Tuning Hyundai Tussan can be done by the most different ways. As a rule, it all depends on the willingness of the owner Korean SUV invest a certain amount in the modernization of your car. At the same time, you have to pay not only for expensive parts for improvement, but also for the work of specialists in a tuning studio. We will consider methods for changing a car in 2008. with your own hands, because for this you do not need to have any experience in specialized workshops.
1 Off-road lift - now we don’t care about off-road
Korean model Hyundai Tucson 2008 designed in accordance with all driving safety rules. The car boasts a reliable body structure, an improved design of the front eiberg, pretensioner belts and voluminous airbags - all this was taken care of by the manufacturer. famous car. However, for an exciting journey through Russian off-road sometimes even that is not enough.
And then car lifting comes to the rescue - a tuning method in which the car body becomes even more impact-resistant and stable. By improving the car in this way, you can go to any region of the country and the world without worrying that there may be any problems on the road. Lifting is a method of upgrading SUVs, aimed at increasing the distance between the lowest part of the body and the road. Similar effect achieved by changing the suspension and the body itself. After lifting, the car can be equipped with new wheels of a larger diameter, with which the car becomes even more passable.
This method of modernization is far from new in Russia. Similar services are provided by a mass of specialized workshops, most of which ask for more than 30 thousand rubles for just one job. To save this considerable amount, it is worth thinking about self-fulfillment lifts of his 2008 Hyundai. Before you start tuning an SUV, you will need to make accurate measurements and determine the optimal height of the car body. In addition, you need to carefully consider the whole algorithm of work and really evaluate the size of the tires that will be installed on finished car. Do not forget about the need to cut off part of the wheel arch, make it wider in accordance with the diameter of the new wheel.
The most important thing when performing a lift is not to overdo it with the dimensions. This is what is often wrong domestic motorists, all the while considering that the greater the clearance and diameter of new wheels, the better. In fact, it is necessary to perform such tuning at a very simple principle: if the Hyundai Tucson torque is far behind the factory maximum, then it is not worth increasing the diameter of the wheels by more than 25%. If you install tires with larger sizes, then there will be a risk of not moving. Well, if you still start, then you definitely won’t get far on a viscous coating.
Before tuning, you should prepare yourself in advance for the fact that the SUV will change its behavior. For example, Tucson can lose control even on flat road, however, the acceleration and speed of the car will increase. To make the car more passable, but not to lose control over it, it is worth increasing the clearance by no more than 4–6 cm. If you raise the car higher, there will be a risk of a shift in the center of gravity and a complete loss of control over the Korean SUV.
Before you start lifting, you need to decide on its method. There are two ways to raise the car body: in the process of working with the body or when performing operations with the suspension. Raising the body is based on the installation of additional spacers between it and the car frame. An increase in ground clearance of several centimeters is achieved without unnecessary intervention in automotive design. If you need a large clearance, then you will have to look for longer rods and install them instead of the standard ones. As additional work will have to be replaced brake pipes and wiring, as well as increase the wheel arches.
The SUV suspension lift is based on the complete replacement of almost all regular elements of the car system. Tucson owner 2008 onwards you will have to change the springs and springs or mount spacers in the area of \u200b\u200bthe support cups. Many experts advise combining these two methods of lifting. As a result, it will be possible to improve the off-road handling of the car and retain the main components of the standard suspension.
2 What will we get as a result of chip tuning?
Another effective method improve Korean SUV - . Just like a lift, absolutely every car owner who knows how to use a laptop can perform chip tuning. As a result, we will achieve a lot of improvements that will positively affect many indicators of the car. Given that correct execution chip tuning as a result we get:
- elimination of failures characteristic of pressing on the gas pedal;
- increasing the information content of the accelerator pedal;
- elimination of jerks during the transition from first to second gear;
- significant improvement in traction;
- improved dynamics on flat surfaces;
- reduced fuel consumption;
- accelerated warming up of the engine in cold weather;
- increase idle time.
Each of these changes significantly increases power and improves dynamics, as well as reduces fuel consumption. After performing chip tuning, the Hyundai Tucson engine adds about 20% of power, and the SUV's torque increases by 45%. As for reducing gas mileage, this is far from always achieved - it all depends on the firmware and the algorithm for performing the work. The only thing that pleases is that there will definitely not be an increase in fuel consumption by the car.
