About Us - Engine Remapping - Melbourne

 All modern cars and vans on the road today have an ECU (ENGINE CONTROL  UNIT). This Engine Control Unit can almost be described as the vehicle's  ‘brain’ and contains a small processor that takes information from  various sensors throughout the engine. It analyses information such as the engine temperature, accelerator pedal angle, oxygen content in the  burnt exhaust gases as well as many more parameters. Using the information from these sensors it can then add the right quantity of  fuel, at just the right time to provide a good mix of fuel economy,  performance and emission control when pulling away, overtaking,  pottering down the road or zooming down the highway. Engine Remapping or Car Chiptuning or Diesel Tuning is a cost effective way to increase power and pays for itself over time. 

When a manufacturer develops a new car they have to take into consideration all of the conditions it may be subjected to in all of the regions / countries in which they intend to sell this model. This means instead of  just optimising the ECU’s program or ‘map’ to deliver the best  performance or the most fuel efficiency they have to make compromises to the map to take into account these potential differing operating  conditions. These could include sub-standard fuels, extremes in  temperature and altitude, differing emission laws and even the  possibility that vehicle may not be serviced on a regular basis and in  accordance with the manufacturers recommended instructions.

ECU remapping is taking a read from the ECU’s  processing chip of the vehicles standard compromised map and adjusting  various parameters within the map such as fuel pressure, boost pressure  (on turbocharged applications) ignition advance and throttle pedal  control among others to release the true performance from the engine.  It is a completely safe process as it is just giving the engine the  performance it should have had in the first place before all the  compromises were applied to the original programming. Every engine will have its own unique map and by adjusting this we can fine tune the  characteristics of the engine; unleashing more power and in many cases  reduce fuel consumption too. Engine Remapping or Car Chiptuning or Diesel Tuning works in your favour!

 ECU remapping will not only improve the engines power and torque  figures it will also sharpen the throttle response and widen the  power-band. This will make the power delivery a lot more linear, which  in turn will make the vehicle feel a lot livelier to drive and the  engine more flexible. Frequently, the vehicles power output is restricted by the manufacturer for no other reason than to ensure that  the vehicle fits into a class to suit fleet buyers. As a driving  enthusiast, you do not need or want such restrictions placed upon your  vehicles ECU and its performance therefore you can benefit from the  hidden power and torque locked away within your engine management  system.

The other main benefit of remapping will be a  reduction in fuel consumption. With the extra torque especially at the  bottom of the rev range you will see a fuel saving as it will require  less throttle input to maintain highway speeds,  you can drive in a  higher gear at a slower speed as well as helping significantly when  fully laden, towing or on gradients and even in start stop traffic. 

Many see the modern crop of Turbocharged diesels as the future of  road car tuning. Even in North America, a nation famed for its love of  the petrol engine is starting to come around to the benefits of turbo diesel passenger cars in particular. These engines offer fantastic potential for reliable low cost tuning without removing any of the  appeal of buying and running a turbo diesel powered vehicle, such as  economy, reliability and longevity. After your ECU upgrade to your turbocharged diesel engine, you will enjoy: 

Increased torque

Better throttle response

Smoother power delivery

Improved fuel economy

Safer overtaking

 Turbocharged petrol engines have always been regarded as the sports  flagship engine for good reason. They boast far higher power &  torque figures than a non-turbocharged power-plant with similar  displacement and are usually fitted to the manufacturer's flagship  models. They are also ideal candidates for remapping as the ECU also  controls the wastegate (turbo boost pressure control).

After your ECU upgrade to your turbocharged petrol engine, you will enjoy: 

Increased horsepower

Increased torque

Better throttle response

Smoother power delivery

Safer overtaking

he normally aspirated petrol engine, whilst not being the easiest of  engines to tune, can still benefit from a 10-15% power increase with  added torque by careful reprogramming of various engine parameters within the map.                                 Parameters such as the fuel and ignition  curves can be fine tuned to give better power & torque output. On  some engines the camshaft timing can also be tuned within the map,  giving additional improvements.                         

In many cases, 'after market' tuning items  such as free flowing exhausts, high flow air filters and re-profiled  camshafts can only be fully utilised by the engine once the necessary  adjustments have been made within the ECU.

Careful re-calibration of the correct  maps can unlock the potential of your new engine parts. Further power  gains may also be available when a higher octane fuel is used, allowing  for more ignition timing.
