If you are considering having a car remapped, or as it is often
called, car chipping, then here is some information about the process.
This article also contains some simple advice to help you decide if this
is the best course of action for you, and your car.
As a general rule, the larger and more powerful your car engine is the more benefit there will be from having it remapped. Cars that have turbo-charged engines, whether they run on petrol or diesel will hugely benefit from a professional remap. Powerful engines that are remapped received a boost to their performance, and the effect of the turbo can be increased. If you are weighing up whether your engine would benefit from this type of improvement, consider its size and whether it will be worth the investment. For powerful cars, it is a good idea.
Improving the performance of an engine is not the only reason to have a remap done. This procedure is an excellent way of maximising the fuel economy of the car. While fuel consumption is directly influenced by how a car is driven, a good remap is known to improve the fuel consumption when compared to the same speeds and style of driving. One aspect to watch out for, if you do have a remap done, is that with increased performance, you will be more inclined to go faster and therefore use up more fuel anyway. Once you are accustomed to the new improved performance your car gives you, and you get into your normal routine of driving, you will see a marked improvement in fuel economy.
Many drivers specifically want their car chipped so that the economy is improved. This is where the balance comes in. Better economy means compromising on performance. The best professionals, who offer this service, will take the time to discuss the needs and aspirations of the driver and find out what they want, better speed, or better fuel consumption. For many people, getting as many miles per gallon from their car is far more important than its power and speed.
One aspect to watch out for with remapped engines is problems with the clutch. If you have a good clutch then there will be no issue, but increasing the power of your engine can wear a clutch down faster, so if it is already old and on its way out, you will need to replace it more quickly. For best results, if you are having a remap done, your vehicle should always be in good working order anyway, then you will get the best form it. Any parts that need to be replaced, or fixed, should be done before the remap.
Improving the performance of your vehicle can sometimes affect your car insurance, so always check this out. Ask the remap centre for their advice, and check with your insurance company if you are not sure.
For many drivers, and car enthusiasts, having this service done to their engine is an extremely worthwhile exercise. These simple pieces of advice will help you weigh up the pros and cons for yourself and decide whether this is something you want to do for your car.
