About Engine Chip Tuning (ECU Remapping)

Modern cars have a computerized Engine Control Unit (ECU) which controls many sub systems including piston temperature, timing, fuel/air mixture, turbo. Our technicians can download data about these systems in the form of maps, then re-programme, or remap, the ECU to produce optimum settings. The result is an increase in power and torque, which in turn results in:

Increased top end speed
Increased mid range responsivness
Reduction in low rev flat spots
And, if driven economically, better MPG.

Many cars can be tuned diagnostically. OBDII remapping allows us to remap an ECU without removing the ECU from the car. Remapped software is uploaded direct to the ECU via the vehicle's diagnostic socket, allowing the performance conversion to be totally invisible with no soldering or removal of components. For other cars it is necessary to programme the ECU directly.

A unique feature of our service is that your vehicle's BHP will be tested before and after so you will be able to see the difference, as well as feel it.

Petrol (Naturally Aspirated). Remapping a petrol engine ECU often produces 10-15% BHP depending on exact specification. The engine will be more responsive on initial acceleration and produce more torque (up to 20%) throughout the entire rev range, giving more response on lighter throttle.

Petrol (Turbo). Remapping a petrol turbo engine ECU can produce 15-30% BHP depending on exact specification. The engine will be significantly more responsive with power coming in immediately relative to throttle input with no lagging at higher revs. This large increase in power & torque gives far more flexibility in all gears reducing the need to change down unnecessarily to overtake safely and quickly.

Diesel & Turbo. Remapping a diesel turbo engine ECU can produce increases of 25-40% BHP and 40-75% torque depending on exact specification. Diesel engines give the most impressive power and torque gains available. Extra power is gained throughout the entire rev range and under all load conditions.
