WHAT IS ECU REMAPPING?

Most modern trucks, buses, tractors and agricultural machinery have engine control units (ECUs).

The software within these engine control units has been programmed very conservatively by the manufacturer with generic settings, to cater for the most common performance requirements, climatic conditions, fuel quality etc.

These settings can be improved, so that your vehicle will perform optimally for the conditions in which you intend to use it.

When we "re-map" a vehicle, we adjust all the various software settings to make sure the vehicle performs exactly the way our client needs it to perform, in the conditions that the vehicle will be operating in.

FAQ
What motoring benefits will be achieved through re-mapping?


Results will vary from vehicle to vehicle, but typically the re-mapped vehicle will enjoy these benefits immediately:

• Increased performance
• Increased torque
• Increased fuel efficiency
• Prolonged life of the engine, due to increased efficiencies

As a guide, these gains could be typically quantified as follows:

• Road vehicles: 20-30% more power
• Petrol (non-turbo): 10-15% more power
• Petrol (turbo): 20-30% more power
• Diesel (turbo): 25-35% more power

As a result of these gains, our clients are able to work faster. For example, a client of ours has achieved a 6-13% fuel saving on his tractors; and his harvesters now use five litres of fuel less per hectare.

What sort of vehicles do you work with?


We can re-map most of the following vehicles and machinery, depending on make or model, the key is if your vehicle has an electronic injection pump or common rail fuel system:

• Trucks
• Buses
• Tractors
• Agricultural vehicles, Harvesters etc.
• Boats
• Cars

Will a remap damage my engine?


No, not if the job is completed properly (which we guarantee to do).

Can anything go wrong?


Yes. If the technician doesn't know what they are doing, they can:

• Damage the vehicles engine control unit
• Cause the vehicle to go into "limp mode"
• Cause a dangerous "over-boost" in power
• Cause damage to expensive engine parts (including the drive-train)

For these reasons, we strongly recommend that you be very wary of cheap re-mapping solutions, plug-in products etc, especially those that are promoted online. These products are not a substitute for a comprehensive re-mapping carried out by an experienced, qualified re-mapping specialist.

Our technicians are fully-qualified and experienced and we guarantee our results.

Do you offer any guarantees?


Yes. We guarantee the following:

• That you will achieve at least a 10% improvement in performance or fuel efficiency, otherwise we will re-map the vehicle until those improvements are achieved.
• If these improvements are still not achieved, we will refund your re-mapping fee in full.

What if the manufacturer re-sets my vehicle's software to standard after it has been re-mapped?


We will re-map your new ECU at no extra cost to you, as long as you are still the owner.

How much does it cost?


Prices vary, depending on the vehicle involved. We provide a fixed-price quote before commencing any job, thereby giving absolute confidence for our clients.

When do I have to pay you?


Our fee is due upon completion of the job. We may be able to offer terms for larger contracts.

Is it possible to increase power and yet still achieve fuel efficiency?


Yes. The reasons for this are reasonably complex and technical but please feel free to call us to find out more.
