Why Should I Remap My Vehicle?

If you’re wondering “Why Should I Remap My Vehicle?”, there are several compelling reasons to consider this service.

“While tuning an automobile for best performance may seem overwhelming and expensive to many casual drivers, you’ll be amazed to learn that tuning can be done in as little as 30 minutes by remapping” shared used vehicle broker Burke Wilson of Great Rides.

Why Should I Remap My Vehicle.

What Is Remapping?

Remapping, also known as ECU (Engine Control Unit) tuning, is changing the parameters of a vehicle’s software to enhance several aspects of your vehicle’s performance. The specialists at TayTec Tuning can remap your vehicle to handle airflow, fuel injection, boost pressure, and more by overwriting the current settings with customised programming, all within safe limits.

Should You Remap Your Vehicle?

Here’s what you’ll get when you remap your vehicle.

Reason #1 – Remapping Takes A Couple Of Hours

Including our complimentary full diagnostic check, we can remap your vehicle in as little as one hour. Some exceptions to this, but we aim to have most jobs completed in a couple of hours max so you don’t have to be without your vehicle for long.

Reason #2 – Remapping Eliminates Flat Spots To Boost Power

Flat spots are removed during remapping, resulting in better power delivery. Without flat spots, you can boost your vehicle’s power at higher RPMs resulting in a better drive and smoother driving experience.

Reason #3 -Remapping Increases Your Vehicle’s Torque

Torque is a measure of an engine’s capacity to do work, and more torque equals faster acceleration. Your vehicle’s torque should increase by 20-30% after a remap (roughly 5% on normally aspirated vehicles). More torque translates to faster speed and reduced in-gear duration, both of which are critical for safe and easy overtaking.

Reason #4 – Remapping Improves Fuel Efficiency

Under typical driving conditions, you won’t need to use as much throttle to accelerate since greater torque is generated at all revolutions per minute (rpm). This leads to improved fuel efficiency, and as a consequence of our remapping service, our fleet clients have seen considerable fuel savings.

Reason #5 – Remapping Rekindles Your Driving Passion

Nothing is more frustrating than driving a sluggish vehicle. It’s not just annoying, but it may also be dangerous. Remapping may extract 20-30% additional torque and power from your engine, which is a significant increase that you’ll notice immediately, the first time you get back behind the wheel.

Reason #6 – Remapping Is Cost-Effective

Remapping gives HUGE performance improvements compared to independent exhaust, turbo, and air intake enhancements. Installing a new performance exhaust, turbo, and air intake. For example, you’d be fortunate to get an additional 35bhp out of a 2015 Golf GTI for a more than £2000 investment. In contrast, a remap would give you a baseline 50bhp and 50 lb/ft performance boost for over 60% less. All while using your vehicle’s original components.

Remap Or Not To Remap? — Go For A Remap At Taytec Tuning

It is not recommended that you let just anyone remap your vehicle, but only a professional in the field.

Choosing a reliable service provider to do the remapping is the only way to minimise the chances of something going wrong, but sadly there are many in the industry who need to be avoided. Never hand your pride and joy over to anyone using anything other than fully registered and genuine equipment and who uses professional grade software, never freeware.

As a VIEZU Performance Tuning Approved Dealer we include their guarantee on all remaps, providing you peace of mind if any problems arise in the future. On top of that, you’ll receive award-winning remapping solutions and unparalleled client satisfaction guaranteed service.

Is ECU Remapping safe for my engine?

Join us for another dive into a question that comes up a lot – can a remap damage my engine?

The Importance of Qualified Technicians

Like any modification to a vehicle, care is needed to ensure the modification does not come at the expense of the safety and general health of all components. A remap is no different, so it is VITAL that only suitably qualified and experienced technicians carry out ECU Remapping.

Is ECU Remapping safe for my engine?

ECU Remapping

If an owner has skipped service intervals or failed to keep on top of basic maintenance then it stands to reason the risk of a component failure is increased.

Additionally, it’s rare a delivery mileage vehicle gets remapped, therefore ancillary components can have thousands of miles under their belt. With this in mind, we never chase peak figures for the sake of “bragging rights” as this can lead to pushing components too far. Instead we offer safe and realistic gains that are genuinely usable in real world conditions.

There are many examples where either a DIY tuner or unqualified amateur has inadvertently caused damage to a vehicle by incorrectly tuning an ECU, perhaps not surprisingly given the complex nature of modern vehicles and the interaction between hundreds of components, yet we still see cheap clone tuning tools and unbacked software causing issues from time to time.

