4 Engine Remapping Tools to improve the Performance of your Car

Car remapping or engine remapping involves the use of some tools to enhance the performance of the vehicles.

Before going straight to the list of engine remapping tools, it is essential to have a clear understanding of what is remapping or tuning, and what are the benefits of getting your car tuned or remapped.

Car remapping or engine remapping is defined as the process of modifying the settings of the engine control unit or the ECU which is a software or a chip installed in the vehicle. The key reasons why car owners opt for cap remapping or tuning are basically to improve fuel efficiency, performance, driveability, and standardisation of the original settings of the car set by the car manufacturer. As the driving standards are not the same in all countries, it becomes necessary to follow the standards and practices, which makes it necessary to remap the parameters of the ECU according to the specified driving standards and the other driving requirements mentioned by the car owner.

You may have noticed that whenever any car has launched in the international market, different types of car engine configurations are set by the manufacturers for different countries. And this is because the driving rules and standards followed by one country are not feasible in other countries. Hence, with this, it can be said that in reality no ECU is designed and set to perform to the fullest of its capabilities and efficiency.

Going through remapping or tuning services can help in generating high power, torque, and fuel-efficient performance as compared to the original car that was launched in the market. Remapping is the best way to unlock the full potential and capabilities of the car, removing all the limitations set by the manufacturer while designing the car. The remappers remap the car or make the modifications according to the driving standards of the region, the location, the car owner's driving requirements, the fuel quality available there, and the make and model of your vehicle.

Apart from these reasons for remapping your car, there's another big reason to remap your vehicle. For instance, if you have upgraded or replaced your car's exhaust system, then also you need to go for an engine control unit or ECU remapping services according to the settings of your upgraded exhaust system.

Here are the benefits of engine remapping for your car.

Remapping increases the power and torque of your car engine.

Improves fuel efficiency and fuel economy.

Improves acceleration, speed, performance, and driveability, the braking system, and offers smooth handling of the vehicle.

Gives you control over the vehicle as a result of the upgraded braking system.

Relaxed and comfortable driving experience due to the enhanced suspension system.

Increases the aestheticism of your vehicle through the remapped or new set of alloy wheels.

A checklist of the upgrading tools for ECU remapping.

After having a clear understanding of car remapping and its benefits for your car, let's now focus on the remapping or upgrading tools for improving the car's performance and efficiency.

Wideband AFR Meter:

AFR or Air to Fuel ratio is one of the highly required and complicated ECU remapping and upgrading tools. The main objective of the AFR tool is to check and determine that the fuel is reaching the car engine smoothly along with proper airflow. In the early days, the cost of the meter was very high but in the present day, with the increasing trend and demand for car remapping or chipping or tuning, high-quality AFR meters or air-to-fuel ratio meters are offered by various renowned car manufacturers.

Dynamometers:

Where the use of air-to-fuel ratio or AFR is a little difficult, remapping or tuning using the dynamometer can undoubtedly be the easiest method for remapping your car. It is not just safe for your car and its engine but also for the one who is tuning or remapping the car. And the main objective of remapping the vehicle using the dynamometer is to determine your car's standard parameters including the power generation and fuel efficiency parameters and abort the functionality of the vehicle if the dynamometer detects that the vehicle is being driven and used beyond the parameters. Also, the dynamometer is highly protective and protects the vehicle from all physical damages as well as protects the car owners from facing any kind of legal actions required for upgrading the vehicle performance through remapping.

Timing light:

While talking about the cost-effective remapping or upgrading tools, it is important to mention the name, timing light. If you are getting your vehicle remapped for the very first time then the timing light is one of the most highly preferred tools for chipping or tuning. This tool helps to determine the ignition system timing and helps you to get assured that the number of ignition engines and tables is the same. For generating the light, the timing light tool makes use of the inductive clamp that is mounted across the ignition lead. As soon as the spark emerges in the engine, it starts generating the flash and lets you know about the number received by the ignition system and the engine.

Gauges:

When remapping your vehicle, you will need a slew of good quality or well-functioning gauges to make sure everything is going on well and to help you throughout the remapping process. Some examples of quality gauges for remapping or tuning your vehicle are an exhaust gas temperature gauge, a wideband O2 gauge, and oil pressure gauges, just to name a few. When remapping a vehicle, you will want to get the most out of your car and unlock its maximum potential and capabilities to enjoy a comfortable driving experience. With car tuning, you will want your car to perform at its best and all these gauges and the dynamometer can ensure this. As suggested by the name itself, the wideband O2 gauge is designed to measure the AFR or air-to-fuel ratios over a wide range of operating conditions, unlike the narrow-band O2 sensors that can only measure the AFR between 14:1 to 15:1 ratios. The wideband O2 gauge offers a much more precise and exact reading and the exhaust gas temperature gauge that is also known as the EGT can help in confirming the obtained measurement. An oil pressure gauge, on the other hand, can help in identifying if anything is going wrong during the remapping or tuning process.

Apart from these above-mentioned car remapping or upgrading tools, there are tons of more tools such as the audio-knock detection tool, exhaust gas exchange meter, street and track detection tool, and more for enhancing the performance and efficiency of the vehicle though these above ones were the most crucial tools required for engine remapping.

We had this really nice, well looked after #renault #megane in today for a #terraclean & #remap combo👍 First of all we carried out the terraclean #carbonclean to ensure the engine was operating at its full potential and then installed our #stage1 #viezu map to improve #bhp & #torque We took this 90bhp 1.5 model and increased it to 115bhp👍 whilst taking the torque from 200nm to 255! The owner also took advantage of our 4 month payment plan and spread the cost☺️ To find out more drop us a message at info@nwfueldrain.co.uk #engineremap #remapping #tuned #ellesmereport #nwautoservicesltd #sporty #reno #french (at NW Auto Services Ltd, Cheshire) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bpp26dEH3qk/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1se89bckxxf5g
