FAQs

The + (plus) and – (minus) buttons make small incremental adjustments to the  aggressiveness of each program. For example Sport (red program light) and 1 Green light (Plus 1) means that the Sport program is activated with 1 step up in aggressiveness. 

A standard accelerator will have lag, and most people tend to push down harder on their accelerator to encourage their vehicle to respond quicker. By putting more pressure on your foot pedal, you will use more fuel. By removing throttle lag, a person does not need to press harder on their accelerator to get a response. For this reason only, many people see a decrease in fuel consumption. 

Pressing your foot down harder, does not remove accelerator lag. The response from your accelerator comes from a sensor that sends a signal to the engine, which then responds. A Pedal Torq unit intercepts this signal; it is shortened to improve the response time. This allows you to achieve wide open throttle and access the engines full potential.  

If you take your vehicle off-road and are often driving 4WD tracks or climbing rocks, we recommend the Pedal Torq for its quick, easy dash-mount control.

A Pedal Torq Plus is ideal for a person that mainly drives on road or wants a set-and-forget unit. The Pedal Torq Plus will give you the ultimate response no matter what terrain you are driving on or in. With the Pedal Torq Plus, you keep your dash clear as everything is controlled via the Torqit Connect app on a smartphone.

The ECU that runs an engine in any vehicle has the ability to increase and decrease things such as fuel and turbo boost pressure. This reason here is why your car does not stall in cold weather. By measuring the scope of this extra margin of fuel/boost pressure, we can request the ECU to apply this ‘reserve’ when we want, and set how much is applied and where it is applied throughout the rev range.

It should not, provided the fuel system of your car is in good condition. By increasing engine output, you are in turn increasing engine efficiency. A simple explanation of the dynamic is that the transmission/gearbox of the vehicle will now be able to perform tasks in higher gears/speeds than before due to the increased output. By doing jobs in 5th gear that were previously performed in 4th gear, your car is now operating more efficiently. Although higher outputs have been achieved, fuel use should not increase, if anything it can potentially also improve.

It is also important to note that fuel pressure modules can also be adjusted so that they are actually robbing the vehicle of pressure, thus saving fuel overall. This method will not increase engine output but will save fuel.

All Torqit modules are robust and have a waterproof sleeve, however we do not claim anything to be 100% waterproof. A Torqit Power Module will endure most conditions you may put your vehicle through.

After completing several water crossings we advise that you inspect the module and ensure there are no leaks. Also it is best to remove the module when you are washing your engine/engine bay to prevent any possible water damage.

The most common reason for the engine light to come on after installing a module is failure to allow the vehicles’ CPU to fully shut down. It is important to follow the fitting instructions carefully and ensure that the vehicle has completely switched off. This usually takes about 4-5 minutes after the key is removed from the ignition and the doors are locked.

The reason a light has appeared is that the ECU has detected a circuit has been broken and it considers this as a fault and will illuminate the engine fault lamp. This will commonly go out after 30 minutes of driving. If the light stays on please contact Torqit technical support on 02 4017 1746 for further assistance.

No, Torqit modules always operate inside standard factory parameters. The Torqit module is installed downstream of the engine’s CPU, this leaves all factory error detection and operational safety systems intact. Torqit modules cannot harm the vehicles ECU.

No, after you remove the Torqit Power Module it is not possible to tell that there was one on the vehicle. Different from the normal Chip tuning where the original vehicle software is manipulated (OBD-Tuning) the Power Module is a residue-free upgrade.

When you receive your new tunes back will depend on what time you send the reading of your vehicle to Torqit’s tuners.

We aim to deliver on the below time frames:

• Received between 12am – 12pm, same day delivery
• Received between 12pm – 12am, next day delivery

You can also select your desired timeframe on Torqit’s ModuleMap portal.

Yes, you can install the ModuleMap yourself. You will need access to a laptop or computer with a USB port and an Internet connection. Alternatively, you can organise a Torqit authorised stockist to install it on your vehicle for you.

Torqit’s ModuleMap allows us to remotely reprogram your vehicle’s ECU to boost performance. We can change aspects such as fuel, boost, timing and speed limiters, for an instant increase in power, torque, and towing performance, without pushing your vehicle beyond its safety parameters.

No, you cannot change the ModuleMap tune whilst driving. To re-tune your vehicle, you must follow all on-screen prompts from the ModuleMap, this involves turning your vehicle on and off several times. It is also incredibly important that you connect a battery stabiliser while changing tunes.

No, the ModuleMap VIN locks itself to one vehicle. Once the ModuleMap is installed on a vehicle it will always be locked to that vehicle. If you sell or upgrade your vehicle, the ModuleMap should stay with the vehicle so the new owner can alter the tune if they like.

We have addressed all potential problems that could arise when using the ModuleMap to re-tune your vehicle. We have provided very clear and precise fitting instructions that should be followed exactly. It is also very important to connect a battery stabiliser to the vehicle anytime the ModuleMap is being used. If you do not use a battery stabiliser on your vehicle when using the ModuleMap, you risk wiping your entire ECU. This can be recovered but will take a few days to do so.

