For a number of years now owners of petrol cars have been remapping their engines to get more out of their cars and make them go faster. More recently diesel remapping has also become popular. The main reason that owners of diesel cars have been a little slower in getting their vehicles remapped is that they usually have a turbo. An urban myth sprang up that remapping vehicles with a turbo was problematic. This was not true and now that owners of diesel cars understand that they are now taking up the option of remapping their vehicles at similar rates to petrol car owners. The Advantages of Diesel Remapping Remapping takes the engine control unit or ECU chip and reconfigures it to enable you to get better performance out of your vehicle. An ECU chip is what controls many elements of modern vehicles. The chip contains the software that decides for example how much airflow there is, how quickly your vehicle accelerates, the mix of fuel available, ignition timing and when the turbo kicks in. For simplicity’s sake manufacturers of modern cars program the ECU chip for vehicles sold anywhere in the world in exactly the same way. ...
... However, the climate, geographical conditions and the rules of the road in each country vary. If the manufacturers wanted to they could produce a package of software and configurations that takes these factors into account to make the way their cars perform better suit local conditions. Unfortunately, the majority of manufacturers of diesel cars have decided not to do this. However, luckily clever mechanics have worked out how to reprogram the ECU chip using remapping. Diesel remapping means more responsive car.
