The Concept & Benefit of ECU Remapping Of Your Vehicle

1
The Concept Benefit of ECU Remapping Of Your
Vehicle Every new car and van on the road today
has an ECU (ENGINE CONTROL UNIT). This Engine
Control Unit is almost like the vehicle's
"brain," as it contains a small processor that
collects data from various sensors throughout
the engine. It examines data such as engine
temperature, accelerator pedal angle, oxygen
content in burnt exhaust gases, and many other
parameters. It examines data such as engine
temperature, accelerator pedal angle, oxygen
content in burnt exhaust gases, and many other
parameters. Using the data from these sensors, it
can then add the appropriate amount of fuel at
the appropriate time to provide a good balance of
fuel economy, performance, and emission control.
When a manufacturer creates a new car, it must
consider all of the conditions it may face in all
of the regions where they intend to sell this
model. This means that, rather than simply
optimizing the ECU's program to deliver the best
performance or the most fuel efficiency they
must make compromises for these potentially
varying operating conditions. Substandard fuels,
temperature, and altitude extremes, varying
emission laws, and even the possibility that the
vehicle was not serviced regularly and following
the manufacturer's recommended instructions are
all possibilities.

What is The Benefit ECU Remapping have?
ECU remapping is the process of reading the
vehicle's standard compromised map from the
ECU's processing chip and adjusting various
parameters within the map such as fuel pressure,
boost pressure (on turbocharged applications),
ignition advance, and throttle pedal control,
among others, to release the engine's true
performance. It is a completely safe process
because it is simply returning the engine to the
performance it should have had before all of the
compromises were made to the original
programming. Every engine has its unique map, and
by adjusting it, we can fine-tune the engine's
characteristics, unleashing more power and, in
many cases, lowering fuel consumption.
Not only will ECU remapping increase the engine's
power and torque figures, but it will also
sharpen the throttle response and broaden the
power band. This will make the power delivery a
lot more linear, which in turn will make the
vehicle feel a lot more energetic to drive and
the engine more flexible. The manufacturer
frequently restricts the vehicle's power output
for no other reason than to ensure that the
vehicle fits into a class suitable for buyers. As
a driving enthusiast, you don't need or want
such constraints imposed on your vehicle's ECU
and performance, so you can benefit from the
hidden power and torque locked away within your
engine management system.
The other major advantage of remapping is that it
will reduce fuel consumption. With more torque,
especially at the bottom of the rev range, you
will save fuel because it will require less

throttle input to maintain highway speeds, and
you can drive in a higher gear at a slower speed.
