ECU (Engine Control Unit) remapping is a process where the car’s factory settings are altered by modifying the software within the ECU to optimize performance, improve fuel efficiency, or enhance driving experience.
Expect a professional diagnostic, a performance analysis, and careful software adjustments to optimize engine parameters for your vehicle. The process typically takes a couple of hours and does not involve any physical alterations to the engine.
The process involves connecting your vehicle’s ECU to a computer, extracting the current data, and reprogramming the software to improve performance. After remapping, the vehicle is tested to ensure everything is functioning correctly.
