First batch of Autotech APC (Autotech Program Carrier) are now available 

The new APC is a handheld programming device which allows you to program your Volvo with Autotech software by yourself! Designed and developed exclusively for HLM / ATM by Global Automotive Technologies, the APC brings Autotech upgrades to everyone everywhere!

The APC does not require a laptop whilst programming the car which means you don't need to carry a laptop around if you want to change the software tuning in the ECM. The APC can store up to Five tunes inside which can be downloaded to the APC device from any computer connected to the internet using a standard USB cable and special sync software.

Although the APC device has the capacity to store up to FIVE tunes internally, you can have an unlimited number of tunes made available which can be downloaded to the APC at any time.

If you own more than one Volvo, your APC can be used to program more than one car. You don't need a separate APC for each car - simply purchase the ATM tune software for each of your other cars and download them to the APC as required. The APC has built in error checks to ensure you can only program a car with the correct software.

The APC also provides basic diagnostics functions allowing you to read and clear DTCs, which is useful if you ever get a CEL or engine running problems that you wish to diagnose.

Vehicles supported: All Volvo models 1999-2010, including the new 2007+ S80/V70/XC60 Euro 4 and Euro 5 EDC17 diesels.

HLM Hybrid - For Volvo V70/S60 2.4 T5 MY 2005 onwards

HLM recently finished a hybrid turbo conversion on a Volvo V70 2.4 T5 MY 2005 and achieved with Oscalli and Diagnos what we were unable to extract out of Rica, a genuine 340 bhp (320 at the wheels) 440 nm of Torque (over 400 Nm all the way from 2500 rpm to 5500 rpm) with really good/safe fuelling i.e. Richer than lambda 1 (approx 13:1 all the way to 4500 rpm and then 11:1 there after).  This was achieved with a little as 1.2 bar of steady turbo boost pressure up to 5000 rpm and then 1.3 there after. 

Hamish Lindsay Proprietor of HLM said " it was like driving a 2 wheel drive nuclear reactor! It did take a while to get the map right but Richard of Oscalli and Chris from Diagnos stuck at it and didn't disappear to the coffee shop or blank phone calls or emails when we needed the software changing - thank you guys!"

We have finally seen the stunning results that we always expected from our hybrid turbo. The end result being 20 more bhp out of an ordinary T5 than we have ever seen on our Dynojet 224 xlc rolling road  from a Rica Engineering 'tuned' S60R! If somebody wants to build an engine strong enough this Turbo is happy to produce 1.6 bar of boost so even more is definitely on the cards.

Software download times for Autologic tunes now only 15 minutes!

Long gone are the days that downloads took 1-3 hours for modern Volvo's.  We have been working hard with Diagnos to reduce the download times to between 7 and 15 minutes so that we can tune a car and rolling road it before and after the tune in under an hour.

HLM Tunes the ALL NEW Volvo V70 2.5 T Via the OBD Port

This car tunes from 200 HP to 235 HP and with an increase of 60 nm of Torque.

Again HLM Tuning is leading the UK Volvo Tuning market in being able to tune the latest Volvos via the OBDII port.  In conjunction with Diagnos we are now able to offer a tune that brings the power of this car above that of its smaller sibling the V50 T5 and it can easily out perform the bigger brother the V70 3.2 Geartronic because it is producing more power and torque lower down the rev range.  This tune is performed without invading your Engine Control Module.

HLM Tuning will tune this car for £399 including VAT, Diagnostics and a before/after rolling road power run.

13/06/2007 - Chip Tuning celebrate historical lap record success at Cadwell Park

   

History was made at Cadwell Park on Sunday as Formula Jedi racer Nigel Reuben set the fastest ever race lap around the 2.1-mile Lincolnshire circuit, using a GSXR1000 engine with Power Commander mapped by Chip Tuning Ltd, Dynojet Power Commander Tuning Centre, using Dynojet Tuning Link. Reigning Jedi champion Reuben flew - literally - around Cadwell in the fifth round of the series, setting a best lap of 1 minute 22.225 seconds, an average speed of 95.139mph. The previous record had been held by Shaun Balfe, who set the benchmark at 1m 22.5s in 2005 at the wheel of a Radical SR8 sports racer.
Reuben, who went on to take his third win of the season, was ecstatic to achieve such a feat in his motorcycle-engined single-seater.

"I got the lead from the start and I only had one lap to go for it because we catch the backmarkers so quickly round Cadwell so the pressure was certainly on," said Reuben. "I went flat around Coppice and Charlies and it just stuck. It was a beautiful lap and being in the history books of a track like Cadwell Park is something very special."

The lap marked a significant step forward in performance for the 1000cc Jedi racers as the previous Cadwell record for the series was 1m 24.11s, nearly two seconds slower.

Frank Wrathall, MD of Dynojet UK commented: 'It's great to be associated with a history making record such as this. Thanks to Chip Tuning Ltd of Bromsgrove, using their model 224xlc Dynojet Dyno and Tuning Link software'.
