What is an ECU Remap?
Essentially, ECU remapping is the process of adjusting your Diesel Engine Eontrol Unit, or “ECU” (we prefer the term ECM for Engine Control Module) to alter or modify how it commands the engine to behave. By creating custom values or changing the coding input within your ECU, our calibrators can unleash the true potential of your vehicle to achieve sharper, crisper throttle response, improve torque and power delivery, reduce fuel consumption and produce an overall improved driving experience.
The process involves programming a precisely tailored calibration to your ECU that has been designed specifically for your vehicle’s exact configuration. This differs from Chip Tuning which simply involves altering signals within existing hardware, usually by implementing an additional module or “chip” without changing any software settings within the vehicle itself.