Benefits of Choosing Taytec Tuning

Remap Stages Explained

Remap Stages Explained

by with No Comment post

Remap Stages Explained

Remap Stages Explained, Just what are Stage 1, Stage 2 and Stage 3 Engine Remaps

Remap Stages Explained

Although there is no agreed standard, this is simply the level of remap required to support the level of tuning hardware.

Stage 1 Tuning

Stage 1 remapping can most easily be regarded as a “software only” solution. Significant improvement can be achieved over original performance but vehicle components are kept standard so the air filter and intake, exhaust (including catalytic converter) and Intercooler remain stock.

Additionally, with a Stage 1 remap there is no requirement to use a higher octane or performance fuel.

Stage 2 Tuning

The next step involves some hardware upgrades to enable an increased level of tune. As boost and ignition timing advance are increased there is a requirement for cooler charge air. This is achieved by an uprated intercooler, quite often front mounted to allow more flow.

Talking of air flow, as the engine develops more power it requires more air so the intake and filter is replaced to increase volume.

At the other end of the combustion cycle, the increase in exhaust gas volume must be handled with a free flowing exhaust system and catalytic converter as the standard exhaust and downpipe begins to struggle.

Certain vehicles can benefit from additional components such as uprated ignition coils and spark plugs and optimal performance in a turbocharged petrol vehicle is achieved with higher octane fuel, 98-99 RON.

Stage 3 Tuning

Moving further up the tuning levels involves the replacement of the turbocharger to allow increased boost pressure. To deal with that additional pressure, cylinder modifications can be required together with forged pistons etc.

At each tuning stage a remap from TayTec Tuning is tailored to your vehicle and the modifications you have. So from a simple Stage 1 remap to a Stage 3 track day weapon Contact us to discuss your requirements or for any advice.

Working with Viezu Performance Tuning, we can supply a vast array of aftermarket modifications to maximise our remaps giving you the best performance bang for buck.

What is Chip Tuning and is it the same as ECU Remapping?

What is Chip Tuning and is it the same as ECU Remapping?

Introduction to What is Chip Tuning and is it the same as ECU Remapping?

ECU tuning, sometimes referred to as chip tuning, is the system of modifying the software that controls your car’s engine. This may be done to improve performance, fuel economy, or a mix of both.

The Evolution of ECU Tuning

This is a question that we get asked regularly and is a simple one to answer but we’ll take a moment to explain it in more detail here.

When Electronic Control Units or ECUs become common place in vehicles, any tuning to the software they contained was achieved by physically swapping EPROM memory chips with ones modified with different software. This gave way to the term “Chip Tuning” as it was the chip that was tuned independently and fitted to the ECU.

The History of ECU Tuning

ECU tuning has come a long way from the early days. In the past, modifications were rather crude and involved physically replacing the chip within the ECU with a modified version. This was a labour intensive and potentially unstable method that might harm the ECU if not done correctly.

OBD: A Game-Changer in ECU Tuning

As technology improved further, in the early 2000s, Onboard Diagnostics or OBD became the standard that vehicle manufacturers adopted. This provided, not only as the name suggests, the opportunity to connect directly to the vehicles ECU for diagnostic purposes but also opened up a new way of tuning a vehicle by accessing the ECU via the OBD port and uploading tuned software directly, without the need the physically open or otherwise interfere with the ECU itself.

Simplified Tuning Process and Reduced Risk

This not only simplified the operation and allowed a tune to be carried out in less time, but removed virtually all risk which might otherwise be associated with having to remove and open an ECU and replace delicate electronic components.

The Benefits of ECU Tuning

There are many benefits to ECU tuning. For example, it can:

  • Increase horsepower and torque

  • Improve throttle response

  • Reduce fuel consumption

  • Smooth out the power delivery

  • Remove speed limiters

Fuel Maps and Remapping

On a modern engine, many sensors are contributing data hundreds of times a second to ensure the ECU knows exactly what state everything is in and although the actual process is slightly more complex, in simple terms for a given engine RPM and load, the ECU knows exactly how much fuel, boost and ignition it needs to deliver by referencing a table of figures. This table is more correctly called a Fuel Map.

The Definition of Remapping

The term Remap comes simply from the replacement of the standard map with a modified version.

At Taytec Tuning, we access the standard map currently installed on a vehicles ECU and it is this software which is adjusted to optimise performance and economy when transferred back to the ECU.

ECU Remapping - What Can I Expect?

ECU Remapping – What Can I Expect?

by with No Comment post

ECU Remapping - What Can I Expect?

More Power | More Torque | More MPG

Simply put – a much more enjoyable performance driving experience!

Introduction to ECU Remapping - What Can I Expect?

