drivers to adapt the tuning characteristics to the engine and their individual preferences. Every module is supplied with a vehicle-specific base mapping developed for the corresponding engine application.

This flexibility makes it possible to adjust the performance characteristics while retaining the engine-specific foundation of the RaceChip software.

Integrated Warm-Up Timer for Engine Protection

High-performance engines should reach their appropriate operating temperature before delivering maximum power. RaceChip GTS 5 BLACK includes an integrated Warm-Up Timer designed to manage the availability of the full tuning increase during the engine warm-up phase. The system delays the full additional performance until the configured warm-up period has been completed. This encourages a more considerate approach to engine operation and helps reduce unnecessary high-load operation immediately after starting. The Warm-Up Timer is particularly valuable for performance-oriented drivers who want additional power while maintaining sensible engine operating practices.
