Why You Might Consider a Car Engine Remap

 

Are you feeling let down by the power your car gives and believe it has much more to offer. Do you need it to offer more? If so you might consider a car engine remap to get the best out of your vehicle. Perhaps you didn’t even know that such a thing as remapping existed, well read on to find out all you need to know.

Why undertake a car engine remap?

Most cars on the road are limited in regards to power and performance. However, this is not a mechanical limitation but a software limit. As such, there is something you can do about it, or should we say, there is something we can do about it.

So, why might you want to have your engine remapped?

Well, you might want greater performance out of your engine; for instance, perhaps you need more towing power.

You can get better performance as a professional team can analyse your vehicles engine control unit, basically a small computer, and its software.

Algorithms run constantly in the background and affect such things as the ignition timing, turbo pressure and air to fuel ratio, among other things. These are factory set to meet marketing targets but can be altered.

By having a car engine remap you can gain performance and get the most out of the potential of the vehicle by going beyond the factory specifications.

Benefits to having your car engine remapped

There are numerous benefits to be gained from having your car engine remapped and these include the following:

·         Gain an increase in torque and power – better towing capability;

·         Improve the response of throttle;

·         Get smoother power delivery for better drivability;

·         Obtain a better rev range;

·         Enjoy improvements to fuel economy in most cases;

·         Get the full potential out of your car.

Can any car be remapped?

Yes, generally any newer car can have its engine remapped. However, only turbo-powered engines will gain full benefit.

As a general rule, cars that were produced before the year 2000 will be too old and usually do not have the software required for us to be able to optimise the performance.
