ECU remapping, also called engine tuning, means adjusting the software in your car’s engine control unit (ECU) to improve performance, response and efficiency.
What is the ECU?
The ECU is the brain of your car. It controls fuel injection timing, turbo boost pressure, ignition timing and more. With the right tools and software, a skilled technician can fine-tune these settings.
The benefits
- More power and torque, for better acceleration and pulling power
- Sharper throttle response, especially when overtaking
- Better fuel economy with an economy-focused map
Plug-in tuning boxes
As well as remapping, there are plug-in throttle and tuning boxes with race, city and eco modes, some controlled from a phone app. Ask us which option suits your car.
Before you remap
Remapping doesn’t automatically void a warranty, but use a reputable specialist and tell your insurer about any modification. Ask us and we’ll talk you through it.
