How Long Does A Remap Take To Install
On average, it takes us 1 to 2 hours to install a remap from start to finish. However, in rare circumstances where the connection to the ECU is more complex, it can take between 4 and 6 hours. This total time includes our pre-remap checks, which include doing a visual inspection, an error code read of the ECU to ensure there are no faults, a test drive, and other tests. Once the remap is installed, we conduct further post-remap testing to make sure it’s fully safe before handing you back the keys.
What Is A Remap And How Does It Work
A remap is a process where we adjust the settings on your engine to get more performance out of it. We do this by changing many parameters of how the car operates to increase its performance and fuel economy aspects.
We start by connecting to your car’s engine control unit (ECU). This lets us see what settings are currently being used and how we can best optimize them to deliver more performance, economy, and towing help. Once our specialist has determined what can be done and is safe to do so, we then make changes to these settings and test them out on the road. Once we’re happy with the new settings, we save them onto the ECU and conduct further tests to make sure it’s totally safe for you to use.
Which Part Of The Remap Takes The Longest To Do
The entire process of remapping usually takes around 1-2 hours to complete, although this varies depending on the vehicle’s make and model. The tuning process itself is usually the quickest part, with our remapping specialists going through your vehicle’s checks and diagnosis to ensure everything is ready for the vehicle to be remapped.
However, the actual remap file creation can take longer. Our remapping specialists write custom software for your exact vehicle from scratch, meaning the process takes longer than picking a ‘generic’ or one-size-fits-all remap. Once the file has been created, it needs to be loaded onto the vehicle’s computer. Finally, once the file is loaded, the car needs to be test-driven with further checks to make sure that everything is working correctly before it’s handed back to the owner.
