ECU Remapping is a way of fine tuning the vehicle’s ‘brain’ to make it perform more efficiently. All vehicles have an ECU (Engine Control Unit) and the data file stored on the ECU tells the engine how to run. What we do is simply recalibrate the software on the ECU, either by connecting to the vehicle’s OBD (On-Board Diagnostic) port, bench tuning or by adding a plug and play tuning module kit. We can improve a vehicle’s fuel economy by up to 15%, or increase power by up to 40% using these methods. Remapping is sometimes known as chip tuning, which is an old method of tuning.

This is one method of tuning a vehicle. It involves physically removing the vehicle’s ECU so that we can connect directly to the ECU’s circuit board which enables us to re-calibrate the vehicle’s ECU before putting everything back as we found it. We can complete all of this in-house. Naturally is takes us a bit longer to tune a vehicle this way but don’t worry, we will let you know which method of tuning we will use on your vehicle when you make your initial enquiry.

Stage 1 tune is a software re-calibration only.

Stage 2 tune is software re-calibraited to work with light engine modifications e.g Air Filter, exhaust, intercooler.

Stage 3 tune is software re-calibrated on the dyno for heavy engine modifications e.g Cold air intake, exhaust, intercooler, turbo upgrade and more.
