ECU Remapping
ECU remapping, also known as car remapping or chip tuning, is the process of modifying the settings of a car’s engine control unit (ECU) to improve its performance, power, and efficiency based on the owner’s preferences. It involves customising how the engine operates to improve things like the throttle response, give more power and provide you maximum driving whilst staying within legal limitations.
Process:
-
A car remap is done with specialised tuning software on a computer which connects to the car’s ECU.
-
During the tuning process, various parameters of the car's engine’s operation such as fuel injection, ignition timing, and turbo boost are adjusted to enhance performance.
-
The remap file is customised to suit the specific make and model of the car, as well as any performance upgrades installed.
Benefits:
-
One of the most common changes done during ECU remaps is increasing the power capabilities of the engine.
-
Resulting in quicker acceleration and faster top speeds due to a noticeable increase in output.
Stage 1 Remap:
Our stage 1 remap offers a light reprogramming of your engine’s settings to provide a noticeable change in performance. Created specifically for your vehicle without any hardware upgrades, a Stage 1 Remap enhances fuel economy whilst also boosting power and torque. This upgrade eliminates flat spots, offering a more responsive driving experience without sacrificing reliability. This option can be performed at your home or place of work.
Stage 2 Remap:
For those looking for a stage 2 remap additional engine modifications such as a new air filter and exhaust would be needed and could not be performed at your home or work but at our premises in Stourbridge.
