What is ECU Remapping?

ECU remapping is a great way to release more potential from your vehicle. We do this by writing to the ECU’s Eprom Chip with custom tuned data to alter the fuel/air ratios, ignition timing and much more. Up until recent years, the only way to achieve this was by a technique called Chip-Tuning whereby we’d have to take out the existing Eprom chip or add a writeable chip to the PCB, one which could be read and written to by tuning software. Chip-Tuning is not as easy and can be very costly and there are a lot of risk factors involved when Chip-Tuning.

All cars from 2000 to 2010 can be ECU Remapped in the more efficient manor, making it a less expensive and a more viable and great way for our customers gain that extra power & fuel economy that they seek.

What Kind Of Gains Could I Expect From ECU Remapping?

Gains will always vary from vehicle to vehicle. Two identical vehicles could have different power gains (dependant on the health state of the engine and other mechanical components). Having other modifications such as an upgraded air filter, air induction system or a free flowing upgraded exhaust system can also greatly add value the results of an ECU remap. Below we’ve put together a rough guide line to go by, based on your vehicles factory BHP rating.

Petrol Non-Turbo     10-15% more bhp       15-20% more torque
Petrol Turbo               15-30% more bhp       20-40% more torque
Diesel Non-Turbo     20-30% more bhp      15-30% more torque
Diesel Turbo               30-50% more bhp       30-75% more torque

From the chart above you can see the gains are very desirable & all completely safe.