Torqit does not endorse ‘cowboy tuning’, or pushing your vehicle beyond its limits. Great care has been taken to ensure the ModuleMap is 100% safe and reliable. The ModuleMap is live-tuned by highly qualified vehicle software technicians, who gather all vehicle details such as tyre size, transmission, motor, fuel system, exhaust, kilometres, and more before tuning. The age, kilometres, and maintenance of a vehicle will all affect the outcome of the remap, which is why we highly recommend a vehicle health check beforehand.

Every element of your vehicle is considered before writing a safely enhanced file that is completely customised, and does not compromise your vehicle’s reliability.

Sometimes when your vehicle goes in for a service, they will perform a software update. If a dealership updates your vehicle’s ECU, this may cause your ModuleMap file to no longer work on the vehicle. You can advise the dealership not to perform a software update to your ECU, or simply reinstall the tune after the service.

An engine chip intercepts the data received and sent by the ECU. In comparison, a remap alters the actual ECU data. Each will differently impact the parameters of your vehicle. For more information on the difference between chipping and remapping, click here.

The ModuleMap is packaged with the following;

• ModuleMap
• OBDII plug
• USB to ModuleMap plug
• USB loaded with a link to the Torqit Portal, the MMP program, and fitting instructions
• Torqit Sticker
• Warranty card

In most cases, a torqit exhaust will fit around your aftermarket accessories. Torqit has paired up with many companies within the 4WD industry to ensure your enhanced 4WD can also have an improved performance exhaust. If you are unsure if a Torqit exhaust will fit with the aftermarket accessories on your vehicle, please contact our head office to discuss – 02 4017 1746.

Yes, it is illegal to remove a DPF from a vehicle. It will void your insurance and will also make your vehicle un-road worthy.  If you are found to have a DPF delete, you may be out of pocket thousands of dollars in fines and repair bills.

Yes, a Torqit DPF back performance exhaust will provide real power gains and a deep note. The power gains of each vehicle vary. You should review power figures on the specific exhaust product page for your vehicle. You can find this by navigating to the Vehicle Search on the Home Page

There has been some testing around whether a DPF delete will provide a DPF vehicle with increased performance. The test has shown, little to no real increase in performance. Please note this is a generalist comment and should not be treated as a sole fact. Each vehicle is different and may experience another outcome.

• The outside bung: M18 1.5mm thread
• The inside bung: 1/4 BSP non tapered or known as a straight thread

If your thread size is 1/4NPT (straight or tapered), you can use a small amount of sealant and tighten gently. We suggest finger tightening over using a spanner.

In this guide we cover off on common fitment questions, such as:

1. Why is the hanger not lining up with the bracket on my exhaust?
2. Why is my exhaust pipe not sitting evenly?
3. Do I need to use gasket goo/ sealant when installing an exhaust?
4. Why is my exhaust tapping on the heat shield?
5. Why can I not get my dump pipe off?
6. I can hear my exhaust rattling against something, how do I find out where its coming from?

All snorkels create induction noise, and this ‘audible breathing’ is more noticeable with stainless steel than with a plastic snorkel. It is a matter of personal preference however for most 4WD enthusiasts, this induction noise is part of the appeal.

Torqit’s stainless steel snorkels are covered by a 5-year product warranty.

Created from a single pipe that is mandrel bent onsite at Torqit, the one-piece construction of a stainless snorkel eliminates all joins and ensures the snorkel is completely sealed. Internally, the consistent diameter and minimal bends provide the engine with maximum airflow. Externally, the streamlined design minimises snagging on bushes when heading off-road.

Tried and tested in harsh Australian conditions, 304 grade stainless steel offers greater rigidity than plastic. It maintains its strength in extreme temperatures, without corroding or warping. Added bonus- a stainless steel snorkel gives your vehicle a unique look that stands out from the crowd.

Torqit’s airbox range includes a CNC bent and tapered lid which has been specifically designed for maximum air capacity. The lid design ensures the entire surface area of the filter is used for optimum filtering and airflow.

Torqit’s Stainless Steel Airbox range uses high-quality Ryco filters. These filters are readily available at auto parts stores around Australia, and have a much larger surface area than a standard airbox filter. This means higher airflow to your engine.

Over time, plastic airboxes are prone to losing their clamping ability due to expansion and contraction. If cracks form or the airbox is poorly sealed, dust and water can enter the airbox and potentially damage the vehicle’s engine, plus reduce power and fuel efficiency.

Torqit’s Airbox is made from 304 grade stainless steel, which means it stays structurally rigid when exposed to heat and water. By preventing the warping that is common in plastic airboxes, Torqit’s stainless steel airbox prevents loss of tension around the lid and remains tightly sealed in all conditions.

Torqit’s stainless steel airboxes are covered by a 5-year product warranty.
