What is Engine Remapping/ Chip tuning?

Engine remapping will generally refer to changing key parts of the information stored in a vehicle’s electronic control unit (ECU) with the purpose of achieving better performance (more power, better fuel economy).

Why is this possible?

This is possible because engine manufacturers generally take a conservative approach in the ECU map to allow for:

  • individual engine variations
  • infrequent servicing
  • poor-quality fuel
  • differences in climate (low temp/high temp, low pressure/high pressure)
  • strict emission regulation
