ECU Remapping:
Ok lets start of with ECU remapping which is the software program that’s in control of the “Engine Management System”, also known as the “Engine Control Unit” (ECU).

The main reason people go for ECU remapping in their car is because all car manufacturers set a default value to all that’s set within the ECU, due to some countries having to have lower settings because of laws and the different climate, weather and a number of other factors. This means that no ECU is set to its max performance for a single country, meaning that its only optimized for a mixed environment. This stops your car from performing at its best levels, the best way to change this and get your car running at its best for our climate is with ECU remapping.

You should preform ECU remapping on your car if you have made modifications such as exhaust, intake mods and engine parts. These “bolt on” modifications such as exhausts will alter the way a car engine flows and a change in air flow to your vehicles fuel ratio will often be caused by this type of modification. You could be losing performance through your fuel tables if you do not have your car remapped after such changes and modifications.

The most common ways in which ECU modifications are performed is by ECU remapping which is when a specialist tuner will use a OBD flash tool to make edits to your vehicles ECU to give it better performance or a replacement of the ECU may be done, this is when your current ECU is replaced with a whole new ECU in its place.

OBD Remapping:
OBD or On Board Diagnostics is the terminology meaning a cars (or any motor vehicles) self diagnostics and reporting capabilities of the vehicles engine. On board diagnostics allows you to access the information about your vehicles state and various other sub systems to allow them to be checked and edited if needed. As OBD has grown and changed through the years we have seen some major changes is the on board diagnostics systems, making what can be done with OBD much better and with more in-depth diagnostic capabilities, since it was first introduced early in the 1980′s.

Chip Tuning:
Is all about editing a vehicles controls and how it handles, this is done with the editing of the EPROM which if done correctly will give you much better performance in many ways including more power, lower emissions, cheaper fuel and many more engine improvements.

As times have changed so has the possibilities of chip tuning and car remapping, by this we mean the ways that remapping and chip tuning have improved giving us more power with this type of car mod due to the many things that can now be edited and changed in this way. Since the early 1990′s remapping and chip tuning have become more and more modern along with all electrical products, opening up more and more ways in which we can edit and improve the cars performance such as; ABS, valve timing, electronic throttle control, automatic transmission, boost control (turbo charged engines), electronic stability control, speed governor and many more factors of a vehicles engine.
