Frequently Asked Questions

Q. What is remapping?

A. Remapping is overwriting original software contained inside a cars ECU (Engine Control Unit) with tuned software. This software is referred to as the engine map because it is this program that controls the engine. Before the advent of serial port remapping the only way to overwrite this software was to replace the chip that contained the software. Now this can all be done by plugging in to the vehicles serial port and overwrite the engine map with the performance version. Remapping is not a gimmick it is a performance conversion that will seriously improve the power & drivability of your engine.

Q. Can the remap be reversed?

A. The main benefit of engine remapping is that we can reverse the information back to standard at any time. We keep every customers original map on hard drive so if you ever decide to return you car to its standard power, say if you pass it on to a less experienced driver we can come out and reprogram your ECU at any time.

Q. Do I need to come to you?

A. No, we will come to you. We can remap your car at home, work or anywhere you wish. Contact us to arrange a time convenient to you.

Q. What's the likely effect on fuel consumption?

A. If you are a frugal driver to start with then your economy will improve. If you are going to use the power more often and drive the car faster – your consumption will drop as it would anyway. When we remap an ECU the open loop parameters for fuel are altered to give more performance, so if this extra performance is always used then you will use more fuel. But if normal driving is observed then fuel consumption is unaffected (on motorway driving many customers have actually noticed better fuel economy after remapping).

Q. Will I have to inform my insurers?

A. That's up to you! Because an ECU can only store one map at a time, it's very difficult to tell if a car has been remapped or not: There's no original map stored on the car to compare against. Not all insurance companies are knowledgeable about the process of remapping yet, and therefore will not add a premium for remapping. You should check your insurance documentation thoroughly before having your car remapped to see if this is the case.

Q. Is remapping legal?

A. Yes remapping your vehicle is entirely legal and there is no law against this. Each remap which we carry out is done so within the manufacturer safety tolerance zones.
