What is ECU Remapping?

When a manufacturer develops a new car they have to take into consideration all of the conditions it may be subjected to in all of the regions in which they intend to sell this model. This means instead of just optimising the ECU’s program or ‘map’ to deliver the best performance or the most fuel efficiency they have to make compromises to the map to take into account these potential differing operating conditions. These could include sub-standard fuels, extremes in temperature and altitude, differing emission laws and even the possibility that vehicle may not be serviced on a regular basis and in accordance with the manufacturers recommended instructions.

ECU remapping is taking a read from the ECU’s processing chip of the vehicles standard compromised map called tuning cars and adjusting various parameters within the map such as fuel pressure, boost pressure (on turbocharged applications) ignition advance and throttle pedal control amongst others to release the true performance from the engine. It is a completely safe process as it is just giving the engine the performance it should have had in the first place before all the compromises were applied to the original programming. Every engine will have its own unique map and by adjusting this we can fine tune the characteristics of the engine; unleashing more power and in many cases reduce fuel consumption too.

How do you Remap Or Tune Car?

We do not change any hardware in your vehicle, we just modify the operating parameters in the ECU’s program or ‘map’. In many cases the map stored on the ECU’s processor can be accessed via the on-board diagnostics port (OBD) in the vehicle AKA Remapping via OBD, normally found under the dashboard. In some newer models the ECU will have to be removed from the vehicle and the casing opened, our technicians will then use specialist tools to read the original map straight from the processing chip also known as chip tuning.

The technician will then upload the original map to our map writing team who will adjust the parameters to maximise the performance, fuel economy or a clever blend of both. Depending on the vehicle and ECU type the remapping process can take under an hour and if at any time you wish to return your vehicles ECU to its original default settings, this can be done easily and free of charge as we always keep a copy of the original software as a backup.

Benefits of ECU Tuning/Remap

Engine remapping will not only improve the engines power and torque figures, it will also sharpen the throttle response and widen the power-band. This will make the power delivery a lot more linear, which in turn will make the vehicle feel a lot livelier to drive and the engine more flexible. Frequently, the vehicles power output is restricted by the manufacturer for no other reason than to ensure that the vehicle fits into a class to suit fleet buyers. As a driving enthusiast, you do not need or want such restrictions placed upon your vehicles ECU and its performance therefore you can benefit from the hidden power and torque locked away within your engine management system.

The other main benefit of remapping will be a reduction in fuel consumption. With the extra torque especially at the bottom of the rev range you will see a fuel saving, as it will require less throttle input to maintain motorway speeds, you can drive in a higher gear at a slower speed as well as helping significantly when fully laden, towing or on gradients and even in start stop traffic.

• Increased horsepower
• Increased torque
• Better throttle response
• Smoother power delivery
• Improved fuel economy
• Safer overtaking

BEST CHIP TUNING FILES | CHIP TUNING PROGRAM

This is the absolute core of our business, with quality and best chiptuning service standards second to none - which is why so many top tuning businesses worldwide use us for their tuning files. Unlike most competitors, we have a team of file writers, so you are not reliant on just one person.

PERFORMING A REMAP

• As a trade professional, you will already be confident to connect equipment to the diagnostic socket.
• The KessV2 is a sophisticated protocol tool that plugs into the socket and then connects to a laptop in order to modify the vehicle.
• The process is straightforward and controlled, with the software guiding you the whole way through, firstly the initial vehicle identification then onto reading the ECU file.
• This file is sent to our Files Office who will make the modifications and return the file to you to be written on the vehicle. Typical hands on time is less than 30 minutes.
• To find out more visit www.YouTube.com and search Quantum Tuning, where you will find a short video showing a straightforward OBD remap from start to finish.

WHAT DO WE OFFER?

We offer the lowest cost quality tuning files in the remapping industry - and the more you buy, the cheaper they become.

Our file packages are available in monthly bundles, with additional “Bolt-On” credits if you find that you have used up your usual regular allocation early. Single file credits are also available for occasional customers.

All dealers have access to the same pricing structure and get the same level of service – which remains consistent in quality: we do not offer a cut-back “no frills” file service.

Our files room is open is open from 7am to 7pm GMT Monday to Friday, 8am to 4pm GMT on Saturdays and Sundays; and we run an hour of hours service on weeknights until 9pm GMT.

All prices plus VAT at 20%, unless in Europe with a valid VAT number; or outside the EU.

Remapping File Service

White Label File Service

• Joining the Quantum Tuning dealer group is good for your business, but this might not suit everyone, so we can supply you on a confidential basis, completely transparent to your customer base.
• This is something we currently do for dozens of well known companies around UK, Europe and the rest of the world.
• If ever questioned about the source of your files by a customer, you simply tell them that you employ a top file writing company, under contract.
• You still get the benefits of our technical support and training. If you are in an area not covered by an existing dealer, you will also receive customer leads.

HOW TO BECOME A QUANTUM DEALER

We can offer a couple of ways of joining our dealer group, which route you choose depends on your current level of hardware ownership.

BUY YOUR OWN TUNING TOOL

To get you started, purchase a KessV2 for £1700 + VAT (where applicable) which includes six file credits. This is a “Slave” tool, connected to the Quantum master.

File packages are available in bundles of 6, 14, or 25 with prices starting at the lowest cost plus VAT per unit.

How does this compare to our competitors? Whilst you may be able to purchase a Kess tool more cheaply from other suppliers (who sometimes sell them at an initial loss and then refuse to allow them to be transferred to an alternative supplier) you are likely to be tied in to a higher file price. A £75 price tag per file with a moderate turnover of 100 files per year would cost an additional £2500 when compared Quantum dealership.

IF YOU ALREADY OWN A TUNING TOOL

If you have Master tools then we can supply you files straight away. If you have an Alientech or CMD Slave tool it needs to be transferred to our Master first; but if your existing supplier refuses to transfer the tool, or wants to charge a large fee, then it can be more cost effective to have a new tool.

BENCH TOOLS

We encourage every dealer to invest in an Alientech K-TAG system for doing bench work on ECUs that have been removed from the vehicle. For those that don’t have this facility, we provide a bench programming service for £100 including the file: simply send or bring the ECU into us, and we will turn it round on the same day.
