Definition of ECU Tuning / Chiptuning
Chiptuning is the electronic method of tuning a car, by intervening to the factory electronic control unit and tuning all the necessary parameters in order to implement a correct and reliable mapping for the mechanical subset of every vehicle.
How we work
There are 3 ways of working:
* OBD reflash
With the OBD reflash, remapping is done using the OBD diagnostic port and chip reflashing!
* BDM/Boot Mode
BDM/Boot mode, is the process followed to reflash the EMS outside the car, more commonly known as bench reflashing. This process is mainly used in remote upgrade cases (Bosch MED17/EDC17) in order to restore the EMS to OBD flashable condition.
* Desoldering chiping
This process is used to old technology electronics that haven't got the ability for OBD reflash or Boot mode. In this case the necessary chip is removed from the ECU, reprogrammed via chip programmer and put back to the ECU.
Revlimit offers 3 ECU tuning choices:
Aggressive tuning:
Using this setting, the maximum output of the engine is achieved regardless of the characteristics of each Car. Use of at least 100 octane fuel is needed.
Fuel choices:
- filling station 100oct
- 100oct + watermethanol injection
- E85 Biofuel
- LPG
- Racing fuels
Switching of different fuel types can be done via the multimap control function, eg:
map 1: 100oct
map 2: 100oct + watermeth
map 3: LPG/E85
map 4: Racing fuels
Eco Tuning:
In that case, the lowest possible fuel consumption is achieved compared to the original Car. Output remains to the factory level.
Normal Tuning:
Normal upgrades like stage1, stage2 etc are provided in this case. Fuel choices are: 95, 98, 100 octanes.
In the case of 95 octane fuel, fuel consumption remains to the factory level, whereas in 98/100 octane fuel, there is a noticeable drop to the consumption on conservative driving. Output is increased cause of the higher timing advance.
Also multimap control with different fuel types can be activated:
map 1: Stock
map 2: 95oct optimization
map 3: 98/100oct optimization
Revlimit has the capability to remap with four different ways:
- By mailing the ECU
- Via e-mail
- Software upgrade in our place
- Software upgrade via our representatives
Mailing the ECU:
You send us the ECU, we remap it and we send it back to you the same day.
*This applies only to Stage 1 upgrade or base cranking file for big turbo applications.
Via e-mail:
File service - Tuner's support
