What is Chip tuning?

Chiptuning, also known as ECU remapping, is the widely recognized practice of optimizing vehicle engine management software by adjusting its parameters. This process leads to notable improvements in performance, fuel efficiency, and the inclusion or exclusion of specific functions. Although the term "chip tuning" was originally associated with the addition or removal of electronic components (chips), it now primarily refers to the modification of the ECU's (Engine Control Unit) software itself. As a result, the modified software is written back into the vehicle's ECU, making ECU remapping the preferred term for this practice.

Optimisation
of the software

Once the original file has been read and uploaded to our system, our skilled in-house developers proceed to make necessary adjustments and map the values specific to each vehicle, ensuring the desired results are achieved. After the software optimization process is completed, the modified file is securely stored in our database alongside the original file. Finally, the optimized software is delivered to the customer, ensuring they receive a tailored solution for their vehicle.

Writing the software to the ECU

The modified software is meticulously developed to cater to the precise specifications of the vehicle, including its model, year, engine, ECU hardware, software version, and all specific options. This tailored software can then be seamlessly written into the ECU using the same method employed during the reading process. Once the optimized software is successfully written, your vehicle experiences an immediate enhancement in both software functionality and overall performance.

the vehicle ECU

The vehicle's Electronic Control Unit (ECU) can be accessed and read using specialized tools. This process involves reading the software either through an OBD2 diagnostic port or directly from the ECU. To accomplish this, one can connect to the ECU port using a specific connector or by directly accessing the ECU port pins. In rare cases, it may be necessary to open the ECU and establish a direct connection with the processor and special contact points.

What are the Chip tuning

The primary advantage of chip tuning is the liberation of your engine and vehicle's true capabilities. Manufacturers often restrain engines to comply with emissions and fuel consumption regulations across various markets or to position the vehicle in a lower price range for marketing purposes. Chip tuning removes these limitations, allowing your engine to reach its full potential in terms of power, torque, and overall performance.

Additionally, chip tuning offers the benefit of being completely reversible. If you ever decide to return your vehicle to its original stock form, the modifications made through chip tuning can be easily reversed. This flexibility ensures that you can enjoy the enhanced performance and other benefits of chip tuning without any permanent alterations to your vehicle.

By unleashing the full potential of your engine and providing the option to revert to the stock configuration, chip tuning provides a versatile and customizable solution for optimizing your vehicle's performance to suit your preferences and requirements.

Is Tuning Expencive?

ECU remapping, also known as tuning, is indeed a cost-effective method for modifying vehicle software and enhancing performance, characteristics, and functions. The pricing for ECU remapping varies based on several factors. These factors typically include the workshop hours required, expenses related to professional tools and licenses, the development cost of the specific remap for your ECU and desired options, and the pricing decisions made by individual dealers for their respective markets.

To obtain the precise price for ECU remapping, it is advisable to reach out to one of our dealers located nearest to you. They will be able to provide you with accurate pricing information based on your specific requirements and the prevailing market conditions.