In order to get started, we need to be patient and certain programs. First of all, you need a licensed firmware. As practice shows, the best option for chipping Tucson 2008 will be a utility January 7.2. In addition to her, we need a bootloader Chiploader, which has the function of visualizing changes in the characteristics of the car. To work, you also need a laptop with an installed OS. Windows XP And K line adapter that will connect the ECU Hyundai engine and laptop. Before work, it is best to install the utility in advance Chiploader on a laptop.
The first step in the chip tuning process is to connect the laptop to the motor control unit. The latter is located under the steering column of the car. We remove the shield and connect one of the ends of the adapter to the block. The second end is connected to the laptop. Next, turn on the ignition of the car and wait for the folder with information about the control unit to light up on the display. As soon as this happens, open the folder and look for regular firmware with the file extension pdf. Next, install new firmware, selecting the vehicle data folder as the destination.
As soon as you start the installation, the bootloader will work Chiploader, which will offer to calibrate certain indicators of the SUV. The most important thing here is not to let your appetite go wild and make all the settings wisely. Remember that your safety depends on how you set up your car! Therefore, do not move the settings sliders all the way to the left, that is, 100%. It is best if they take a position at 50-60%. Thus, after chip tuning, the SUV will improve its power performance, but this will not make it less safe to operate. The same applies to the slider responsible for the consumption of gasoline. For him, the optimal position will be within 50-62%.
If you move the slider to the left or right, then after chip tuning, the Tucson will either not respond to gear changes or will make a crack when the ignition is turned on.
After making the settings, you need to check the result using the visualization program Chiploader. It will show what has changed in the operation of your car, and how its performance will increase or decrease as a result of chip tuning. If everything suits you, click on the "OK" button and see how the download line of the new utility runs. During installation, the car ignition should turn on and off several times. Once the string has green color, you can again press the "OK" button and turn off the ignition manually. Next, disconnect the wires and install the shield in its place under the steering column.
After performing chip tuning, you will almost immediately feel how your Hyundai Tucson has changed. From the first start, the car engine will literally roar. The car will feel much more confident on any pavement, and fuel consumption will drop by about 8-10%.
3 Car styling - we select the best options
After performing the lift and chip tuning, you can confidently begin to change the appearance of the car. 2008 Hyundai Tucson allows you to install on your body a lot of modern accessories, ranging from the installation of body kits and other additional elements for styling and ending with painting. It is quite possible that instead of the latter, the owner of a Korean SUV will like the very fashionable one today. In principle, it does not matter which tuning option you choose, the main thing is that, in addition to aesthetic functions, the modernization of your car also has practical benefits.
Taking into account the fact that we have already lifted the SUV and increased the diameter of the wheel arches, in order to give Hyundai a presentable appearance, we will have to replace the lining on wheel arches. Complete with this, you will also need to replace the regular mudguards, because the car after chip tuning will literally tear the road. Installation will not be superfluous at all protective accessories on the bottom of the car, as well as the installation of protection for thresholds. By installing additional pads, you will get rid of such a headache as complete replacement regular steel body parts, which after several years of active operation of the machine will turn into pieces of scrap metal.
A rather useful method of styling an SUV will be the installation of side mirrors equipped with additional turn signals. These details will help make your rides more agile and safer. The installation of a kengurin is considered very popular when upgrading the Hyundai Tucson. This element is vital for an SUV that is intended for regular off-road trips. Together with the installation of the kenguryatnik, you can turn your attention to the replacement regular headlights Korean auto. Xenon optics are perfect for Tucson, as well as additional lighting on the kengurin grille. The latter will improve visibility in dark time days and give the car an even more formidable appearance.
Another popular option is additional thresholds. They are more practical and almost do not change the appearance of the car. With their help, it will be possible to protect the suspension elements located between the upper part of the body and the bottom. For the 2008 Hyundai, it's best to buy universal metal sills that come with carbon fiber protective pads. Such accessories will protect the car and will last much longer than ordinary elements without carbon fiber.
To set the thresholds we need:
- Bulgarian;
- a set of keys;
- sandpaper;
- masking tape.
First, you need to close up the lower part of the body of the SUV with tape, after which you can start filing. To install universal thresholds, it is enough to cut off literally a few millimeters of the lower part of the body, after which the coating will need to be well cleaned with sandpaper. Next, we fix the sockets of the clamps that come with the thresholds, after which we try on the thresholds themselves.
It is very important that the accessories are the right size for the SUV. They must not protrude, otherwise you will not be able to turn later. After mounting the thresholds, they must be fixed as securely as possible. For this purpose, use the fasteners that are included with the thresholds.
