The other main benefit of remapping will be a reduction in fuel consumption. As a driving enthusiast, you do not need or want such restrictions placed upon your vehicles ECU and its performance therefore you can benefit from the hidden power and torque locked away within your engine management system. Frequently, the vehicles power output is restricted by the manufacturer for no other reason than to ensure that the vehicle fits into a class to suit fleet buyers. This will make the power delivery a lot more linear, which in turn will make the vehicle feel a lot livelier to drive and the engine more flexible. Every engine will have its own unique map and by adjusting this we can fine tune the characteristics of the engine unleashing more power and in many cases reduce fuel consumption too.ĮCU remapping will not only improve the engines power and torque figures it will also sharpen the throttle response and widen the power-band. It is a completely safe process as it is just giving the engine the performance it should have had in the first place before all the compromises were applied to the original programming. These could include sub-standard fuels, extremes in temperature and altitude, differing emission laws and even the possibility that vehicle may not be serviced on a regular basis and in accordance with the manufacturers recommended instructions.ĮCU remapping is taking a read from the ECU’s processing chip of the vehicles standard compromised map and adjusting various parameters within the map such as fuel pressure, boost pressure (on turbocharged applications) ignition advance and throttle pedal control amongst others to release the true performance from the engine. This means instead of just optimising the ECU’s program or ‘map’ to deliver the best performance or the most fuel efficiency they have to make compromises to the map to take into account these potential differing operating conditions. We can determine if your ECU is already socketed.Some European ECU versions are not socketed from the factory, which may require sending us your engine computer for socketing.When a manufacturer develops a new car they have to take into consideration all of the conditions it may be subjected to in all of the regions in which they intend to sell this model.
Please contact us by phone or e-mail do discuss your preference. If you need help finding the ECU number or have any other questions, we can be reached by following the "contact us" link shown above.We offer several options for delivery. We will follow up your order with an email and tuning form which will guide us in personalizing your customized tune ( ex modifications (mods) to the vehicle, your preferred driving characteristics, and acceptable smoke level)