We often get asked about ECU Remapping – What Can I Expect? on the day – let’s discuss what to expect when you hand your vehicle over to TayTec Tuning for ECU Remapping

Confirmation and Basic Health Check

  • Your appointment will be confirmed the day before.

  • Our technician will arrive at the location of your choosing, introduce themselves and have a brief chat about your car and its history – just to establish general health and service history.

Diagnostic Check and Stabilisation

  • A basic health check is carried out on the vehicle to confirm everything appears well and ready for tuning.

  • Connecting to the vehicle with advanced diagnostic equipment, a full diagnostic check is carried out to reveal anything which may prevent us continuing. We will advise you of any fault codes and will remove any unrelated nuisance codes.

  • Prior to commencing the tuning stage, we need to establish a steady power supply to your vehicle so we will require a standard domestic socket nearby to plug our battery stabiliser into. This gives a constant secure power supply to counter any fluctuations during the next stage.

Taking Read and Sending to Master File Writers

  • Next, we connect our tuning tool to your vehicles OBD port and take a full read of the current software. At this stage, all that has happened is a copy of the software has been taken which means it is entirely possible to drive the car. Sometimes it suits a customer for us to take a read one day and return with the tuned software ready to install another day, whatever works best for you.

  • Once the read has been taken, the file is sent to our master file writers where the magic begins. Map parameters are manually adjusted in line with the customers direction for Performance, Economy or a blend of both. The file is then returned to us, usually in as little as an hour.

Taking Read and Sending to Master File Writers

Writing the Tuned File and Final Checks

  • In a reverse process of the read, the tuned file is written to the ECU.

  • As carried out at the pre-tune stage, a full diagnostic health check is carried out to confirm nothing has changed during the tuning process.

  • We then always encourage a test drive which we can accompany you on, and won’t leave until you are completely happy with the work carried out.

Satisfaction Guarantee and Further Support

That’s it ! Our experienced technicians don’t rush at any stage and although the process can sometimes be a lot faster, we always recommend allowing a couple of hours time frame.

We love to hear positive feedback but should anything crop up; perhaps you selected an Economy remap and would prefer some more performance – remember you have a full no quibble 30 day satisfaction guarantee, we will make any change to the software free of charge.

Further down the road, should any issue result in the removal of the map, usually caused by a service update from the manufacturer, we will happily reinstall your map, again free of charge.

What is ECU remapping?

ECU remapping, or chip tuning, is modifying the software program that controls your car’s engine.This can enhance performance, save you money on fuel bills, or mixture of both.

How does ECU remapping work?

The ECU, or Engine Control Unit, is a computer that controls your vehicle’s engine. It regulates numerous engine features, fuel injection, ignition timing, and emissions management.

ECU Remapping

When you remap the ECU, you are recalibrating the software parameters that carry out these commands and activities. The calibrations can be customised to each individual situation and tailored to either target outright power and torque or to trim back performance with a purpose of saving fuel.

With a little of each, a blend of both can be achieved and while obviously a slight compromise vs outright power, this can be a popular choice for drivers who seek a smoother and more pleasant driving experience but also appreciate the increase in MPG.

Introduction to On-Site ECU Remapping Dundee

Not sure where to begin with ECU Remapping Dundee or surrounding areas? Look no further than TayTec Tuning.

We can come to you at home or work and carry out tuning on-site meaning you don’t need to be without your vehicle.

Custom Remaps for Performance, Economy or a blend of both

Allow us to dramatically improve the driving experience on any make or model and remember as all our remaps are bespoke, we can tailor the tune to Performance, Economy or a blend of both.

Benefits of Optimised ECU Remap

There are many benefits to having your ECU remapped. Some of the advantages include:

  • Improved overall performance: ECU remapping can improve your car’s overall performance by increasing horsepower and torque.

  • Improved fuel economy: ECU remapping can enhance the fuel economy of your car by optimising the when and where in the rev range power is delivered.

  • Reduced emissions: ECU remapping can reduce your car’s emissions by optimising the fuel map such that excess fuel is not wasted and therefore fewer emissions are created.

  • Increased drivability: ECU remapping can improve your car’s drivability by making it extra responsive and smoother to boot.

Experience smoother power delivery, quicker engine response, more pulling power for towing and overall enhanced performance for safer overtaking.

All of the above come at no sacrifice to MPG. While it may not initially make sense that more available power can exist alongside better MPG, it becomes clear when you understand how an optimised ECU remap works.

TayTec’s Approach to ECU Remapping

Manufacturers use generic ECU software which can often be common to many vehicles in their range. This can therefore never offer optimum performance in every situation. At TayTec, your standard software is read and adapted to make use of every corner of your vehicles performance curve all within safe parameters ensuring the welfare and lifespan of your vehicle is never compromised.

