Question 1

How does the remap improve the vehicle?

Accepted Answer

A full engine remap alters the fuel, boost and torque characteristics of the engine. By controlling the fuel pressure, injected fuel quantity, maximum permissible visible smoke limit, boost pressure from the turbocharger and the torque characteristic. A Quantum remap offers a fully controllable change to the engine characteristics, while still operating with full engine feedback control and within all the preset engine sensor limits.

Question 2

Is it safe for the vehicle?

Accepted Answer

Our re-mapping process enhances and optimises the power of the engine within safe limits, not beyond them. The extra power will also result in fewer gear changes. Manufacturers have to build a tolerance for the parts in the engine, to manage the effect of wear and tear, production variations, and to ensure their warranty claims during their warranty period three years, are kept to a minimum. Most race and rally engines are pushed for every last bhp, and thus they more common to fail, while standard car/van/lorry engines are limited back, well away from the probability of multiple failures. Each engine is different as in how much it can be pushed in a remap, but a good ECU remap from a quality ECU tuner will never get close the limits of component failure. You will see that the top companies within the marketplace have all develop vehicle improvements to similar outputs. Beware of tuners who claim significantly more, it’s either lies hoping that the average customer wouldn’t be able to tell the difference, or the engine is being pushed too hard and will quickly become unreliable.

Question 3

Does it affect the manufacturer's warranty?

Accepted Answer

Some manufacturers’ diagnostic equipment may detect a remap. Additionally, many forward-thinking manufacturers turn a blind eye to a quality remapping service, knowing that a suitably enhanced vehicle can only ever benefit them. The official line from most manufacturers is that if a modification causes a problem with the car, then the part of the vehicle affected will not be covered under warranty, this does not mean a unilateral cancelling of the complete warranty.
