What is ECU Remap or ECU Tuning? |
ECU Tuning refers to the process of replacing the
original factory installed map used by the ECU of a car, to a
tuned version. Remapping is another word commonly used in the UK
for the same meaning as ECU Tuning.
Typically the performance
gain you would expect after having your car remapped are
|
|
Performance gain in BHP & Torque
Petrol N/A
Engine:
5 - 10%
Petrol Turbocharged: 10 - 30%
Diesel Turbocharged: 20 - 40% |
|
Process of remapping a car
usually takes between 2 - 8 hours, depending on the type of car
model, as the procedures between cars could be completely
different. Some cars may even need up to 2 days to complete a
remap.

Difference between REMAP & CHIPTUNING? |
Chiptuning or chipping, as some
called it, is an ancient method of upgrading a car's
performance. It involves replacing the original eeprom/chip
in your ECU's board with a tuned version. The improvement is
usually 'raw' and not refined, usually suitable for old
vehicles Pre-2000. Despite being an old technology, there
are however, still a lot of chipping companies around
offering the services at reasonably cheap price. Although we
do not provide chiptuning services, we still retain the use
of this word in our website as it may relates better to some
people.
Remap on the other hand, is the
most complex and comprehensive procedure to alter the most
parameters in a car's ECU. It result in the smoothest,
highest gain and finest drivability experience with all the
enhanced parameters working harmoniously together.
Process involves extracting the map from the ECU, modifies
the map and then insert the modified map back into your ECU.
We keep a copy of the Original Map of your car.
Extraction process of the map can be quite different depending on
the type of vehicle. The easiest being extraction through OBDII, but not all cars has had this solution available.
Most Japanese, Korean and Malaysian made cars' map are still
being extracted manually by wire connection on the ECU
itself.

Why ECU Tune or Remap? |
During the development of an automobile the
manufacturers have to, in many respects, find compromises in
terms of fuel efficiency, horsepower output, drivability and
these days, the most important issue, exhaust emissions. Factors
like fuel quality, ambient temperature, air quality,
maintenance, operational circumstances etc. as well as financial
aspects i.e., insurance classifications, have to be taken under
consideration. The manufacturers have to assure operational
reliability for the final product worldwide, which means, that
in most cases the actual engine potential is not reached.
Therefore
in Stock Car, the ignition, injection, boost, - etc. patterns programmed, are
on the "safe side". In another word, too conservative.
Remapping your car unleashes the full potential
of your car engines. You will experience:-
-
More
Horsepower
-
More
Torque
-
Removal
of Speed Limiter
-
Improved throttle response
-
Smoother power delivery
-
Safer
overtaking
-
Better
fuel economy at cruising
The improvements above are all achieved by very
careful matching of parameters such as fuel delivery rates &
ignition timing along with adjustments to maps that
electronically limit torque, throttle response and top speed.
All this information in your ECU calibration file is carefully
optimised
to our exacting standards and then programmed back into your ECU
and the vehicle tested. |
