ECM DIESEL REMAPPING

The goal of this brief post is to discuss the benefits and drawbacks of ECU remapping and chip tuning, which is something that everyone wants to learn now that Covid-19 has made us all twice as thrifty when it comes to paying for gas. We begin with the advantages (benefits).

In general, the word ECU might be misleading because it can refer to both the ‘electronic control unit’ and the ‘engine control unit’. This article refers to the ECU as the ‘engine control unit.’

In layman’s terms, the ECU is in charge of monitoring and controlling engine activities. ECUs in contemporary vehicles have two components: software and hardware. In ECU modification, changes may only be made to the ECU program. What effect do these modifications have? They can help you save money on gas while also increasing the power and torque of your engine. As you may be aware, the technical word for making modifications to ECU software is ECU remapping (though others prefer ‘tuning’).

3- Improve throttle responsiveness:

The main downside of adopting ETC, or ”electronic throttle control,” technology is that it generates a delayed reaction.

When the driver presses the accelerator pedal in an ETC-equipped car, ETC transmits a signal to the ECU. The ECU then digests the data and opens the throttle in line with the tables stored in its memory. This is a time-consuming operation that causes the acceleration response to be delayed.

Now, why do automakers bother with ETC in the first place? Remember all the requirements that manufacturers must follow that we discussed earlier? They are the primary rationale for employing ETC technology. With Caracaltech’s ECU remap and chip tune, we can increase throttle responsiveness.

The diagram below depicts the relationship between pedal and throttle position in various varieties. The illustration shows the effects of ECU remapping on throttle opening. To increase throttle response, ECU remapping makes the throttle more linear.

4- Removing Speed Limits Using ECU Remapping:

Every year, cars get safer and cleaner. Speed limitations may be imposed in several types of vehicles for reasons of safety, the environment, or the road.

Many contemporary automobiles are restricted to specified speeds. Given that driving is an exciting pastime for some, they may wish to abolish the speed restriction in order to compete in sporting tournaments, for example. CaracalTech comes in to take on the problem.

5- Remove the rev limit:

Our experts can determine rev limit regardless of the ECU type, such as Bosch, Siemens, or Delphi. You will learn to discover, remove, or alter the rev restriction using our online training or tuning file service.

Keep in mind that raising the engine rpm limit has no effect on improving engine power and torque and should only be utilized in extreme circumstances.

7- Diesel Particulate Filter Removal:

DPF stands for diesel particulates filter, in case you didn’t know. DPF is a pollution-control device (sometimes known as a system). DPF is in charge of capturing soot and diesel particles in a contemporary diesel engine.

When the DPF is sufficiently saturated, it initiates a regeneration cycle to burn up the particulate matter inside the filter. After and before the catalytic converter, a DPF can be placed. The next image shows a DPF fitted after the converter.

DPF contains two chambers, one of which has a honeycomb air filter in a metal shell, similar to the catalyst convertor.

The diesel particulate filter contains a pressure sensor at its inlet and output that measures the pressure and sends it to the ECU.

DPF is primarily a pollution-prevention measure. Our specialist can remove the DPF from the ECU and address this problem since removing the DPF is less expensive than purchasing a new one. So, if your DPF isn’t operating properly or if you have any other issues with it, contact us for DPF removal. We will gladly assist you.

8- Reducing cooling fan temperature:

With ECU remapping, we may modify the operating condition of the cooling fan, specify a new temperature, and activate the cooling fan sooner than the manufacturer setpoint to avoid damage in hot situations.

9- Turn off the EGR:

EGR, which stands for Exhaust Gas Recirculation, is not solely about nitrogen recirculation, contrary to common opinion. It is a gas reduction technology used to minimize harmful gas emissions such as nitrogen dioxide, which has a negative influence on the environment.

EGR, like the rest of the car’s systems, may be damaged and must be replaced. Unfortunately, EGR is not cheap, but we can remove it from the ECU utilizing our remapping service. In some cases, turning off EGR improves performance.

Needless to mention, there are regulations that require EGR removal. DPF deleteshop accepts no responsibility in this regard, and it is your obligation to follow the rules in your area.
