ECU Mapping and Automotive Electrical Services in Perth

ECU re-mapping, engine chipping, and chip tuning all mean the same thing. Having your car or van engine remapped, also known as chipping, is a way to get more power out of your car or van engine. The experienced automotive technicians at Carcare Joondalup in Perth’s North provide a comprehensive ECU re-mapping service to help your vehicle achieve minimum performance.

What is ECU Remapping?

Vehicles nowadays are controlled by a central computer chip aka Electrical Control Unit (ECU). The engine controller (ECU) manages functions like the fuel injection, sensors, airflow, and more. It receives signals every moment from the sensors and counts how much gas the engine needs to receive based on the air that is available on that particular RPM.

If you have your engine re-mapped, your engine chipped, or your chip tuned, then the ECU parameters can be changed, giving more performance—in certain cases more economy—from your engine.

What are the Benefits of ECU Re-mapping?

Vehicles manufacturers can program their cars’ ECUs so they don’t perform at peak efficiency. This gives them more control over how their new models perform comparatively. Re-mapping your vehicle puts the control back in your hands, ensuring you get the most out of your engine.
Carcare Joondalup offers re-mapping services to improve your engine’s performance, fuel efficiency, and responsiveness. Here’s what you can expect:

More Speed and Power

Depending on your make and mode, your engine can experience an increase in horsepower of as much as 40-50bhp. Your car will feel faster instantly.

Better Fuel Efficiency

Re-mapping and smooth driving come together to help boost your vehicle’s fuel efficiency. Of course, getting the best fuel efficiency also incorporates other safe driving practices like steady acceleration and breaking, and going the speed limit.

Buying a Re-mapped Vehicle

When you’re buying a used vehicle, you can check to see if the engine has been re-mapped by comparing the fuel efficiency and horsepower numbers in the model info to those in actuality.

Chipping vs. ECU Remapping

Your vehicle’s ECU is a motherboard and microchips. ECU remapping involves changing the software of the unit. Chipping involves replacing the main computer chip with a new one. Chipping is a more common practice in older vehicles that don’t already have OBD ports, which are just an easier way for mechanics to understand problems in your vehicle.
