ECU Remapping
What is ECU Remapping ?
Most vehicles have what is called an ECU (or Engine Control Unit) which is a computer that controls how
the engine works.
Vehicle manufacturers automatically de-tune the engine by setting the software on the ECU to a default
setting before sending the vehicle out. This is done because the manufacturers sell their vehicles all over
the world, this means that the software settings inside the ECU have to take into account the different
climates, laws & restrictions and the varying quality of fuels.
ECU Remapping is modifying the original software in the ECU
to allow the engine to run at it's optimum without any restrictions,
this allows the engine to run as it was meant to.
Most of the remapping that we do is done by plugging special reading and writing equipment into your
cars serial port (or OBD port) which then overwrites the original engine software with a new version to
enhance the engine performance, we also do Chip Tuning, BDM, Tricore and other methods of doing the
remap, if you would like more information about what is involved in ECU Remapping then continue
reading below which goes into quite a bit of detail.
OBD Remapping Stage1 (Most Vehicles from 2000 onwards)
This is the easiest way to remap your vehicle for us and is usually the cheapest method for you, it is done
by connecting our tuning tool to the OBD port located within your car and downloading the tuning parts
within. We will then open this file with our tuning software and make all the necessary increases where
required.
When we have completed all the necessary changes required we will then upload the new map back into
your vehicle through the OBD port and then the remap is complete.
Bench Remapping (Some vehicles require the removal of the ECU)
On some vehicles it becomes necessary to remove the ECU to carry out the remap, this can be because
a virtual file isn't available for the software or it could be a vehicle that is not supported by the OBD
method of tuning.
It would then need wires connecting to the ECU ports using push on wires, this enables the protection of
the ECU to be bypassed, 90% of bench remapping doesn't require the ECU to be opened up.
In some cases it is necessary to open the ECU and connect a boot pin wire to the inside to carry out the
remap but this has become very rare now.
Chip Tuning (Lots of vehicles before 2000 need the ECU removing and the chips changed)
This is the most difficult type of ecu remapping for us and is priced accordingly, with this method we will
need to remove the ECU the same as we do with the tricore system above and once we have it on the
bench we will need to unsolder the chip that contains all the tuning software and use a chip reader/writer
to copy all the files that are contained in the chip, we will then make all the necessary changes as with
the above methods, when this is complete we will then write the maps back to your chip, (some chips are
not rewritable so we would need to replace it with the same equivalent) we will then reinstall the ECU and
then the remap is complete.
