Vehicle Remapping
What is vehicle remapping?
Every car engine today is controlled by one or more computers. These computers are called ECU’s ( Electronic Control Unit ), or ECM’s (Engine Control Module ). Inside each ECU is a microprocessor which is essentially a powerful microchip that holds most, or all of the engine running parameters by way of computer software, a language that few people understand.
When a vehicle is built it will have a stock or standard MAP installed within the microprocessor. ECU remapping is the manipulation of the software held in the ECU microprocessor to enable optimum driveability for the driver.
What are the benefits of remapping your vehicle?
The benefits of remapping your vehicle can be many and varied. The power gains achieved can be astonishing, with up to 40bhp more on an average turbo diesel car, and 70 Nm of extra torque, depending on vehicle make and model.
Fuel savings can also be up by 15%, therefore if your car is returning an average of 30mpg , you could potentially see a further 4.5 mpg from an economy remap.
Some mapping companies may quote higher figures than those above in a bid to draw unsuspecting victims in. The figures we quote are realistic and proven. We have had feedback from some customers who are claiming savings on fuel usage well in excess of 20%, however this could be partly down to driving style and / or driving conditions, hence why we quote the way we do.
We offer a 30 day money back guarantee, giving our customers the opportunity to raise any concerns about their fuel consumption figures or the driveability of their vehicle, and if they are not completely satisfied we will return the vehicle to the original state and give a full no quibble refund within this 30 day period.
Performance
Performance mapping is designed to unleash the full potential of your car engine.
Petrol and Diesel vehicles alike can gain improvements in performance with the largest gains being turbo diesel vehicles.
Extra power and torque is available as soon as you push the throttle pedal, and throttle response time is improved giving you a smoother more reactive power delivery.
Performance maps are largely used when towing or carrying heavy loads on a regular basis.
Many of our customers like their cars to perform with the optimum power which the designers had in mind, and not sluggish as they often are when they come off the forecourt.
A significant number of our customers have their car remapped as an alternative to buying a new one, more often than not it’s less costly and gives them the excitement they desire from a new car.
In some cases there will be a small fuel saving benefit because the engine runs more efficiency, however with this option there can be no certainty.
Blend
A blend map is a combination of power and economy.
Overall, this is the most popular customer choice.
The expected power gains will be somewhere between those of a performance map and an economy map and although not a full on fuel saving, there should still be a significant difference from what you were getting before the remap, dependent on your driving style.
Apart from the fuel saving you will notice a marked improvement in the performance of your vehicle.
DPF disabling (Diesel particulate filter)
Whilst not always ethical, nor legal when used on a public highway, we can still carry out DPF deletion software if required for use on track days, or on private land.
There have been recent developments and legal restrictions in the motor industry which does not allow the removal of DPF, EGR, Lambda sensors or any other emission related component on a vehicle that is going to be used on a public highway.
We will remove DPF software as long as certain criteria is met.
EGR disabling (exhaust gas recirculation)
Whilst not always ethical, nor legal when used on a public highway, we can still carry out EGR deletion software if required for use on track days, or on private land.
There have been recent developments and legal restrictions in the motor industry which does not allow the removal of DPF, EGR, Lambda sensors or any other emission related component on a vehicle that is going to be used on a public highway.
We will remove EGR software as long as certain criteria is met.
Economy
Economy mapping is designed with fuel saving as a priority.
Aimed at fleet operators, our economy maps can produce fuel savings of up to 20%.
Not only do you get a substantial fuel saving, but there will be a noticeable improvement in the way the vehicle drives.
The torque is delivered lower in the rev range and as such, fewer gear changes are needed and less throttle.
The engine runs more smoothly, throttle response is more instant and you will notice a much more positive feel about the whole thing.
