“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 amongst 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.
"Remapping" is a software change within a vehicle’s electronic control unit (ECU).
We modify the operating parameters within the map to increase the vehicle’s performance and/or economy, without the need to change or add any hardware.
In many cases the map stored within the ECU can be accessed via the onboard diagnostics port (OBD) which is usually situated within one metre of the driver’s seat. In some newer models the ECU needs to be removed for the modification to be carried out on the bench.
Once a Refined Remaps representative has taken a read of the ECU, they will upload it to our file writing team who will adjust the original calibration to maximize the vehicle’s performance, fuel economy, or even a blend of both.
Depending on the vehicle and ECU type the process normally takes 1 - 2 hours, although bench programming takes slightly longer.
Refined Remaps works to the highest standards in all aspects of operation, including our business ethics. You can be assured of the following:
