Earlier last we had the pleasure of tuning a very discreet but already very fast German executive saloon.

Customer complained that pulling out of jucntions and at roundabouts, the car was very hesitant. We set out to address this issue and add our own bespoke map on the ECU.
According to the database its a 295bhp output engine, however for us to talk to the ECU we had to go in and use 308bhp engine, (same ECU’s)

Dyno awaits đ
295bhp and 443lb ft tuned to
360bhp and 510 lb ft
or 400bhp and 570lb ft

What is remapping?
Engine remapping has become increasingly popular in recent years, as drivers become more familiar with the little black boxes that control their cars vital functions, and more aware of the opportunities to âtweakâ the settings.
The process used to be called chipping, as it literally meant swapping a microchip in your carâs Electronic Control Unit (ECU) with a modified version. Nowadays the black art has advanced to the point where home-brewed engine remapping software is available to download from various internet groups for brave and/or tech-savvy home-tuners who like to experiment. Weâd never recommend that route, as unsurprisingly thereâs a significant risk of causing expensive engine damage if a remap is not done properly.
So for most people an engine remap involves a trip to a local specialist Like Tuning Emporium, where we can overwrite your factory engine settings via a laptop, directly into your carâs OBD port, or we can tune your ecu on the bench.
There are two primary reasons for wanting a remap, and theyâre called power and torque. When your car left the factory thereâs a very good chance its performance was deliberately muted in order to meet product planning objectives or economy and efficiency targets.
These days the power and performance of most cars is limited, not by any particular mechanical factor, but by the software running in the engine control unit (ECU).
Computer algorithms running behind the scenes while youâre driving a modern car affect all sorts of parameters, such as ignition timing, air/fuel ratio and turbocharging boost pressure.
So if you want greater performance and pulling power from your car, or alternatively if youâre seeking mpg improvements, the first place to look is the little black box under the bonnet. Here at Tuning Emporium, we receive plenty of emails asking advice about ECU software changes, and we’ve compiled this guide to explore the pros, cons and costs.
Chipping turbodiesel engines can increase economy by seven to 10 per cent, because it adds torque lower down the rev range. This means the engine doesnât have to work as hard as before. It’s these turbo diesel engines often known as TDI, HDi, CDTi, CDI, depending on the manufacturer that are cornerstone of the car chipping industry because an engine chip or software upgrade can cheaply add so much to the performance.
Our Prices start at ÂŁ199 for OBD tuning, and ECU bench tuning costs start at ÂŁ275.
Are there any downsides to getting your ECU âchippedâ?
Some people are concerned that engine remapping could cause problems with their car. But it shouldnât affect reliability if you use a reputable company such as Tuning Emporium.
