K-Tunes by Ernests · File service & videos
ECU tuning files
for your next job.
Let's get it done.
Got an original ECU read? Tell me about the car, the ECU and what you need. I handle the file side of K-Tunes and share the cars, tools and process on my channels.
WHAT K-TUNES IS ABOUT
Files for the job.
The process on camera.
K-Tunes is where I bring two things together: ECU tuning files for real jobs, and the cars and tools I show on my channels. If you need a file, tell me what you've read and what you're trying to achieve. If you want to see the process behind it, follow my journey.

What could your car
gain?

QUESTIONS I GET
Got a read?
Start here.
Here's what I'd want to know before getting into a file job.
Can I send you a file now?
Yes. Open my file portal to start a job. Keep your original read and the car, ECU and tool details together with your request.
What do I need before I send a tuning file request?
Keep the original ECU read, car and ECU details, the tool and method you used, any hardware changes and what you want from the file. I'll need that context with the job.
Do I have to make the map myself?
No. That's where my file service can help. Reading the ECU, preparing a calibration and writing it back are different parts of the job. Tell me what you need from the file, and watch my channels if you want to see how the process fits together.
Can I learn ECU tuning with you?
Yes. You can watch my reads and tool videos on YouTube, catch shorter clips on TikTok and Instagram, and talk with the community on Discord. Start with the basics and always check the procedure for the exact vehicle and tool you use.
Do you tune cars at a workshop?
Right now I'm sharing my work online. I haven't announced an in-person workshop service. If that changes, I'll put the details on my channels.
