Workshop Updates
Every recent post from the Piranha Performance Facebook page — builds in progress, calibration sessions, DPF specialist clean-ups, diagnostics, and cluster restorations. Updated live from our page.

These newer ECUs were, until recently, effectively untunable. Access required an invasive glitch procedure involving soldering directly to the ECU board, including removing and re-fitting a microscopic component — with obvious additional risk. We’ve now invested in the latest Korhex tooling, allowing us to access and tune these locked ECUs with far less physical intervention and considerably less risk. New technology, new coverage, safer ECU access. #korhex #magicengeneering

1992 Honda Prelude cluster repair. Some of my work notes of this repair. Lucky we caught this just in time, before any irreversible damage was done. Tacho, speedo and clock now all work as they should bringing this massive, 1.2m wide cluster back to life.

Modern turbo engines live and die by boost control — and the factory diverter valve is often the weakest link in an otherwise strong setup.The RacingLine Performance Diverter Valve replaces the factory unit with a precision-engineered, billet aluminium valve featuring a robust piston-based design. #piranhaperformance #racingline

Customer stated that he wants his car to stop better. 345mm brake setup from Golf 7 GTI PP and some quality sport shocks will make sure of that! This is the recipe for a fun, safe fast road car.

The results of our expertise: - Cheap little car. - Used some parts left over from other projects. - A few more choice performance parts. - A well thought out chassis setup. All our builds focus on drivable, fast road cars that are a heap of fun, and can play way above their class. 2nd over all at the MDC’s last Gymkana Event with the “shitbox”

Toyota Aygo instrument repair. Indicator LEDs replaced. This is a perfect example of extreme cost curring by manufacturers which will imcrease repair costs to the end user. Toyota (or PSA) decided to integrate the body module with the instrument cluster. They prob saved a few euros in wiring. BUT if either the cluster of the body module were to fail, both would need to be replaced together at a substantially higher cost than if they were seperate units. Not to mention that this repair took more than twice as long as it would with a “normal” cluster.

Good morning. Some ecus still need to be opened up and “boot” tuned, even though most modern ecus can be OBD or bench tuned.
