The Working Of Ecu Remapping And Tuning Box
June 21, 2018
Most of the customers visit garages to get a boost up to the performance and economy of their vehicles and every time they visit to the technician they had a question in their mind that what is the actual difference between the ECU remapping and the tuning boxes. They want answer to this question as they want to know which of these techniques is going to deliver the biggest improvements to the performance and the economy and which is the safe and better option for your car? Let us proceed further to know in detail at the cost, performance and safety of both these options
How remapping works?
A remap works by altering the software inside the engine control unit of the vehicle. This alteration includes controlling the vital engine functions like ignition timing, fuelling and boost pressure. The manufacturers while making vehicles, artificially restricts the performance of the car so as to protect the engine from owner’s negligence or to ensure that the vehicles fit into the certain specified categories. Using ECU remap as a base, you can efficiently optimise the settings and can fine tune the software within certain safety parameters. This significantly improves the engine power, efficiency or the combination of both without compromising on the durability or the lifespan
How tuning box works?
Tuning box works differently than the remapping. It is fitted between the engine sensors and the actuator and alters the data that is received by ECU and is sent to the engine. This feeds ECU about the inaccurate data related to the fuel pressure and then the ECU forces the engine to increase the fuel pressure in order to compensate and boost engine performance. This process involves high risk as there is always a chance to overstress the engine leading to unnecessary wear and tear and reducing the lifespan of your engine.
Compare
both these techniques and wisely opt out for the best one. Consider the
factors like performance, economy and price to opt out for the best
tuning technique. Most of the times the car owners prefer opting for ECU remap over the tuning box to get the best results in forms of performance, economy and price of their vehicle.
