What is an ECU remap?

An ECU (Engine Control Unit) is the vehicle’s primary electronic control module that manages engine operation and communicates with other systems. It processes data from sensors such as crankshaft position, airflow, temperature, and fuel pressure, then controls fuel injection, ignition timing, emissions systems, and engine protection strategies.

Are your ECU remaps reversible?

Adblue delete and removal is illegal in the UK under the UK emissions law. Custom software changes of the AdBlue system are legal in the UK. We only recommend complete AdBlue delete removal for off-road vehicles, or vehicles being exported outside of the EU.

How much BHP does stage 1 remapping add to my vehicle?

The engine and vehicle determine the horsepower gain from a stage 1 remap. The exact horsepower gain varies depending on the model and condition of the car. When you request a quote, we can provide the estimated gains for your vehicle.

What stages of remapping are available?

In addition to economy maps and completely unique tuning, we provide stage 1, stage 2, and stage 3 remaps. Stock cars are in Stage 1. Cars with hardware upgrades are in Stage 2. High-power builds with significant component changes are in Stage 3

How does mobile ECU Remapping work?

Similar to workshop remapping, mobile ECU remapping takes place at your location. Convenience is the primary distinction, we come to you.

What are performance vs economy remaps?

Performance maps are linked to more throttle response and power. Fuel conservation and smooth acceleration for daily use are the main goals of economy maps. If your ECU supports more than one map, you can swap between them, or we can flash the car back to stock.

Same-day SID212 Remap and ECU Unclock in Manchester

Ford Transit and Rangers can now have their SID212 ECU unlocked and remapped on the same day. This is because we can access bench mode and unlock the ECU right in our workshop instead of sending the SID212 ECUs away to labs for unlocking. Before, it took a few days to unlock ECUs like the Continental SID212, which is often found in Ford 2.0 EcoBlue engines

What this means for SID212 remaps:

Same-day SID212 ECU unlock