Is ECU remapping safe?

Yes, ECU remapping is completely safe when carried out by our qualified and experienced technicians. The technician will ensure that the adjustments are made safely and within safety parameters.

What is an ECU?

An ECU, or Engine Control Unit, is a device that controls the engine in your vehicle. It regulates numerous engine functions, which include injection, fuel pressure, boost pressure, ignition timing (in petrol engines), and emissions control, to name but a few.

What is a SID 212 ECU?

The Ford SID 212 ECU is a model of ECU fitted in many Ford vehicles, including the Transit and Ranger. It is a more advanced ECU than the preceding models. With tuning, it offers features that can improve your vehicle’s overall performance and fuel economy.

The SID Range of ECUs by Continental

Introduction and Encryption Level of the 212 Model

The SID range of ECUs comes from the manufacturer Continental and the 212 model released in 2019 has widely attracted the interest of the tuning community due to them being encrypted to a level as yet unseen in the industry.

The significance of this is that software-only tuning is currently not possible by any tool, anywhere in the world!

Impact on Tuning Industry

Models affected include the Ford Transit and Ranger and frustratingly for owners upgrading from previous models, these were two of the most tunable vehicles in their previous incarnations.

The lack of tuning on these ECU’s has left a huge gap in the tuning industry, and many customers running the lower BHP versions or heavy working vehicles are now desperate for a little more power and torque. But fear not, a solution is now available!

What is the fix? It will come as no surprise that tuning tool manufacturers and file providers the world over are still trying to crack this tough nut but they have currently come up empty handed, leaving no tuning solution……

UNTIL NOW!

EGR Solution | Dundee | TayTec Tuning

Today we take a closer look at the role of the Exhaust Gas Recirculation system, and the potential issues you may encounter.

What is an EGR?

An EGR, or Exhaust Gas Recirculation device, is a component that is used in most modern diesel vehicles. The EGR aims to recirculate some exhaust gas back into the engine.

What is an EGR?

You constantly see references to EGR systems in ECU Remapping and Chip Tuning, but their role is often misunderstood. In essence, they are used by manufacturers to reduce emissions on Diesel engines, specifically NOx or Nitrogen Oxides (not to be confused with Nitrous Oxide, which is an altogether different gas!).

How does an EGR work?

A proportion of the engines exhaust gas is recirculated back into the air intake for the heat generated through combustion to reduce the percentage of NOx being released into the main exhaust flow and thus to atmosphere.

How does an EGR work?

What are the benefits of an EGR?

On paper, there are several benefits to having an EGR system. Some of those include reduced NOx emissions and claims of a cleaner engine and exhaust system.

The real effect of EGR Systems on Engine Performance

Anyone who understands how an engine wants to perform optimally may question the above, after all, we know that cold dense air full of oxygen is what we need for a happy and healthy engine and you would be absolutely correct! The EGR system is forcing the engine to fill its cylinders with a proportion of waste air, from which the oxygen has already been used during combustion first time around.

Manufacturers generally pre cool this air prior to re using it, but we can immediately see, that although NOx is being reduced which is great news for the environment, it is very bad news for the efficiency of your engine.

So, aside from the inefficiency introduced, what other side effects are there?

Issue #1 – EGR Valve Faults

  • The percentage of exhaust gas being circulated is controlled by the vehicles ECU and varies depending on various factors. While this air has been cooled it has not yet been filtered (read about the role of the Diesel Particulate Filter here) so amounts of carbon can deposit themselves on the valve itself leading to reduced flow or it blocking entirely, in turn causing ECU fault codes.

EGR Valve Faults

Issue #2 - DPF Faults

  • Should an EGR system become blocked up, a larger proportion of exhaust gas will naturally need flow directly out of the exhaust through the Diesel Particulate Filter, in quantities it is not designed for, which can overwhelm the filter allowing large amounts of deposits to form here too leading to further issues and repair bills.

What are the risks of driving with a blocked EGR?

If you continue to drive with a blocked EGR, you can harm your engine and ancillary components.

How can I tell if my EGR is blocked?

There are some signs that your EGR has become blocked. Some of the signs and symptoms are:

  • Reduced engine power

  • Increased fuel consumption

  • Smoke from the exhaust

  • Engine warning lights

How can I get my EGR fixed?

There are several methods which can be used to fix an EGR fault. The choice of the solution will depend on the severity of the blockage.

EGR cleaning: This is the most common way to fix a blocked EGR. The EGR is cleaned with the use of a chemical cleaner. This method is normally more than sufficient for minor to moderate blockages.
