What is ECU Remapping?

All modern vehicles are fitted with an Engine Control Unit or ‘ECU’. This is the engines ‘brain’ and it has evolved from a simple circuit that controlled the ignition to a very sophisticated computer that now controls virtually every aspect of engine function. These functions include the amount of boost the turbo will create, when and how much fuel is injected, when the spark plugs fire, what pressure the fuel rail runs at, variable valve timing, throttle opening, throttle response rate, AdBlue injection, Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR), Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) function and regeneration.

When car manufacturers programme this ECU to control engine function, they must be very liberal with the setting, considering the various markets that the car may end up in, the lack of maintenance certain owners will embellish on the car, poor fuel quality etc, etc.

Car manufacturers will also down tune certain vehicles so that they fit into certain market categories as well as certain insurance categories. Many times, a lower model will be a down tuned higher model, using exactly the same engine components but simply down mapped at the factory to produce lower power.

ECU remapping is the science of tuning the engines running parameters to achieve a higher state of tune. An ECU that is well remapped will result in a car that not only produces more power and torque it also returns a higher MPG and will drive smoother and be far more responsive that its standard counterpart.

We have the software, tools, technology and perhaps most importantly, the tuning experience to fine tune and remap your vehicle’s ECU to achieve truly remarkable results. 

Sound like bold claims? All our ECU Remapping comes with a 14 day 100% no quibble guarantee. If you’re not 100% satisfied with the result of your ECU remap we will return your car to standard and give you a full refund. (T&Cs apply)
