ECU Remapping

ECU remapping, also known as car remapping or chip tuning, is the process of modifying and tweaking the settings of a car’s engine control unit (ECU) to enhance its performance, power, and efficiency based on the owner’s preferences. It involves customising how the engine operates to boost things like the throttle response, give more power and provide you maximum driving enjoyment whilst staying within legal limitations.

A car remap is done with specialised tuning software on a computer which connects to the car’s ECU.

During the remapping process, various parameters of the cars engine’s operation such as fuel injection, ignition timing, and turbo boost are adjusted to enhance performance. The remap file is customised to suit the specific make and model of the car, as well as any performance upgrades installed.

After writing the new software to the ECU, the car undergoes a test using a rolling road or a dyno test to ensure the effectiveness and safety of the new settings. Sometimes, additional adjustments may need to be made to optimise the performance of the car/vehicle.

Increased Power Capabilities 

One of the most common changes done during ECU remaps is increasing the power capabilities of the engine, resulting in quicker acceleration and faster top speeds due to a noticeable increase in output.

Improved Responsiveness & Better Fuel Economy

But ECU remapping isn’t just about speed and power; it can also improve the responsiveness of your car and its fuel efficiency by allowing you to reduce the number of gear changes required to overtake and perform other driving situations which require torque and horsepower, but it does require you to perform these correctly.

Customised to your exact needs

At Viezu, we specialise in ECU tuning and Chip Tuning and offer a range of ECU tuning software to ensure we create the best possible custom remap for you and your vehicle. Our ECU chipping files are custom written for our customer’s exact needs, meaning they aren’t just a generic tuning file but are truly customised to your car, and, most importantly, the driving experience you want.

No physical modifications are needed

ECU Remapping is all about changing software and is therefore a much more convenient and cost-effective way to enhance your vehicle.

Traditionally, if you wanted to increase the power or performance of your vehicle, you would be required to undertake physical modifications, like upgrading the exhaust system, installing a new air intake, or replacing various engine components. These modifications can be very expensive and time-consuming.

Fully reversible

A car’s remap can be reversed, which means if you decide to revert back to the original factory settings, it can easily be done. This is beneficial to those who change your mind or want to sell your vehicle. This makes it a low-risk option for those who want to explore the potential of their vehicle’s engine without committing to permanent physical modifications.

Yes, it is legal and safe to remap your car as long as it’s done correctly by a trained professional.

We highly recommend you inform your insurance provider if your car has been modified, as most consider remapping as a car modification, and you will generally see an increase in your insurance premium if you decide to go ahead with remapping your motor.

Diesel tuning is also very popular because of how well diesel engines respond to ECU remapping. With our BlueOptimize products, we can offer fuel economy and performance remapping or even a mixture of both.

An effective ECU remap will breathe new life into your diesel car, providing a better throttle response, a more aggressive and sporty acceleration, and increased bhp, all while saving you money on fuel consumption and emissions.

How much does ECU Remapping or Chiptuning cost?

At Viezu, we understand that every customer has different needs and budgets when it comes to engine tuning. That’s why we offer a range of car remap options to suit your specific requirements.

Stage 1 Remap

Our entry-level ‘Stage 1′ remap offers a light reprogramming of your engine’s settings to provide a noticeable boost in performance. Created specifically for an unaltered vehicle without any hardware upgrades, a Stage 1 Remap enhances fuel economy whilst also boosting power and torque. This upgrade eliminates flat spots, offering a more responsive driving experience without sacrificing reliability. This option typically costs a few hundred pounds.

Stage 2 Remap

For those looking for more significant gains, our ‘Stage 2′ remap involves some additional engine modifications such as a new air filter and exhaust improvements. This option is more expensive than Stage 1 but less than Stage 3.

Stage 3 Remap

For those seeking the ultimate in performance, our ‘Stage 3‘ and above remaps are the most serious options available. These involve major engine upgrades such as new turbo systems and internal components like pistons to extract maximum performance from your vehicle. Due to the level of work involved, these options can cost several thousands of pounds.
