Remapping
ECUs (Engine Control Unit) can often be remapped to produce impressive and remarkable differences to the standard set-up. The remapping processes can be complicated so German Car Clinic is pleased to provide a little guidance here for your information.
An ECU controls the engine on most modern vehicle engines and determines most characteristics of the engine’s functionality and performance, including boost pressure, ignition timing, and the ratio of air to fuel.
During vehicle production, the manufacturer will standardise these factory settings, but it’s possible to alter them through a process called remapping. This can produce increases in performance or economy, sometimes both, and involves changing some of the set characteristics dependent on preferences. These days, an increased awareness exists amongst owners, and this has given rise to a greater demand for vehicle modifications using software remapping services from third-party or independent garages.
Naturally, the remapping processes are often down to the technical capabilities and experience of the garage providing the modifications so it’s important to use a garage known to be trustworthy as well as technically capable, and who will achieve the desired results safely and reliably.
