Remapping / Chiptuning your ECU (Engine Control Unit) produces some very impressive BHP gains.
We overwrite the manufacturers original engine control program (map) with an optimized program, this is called re-mapping. The best BHP gains are achieved with turbo petrol & turbo diesel vehicles, up to 30% increase in BHP & Torque. Non turbo engines give typical gains of 5 to 10%
All re-mapping is done through either the vehicles OBD II diagnostic port or by connecting directly onto the ECU using a specialist programming device. Only on very rare occasions do we need to open the ECU to programme directly on the circuit board. This process is referred to as background debug mode (BDM)
Cheshire Autotech use only the finest and most stable tuning hardware supplied and fully supported by CMD technologies (www.flashtec.ch). They are THE market leader in terms of tuning hardware and programming equipment and we have working with them for years. All of our performance software is written either in house or comes from a known programmer whom Cheshire Autotech or our parent company, Autotune (www.auto-tune.co.uk) have been working with for years.
The original program can be re-loaded if you are selling your car or for any other reason.
The entire process takes approx 1 hour depending on your make and model. If you are unable to travel to our premises in Warrington, then we offer a mobile service, so we can come to your home or place of work………. Its that simple!

So what is engine remapping ?
Remapping refers to changing or modifying the software programme in a vehicle’s electronic control unit (ECU) to achieve better performance, whether it be more power, cleaner emissions or better fuel economy. Most re-mapping is done by connecting directly into the diagnostic port using a specialist programming device.
The entire engine tuning process takes approx 1 hour depending on your car make and model. If you are unable to travel to our premises in Warrington, Cheshire then we offer a mobile service, so we can come to your home or place of work……… Its that simple!
When Cheshire Autotech remap an ECU we are basically fine tuning the program that deals with engine performance.
