If you've got a relatively modern car, you'll want to ensure that your vehicle and engine is carefully maintained. Looking after your car, and getting regular service check-ups with qualified professionals will ensure that you get the most out of your motor, enhancing performance and potentially prolonging the lifespan of your vehicle.
Maximising speed, power, and performance.
Remap car, sometimes referred to as 'chipping' or 'chip tuning', is an important part of long term maintenance. The process involves fine-tuning the vehicle's Electronic Control Unit, also called the Engine Control Unit, and known commonly as the ECU. The remapping process involves tweaking and updating the software on the ECU chip, in order to maximise speed, power, and performance.
Although many of us think of our cars as machines that get us from A to B, modern cars depend on sophisticated computer systems, which do far more than simply help us play music or navigate using Sat-Nav as we drive. The ECU chip is a small microchip, found inside the 'little black box' in your car. The software on this computer chip holds important information that affects a wide range of key features of your vehicle, such as fuel economy, performance, and power.
Chip tuning has been used since the 1980s, with the introduction of engine computers, but it is only in the last twenty years that the process of ECU remapping has really taken off. Modern manufacturers have made software accessible and easier to tweak with fine-tuning via an on-board diagnostics system, and there are increasingly complex systems in place to control the engine, fuel consumption, and RPM of your vehicle. The manufacturer's settings on newer models mean that professionals with the right equipment can carry out ECU remaps as part of a service of modern vehicles.
