Chip Tuning-What does that Mean for your Vehicle?

Posted by Mobileecu on December 1st, 2012

When it comes to getting the best performance out of your vehicle, you may have heard of the term Chip Tuning or ECU remapping. What this means in a nutshell is that a highly skilled technician or mechanic will take a look at your vehicle’s performance using computer software and fine tune the “brains” or the “chip” of the car’s computer system in order to get the vehicle running at its full potential.

When it comes to the term chip tuning, though, it is really all about re-tuning the controls of the vehicle and how it handles the emissions controls, horsepower, fuel usage, and a few other aspects of a vehicle’s engine with the goal of improving the overall performance- both short term and long term. Over time, vehicle’s computer chips have improved making it almost essential that at some point in a vehicle’s life cycle, a remapping of the car system will be required.

Since the early 1990’s vehicles have been using computer chips to get better performance out of a vehicle’s engine. Remapping a vehicle has been around for over 20 years now and the technology has increased rapidly. With modern electrical products and parts being used to keep engines performing at their highest it is essential that only the highest technology and best equipment be used to keep the vehicle running its best.

Trained mechanics and highly skilled calibration engineers have been working for years to fine tune many different models of vehicles to make sure that the best performance out of the engine is occurring every time the vehicle hits the highway. Now cars can be edited and improved for not only the electronic aspect of the vehicle but also for the anti-braking system on the vehicle as well.

Other things that the computer chip tuning can help improve or reset include the valve timing, electronic throttle control, automatic transmission, electronic stability control, and the speed governor as well as many other aspects of the vehicle. If you are thinking about getting your vehicle checked out because of lack of performance don’t hesitate, call a mobile ECU remapping mechanic today.
