What Is ECU Remapping & Chip Tuning?

Remapping refers to modifying the software within your vehicle’s Engine Control Unit (ECU) to improve performance, efficiency, or functionality. It’s the modern evolution of chip tuning, now applied to vehicles with re-programmable memory.
Remapping Benefits:

Chip Tuning (Legacy Vehicles)

For older cars with one-time programmable chips, we provide physical ECU chip removal, data extraction, and programming. Where required, we use ultraviolet erasing or chip replacement methods.

We also handle ECUs with high security protocols (TPROT) — accessing via methods such as bootmode, service mode to safely bypass manufacturer protections.

Our Remapping Process

If the ECU doesn’t respond immediately, we troubleshoot and resolve it — our experience in ECU recovery sets us apart from less-experienced tuners.

Step 1: Vehicle Health Check

Scan for faults and assess engine parameters with a suitable test drive monitoring sensor data.

Step 2: Read ECU Data

Use industry-standard tools to extract your ECU file

Step 3: Modify Map

Tailor adjustments to your goals (power, economy, etc.)

Step 4: Write Updated File

Flash modified file back to the ECU

Step 5: Post-Tune Testing

Confirm results, verify system performance, further data logs and road testing.
