So, what is Remapping and why should YOU consider it it?

ECU remapping is basically fine tuning the software program that controls your engine management system (ECU). Most reputable companies use bespoke maps that are tailored to your car and your own individual requirements.

Today's modern engines rely heavily on computer controlled engine management systems. Basically each engine has an array of sensors which monitor lots of things such as throttle position, crank position, airflow etc. These signals are sent to the Engine Control Unit (ECU), which processes the information received to give the best engine performance for any given driving condition.

So why should you have Ashbourne Performance Remaps remap your vehicles ECU?
When vehicles are distributed throughout the world, manufacturers adopt a one map fits all policy. This one map has to take into account many different factors that are necessary for each export country. Areas such as climate, emissions, fuel quality etc all have to be considered by the manufacturer. What this means is that a vehicle ECU is never optimised for one individual situation.

So how can our reputable ECU remapping company help? we will actually read your own engine's map file, have it modified it and then re-upload it back to your ECU. we will always take the time to find out your own individual requirements and what you want to achieve from our remap. We will then tailor the remap to suit before it is uploaded back to your ECU. By remapping your ECU it is easily possible to release extra power and torque from your engine without any reliability issues. Many customers have also reported that they have seen improved MPG once their engine has been remapped.
Be aware that although many customers experience improved fuel economy, this will ultimately be governed by the customers driving style.

The increase in power and torque delivery that is gained using ECU remapping enables a much smoother drive, with increased flexibility throughout the rev range, allowing for smoother acceleration and easier safer overtaking.

Beware of cheap imitations. . . There are lots of companies out there offering what seem like value for money ECU remapping services. A lot of these companies use stock generic eBay files that are cheaply available through the internet or other sources.

Before we remap your ECU we will carry out a full diagnostics check of your engine and advise you accordingly if there are any potential problems or components that need replacing. Please be aware that, although remapping your ECU does not cause failure it can increase stress on already failing components. ie your clutch, turbocharger.
We will not carry out a remap if we feel the vehicle is not mechanically sound although in some cases the owner will still require it doing.

What kind of improvements can you expect? As mentioned you will notice an instant improvement in power and torque delivery right throughout the rev range, along with the added bonus of improved MPG.
Remaps can benefit both turbo and normally aspirated (non turbo) engines be it petrol or diesel

Petrol - Naturally aspirated.
By remapping a normally aspirated engine ECU, you would usually expect to see a 10 - 15% increase in power (bhp) depending on your exact engine specification, and around a 15 - 20% increase in torque (Nm) throughout the rev range.

Petrol (turbo)
By remapping a ECU on a turbo engine you would usually expect to achieve around a 20 - 30% increase in power (bhp), with an increase in torque of around 20 - 40% depending on your engine specs. The large increases in both power and torque will greatly improve the engine flexibility in all gears and throughout the rev range.

Diesel (turbo)
By Remapping a turbo diesel ECU normally sees the largest increase in gains of any engine type. usually you will achieve an increase of 25 - 40% of power (bhp) and around a 40 - 50% increase in torque depending on your engine specs. The engine response is greatly improved throughout the whole rev range and in all gears. Diesel engines are well known for providing huge amounts of torque and in gear performance. A remapped modern turbo diesel engine will have the ability to beat many petrol engine cars under normal driving conditions.
