What Is Remapping?
Remapping is a process of modifying the Engine Control Unit (ECU) of your vehicle to improve its performance, power, torque, and fuel efficiency. Your vehicle’s ECU uses maps to control the fuel injectors, turbo, EGRs, ignition coils, and other sensors connected to it. Remapping involves uploading an optimized file containing modified maps into the ECU to enhance your car’s performance.
Improve Performance
Most manufacturers run their engines within power limits to prevent any mechanical issues due to excess power or torque. They also lower emissions on some of their vehicles to meet lower road tax groupings and countries with lower fuel quality and emissions. However, remapping can improve your vehicle’s performance without compromising its safety or reliability.
Remapping can be done by professionals who specialize in ECU remapping. They can modify the maps to enhance your car’s response, power, torque, and economy. Remapping can also improve the drivability of your car by making the throttle response smoother and reducing turbo lag.
Some manufacturers offer remapping as an approved upgrade, often called a “Sports Upgrade” or something similar, at a premium price. However, these upgrades are typically carried out after the car is registered, so they are classified as a modification and do not impact the taxation class of the vehicle.
In conclusion, remapping is a safe and effective way to improve your vehicle’s performance, power, torque, and fuel efficiency. It involves modifying the ECU maps to enhance your car’s response, drivability, and economy. If you’re looking to improve your vehicle’s performance, consider remapping by a professional ECU remapping specialist such as SCM Remaps.

Specialist Software
With the use of ecu editing software like Winols or Swiftec, your vehicles original map file is opened and various maps like Torque limiters, fuel rail pressure, turbo pressure maps etc etc are altered to make these improvements then saved. We will always have your original file saved safely should it ever need to be written back.
