Is Vehicle Remapping For You?

By: Michiel Van Kets Home | Automotive


Most people don't realise that their vehicle's engine system has been set up in such a way that it actually restricts the power. When on the production line in the factory settings are put into place that are meant to enable the engine to cope with all kinds of environments and conditions. However this isn't a huge problem, if you want your car to drive at its maximum then you just need to check out ECU remapping technology which retunes the engine to its optimum level and bumps up the BHP.

Manufacturers generally place certain restrictions on an engine's elements to take into consideration the possibility of poor maintenance, low quality fuel and other factors that can affect the length of its life span. With most engines set at a default safety limit they can't function as well as they should, however in countries where roads are well-maintained, high quality fuel is available and most drivers' get their vehicles serviced regularly and keep their car maintained, the ECU safety limit isn't really necessary and can be altered for improvements.

Engines are increasingly dependant on computer's to control and manage the various functions of a vehicle. Basically every engine has a set of sensors which supervise working parts of the vehicle including the throttle position, crank position and airflow, they send signals to the ECU which processes this information to guarantee the engine operates at peak performance for driving conditions. After performance tuning experts have been to work remapping, the difference is remarkable with an enhanced throttle response, more power on tap and a more enthusiastic engine.

Choosing to remap equals improved efficiency, the procedure is completed by skilled specialists who can tune the engine to perform at a much higher level than previously and gives the potential to discharge extra power and torque from the engine.

Engine remapping and tuning service's are carried out by specialists who read the vehicles original map stored on the ECU, they then reprogram some of the parameters to achieve the desired effect. Elements that can be modified include the pressure of fuel, injection of fuel and fuel timing with the results that a turbo engine can increase its performance by an impressive 30 or 40%. Once the new settings are completed you'll find the car responds to orders a lot faster and manoeuvers are smoother.

There are two levels of tuning options for most vehicles, an economy engine tuning option and a performance engine tuning option. The economy version is popular as it fine-tunes the motor vehicles software with the purpose of improving the number of miles per gallon and to impove the quality of driving. Typical fuel savings of 10-20% are not uncommmon in many instances as well as an increase in torque and power.

Commercial businesses with a large fleet to manage often choose the economy version as fuel bills are drastically cut thus saving the business money, and it can reduce your carbon footprint which is a good selling point to clients.

The second level of car tuning guarantees that you get a unique power upgrade, within TUV approved levels, where you'll be more than happy with the additional power and enhanced driving experiences.

A diesel remap doesn't cause any additional depreciation to a vehicle and can actually reduce the strain on the gearbox and clutch. Always choose a service that offers a money back guarantee, if you're not satisfied they should reprogram it back to your original file and refund your money. Check this aspect before you decide on any particular service as some guarantee 7 days whilst others will offer a lifetime so there can be a big difference. Each vehicle is different so you need to talk to the experts first to see what is possible for the type of vehicle you have and the improvements you can expect.
