PERFORMANCE ECU REMAPPING
& CHIP TUNING
Did you know that you can enhance your vehicle’s speed, power, and fuel economy in about 30 minutes with professional ECU remapping performed?
All modern vehicles are equipped with an ECU (Electronic Control Unit), which sends the standard signals to the engine, as well as monitors and regulates all of the engine functions. Vital signals from the engine sensors are continuously transmitted to the ECU, so that real-time adjustments can be made. Through ECU map, ECU measures and constantly controls parameters, such as engine speed, fuel pressure, lambda and pedal position, boost pressure, cam timing, and more.
WHAT IS ECU REMAPPING?
ECU remapping refers to the process of extracting the ECU’s standard software (the “map”), modifying it, and reloading it back onto the ECU. The map file extracted will contain several maps, such as Fuel Pressure Map, Boost Map, Injection Quantity Map, and others. If these maps are recalibrated significantly, the vehicle’s engine performance and efficiency can be drastically improved. With most cars, we can simply plug into their on-board diagnostic (OBD) port, – a standardized port present in cars post 2000, – and perform any required modifications.
Why are Factory ECU’s Detuned?
The two main factors that engine manufacturers aim for are flexibility and compatibility, as the engines need to perform in various countries around the globe. Once the vehicle leaves the assembly line, it must be able to cope with extreme temperature fluctuations, various climatic conditions, and other environmental factors. Even the fuel qualities are not the same in every country. As a result, engines and ECU’s from the factory are detuned and governed to be able to cope with a broad array of conditions.
Another factor is cost. For most models, over development is avoided in order to reduce the development costs. The manufacturers can improve their bottom line by limiting the engine power by the means of an ECU program, and then, without encountering additional development costs, they are able to produce more powerful models at a higher price.
Map Optimization
When we optimize the vehicle’s ECU map, we are able to tap into these untapped power reserves. We tune signals, such as fuel quality and injection, and boost pressure depending on the air volume present, load, rpm, and other correction factors, which we use to determine the correct injection time. Some of the parameters altered as a result of map optimization are injection quantity and duration, injection pressure, spark advance, turbo boost pressure, pedal maps, and torque limiters.
REMAPPING TECHNIQUES
Different cars require different approaches for map optimization, we find the best way to achieve optimum results with various types of ECU tuning.
DPF / EGR REMOVAL (For off-road only)
We also provide DPF and EGR removal in and around Canberra for cars and trucks. Get in touch with a member of our team today. Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) filters and Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) valves are installed in most modern cars and are meant to restrict emissions and improve efficiency. However, these can fail or become clogged. We can remove these from your vehicle and improve its performance.
WHAT IS A DPF?
A DPF is equipped to most modern diesel engines to take out particles from the exhaust gases of diesel engines. This is done to meet various emission standards. However, while driving the filter fills up and the ECU will cause the engine to run with a higher exhaust temperature to burn any collected particles and turn them into soot. This is known as the DPF regeneration cycle. The regeneration causes the waste to be sent through the exhaust out into the atmosphere, making the whole concept overall questionable. Removing the DPF can improve fuel economy, increase performance, and eliminate the risk of DPF failure affecting the engine mode.
WHAT IS EGR, AND WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF ITS REMOVAL?
A widely used method to try and reduce emissions is Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR). Modern engines recirculate some of their exhaust gases back into the engine. However, this causes a build-up of carbon deposits over time, which can result in an expensive failure to the system. Removing the EGR and re-programming the ECU eliminates this risk and also results in lower engine temperatures, improved throttle response, and better fuel economy.
ECU CLONING SERVICE
If your ECU is faulty or damaged, then we can clone the details into another working ECU to get your vehicle back up and running. The idea of cloning is so that all the security details and calibration files match the original, so it works perfectly.
MERCEDES STEERING LOCK REPAIR
On the Mercedes W204 C Class, the most common immobiliser failure is caused by the steering lock and occasionally the ignition switch. When either of these components fail it causes the vehicle to not start (no crank) and no dash light when turning the key. We provide a full rebuild on your steering lock and repair a common fault with the ignition switch regardless of whether or not it has failed yet. This ESL / EIS rebuild service comes with a 12 month unlimited km warranty and is plug and play which means no expensive dealer programming or coding required. In most cases we can offer a 24 hour turnaround.
Common Symptoms:
Vehicle Won’t Start
No dash lights when turning the key
Key turns but won’t start
Steering wheel jammed in locked position
Steering lock can’t be heard when inserting key
Common fault codes are:
A 25407 The electronic steering lock has a malfunction. There is a mechanical fault.
A 25408 The electronic steering lock has a malfunction There is a signal fault or the message is faulty.
A 25409 The electronic steering lock has a malfunction. There is a component fault.
A 25464 The electronic steering lock has a malfunction. There is an implausible signal.
A 22449 The electronic steering lock has a malfunction. There is an internal electrical fault.
Common Part numbers include:
A 2045450632, A 2045455732, A 2045458132, A 2049005912, A 2045450908, A 2045451308, A 2045451508, A 2075450108, A 2079057101, A 2129055800, A 2129055000, A 2129055200
IMPORTANT !!!
For this repair we require the ignition switch (EIS), at least one working key and the steering lock (ELV/ESL).
