Tuning

AJ Tuning offer Quality tuning remapping solutionsacross Newcastle, Gateshead, Sunderland covering the whole of the North East of England.

Most modern cars contain an Engine Control Unit (ECU) that is, in essence, a tiny computer that controls how the engine operates. Vehicle manufacturers de-tune engines by setting the ECU to ‘default’ mode before sending your car to the forecourt. This ensures your vehicle meets EU regulation on emissions and power outputs.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

When you remap a car, you replace the default programme installed on the ECU. The new programme will have been optimised by maximising the vehicles overall performance. This is known as ‘remapping’, as the ECU is essentially a program that controls how the engine works. When your car is remapped, the updated software is transferred via the serial port (also known as an OBD port) which then overwrites the engine map with the new enhanced version.

WHAT IS CHIP TUNING?

Originally, ECU Remapping was defined as ‘Chip Tuning’. This method required the removal of the Eprom from the ECU and the software is programmed directly in to the chip. Chip tuning or ‘chipping’ has become less and less popular in the market, as OBD remapping, requiring no removal of the ECU, has replaced it.

WHAT ARE THE EFFECTS OF ECU REMAPPING?

You’ll hear many people say that ECU remapping doesn’t have an affect on fuel consumption, however, this isn’t true. Because of the process involved in ECU remapping, more fuel is going to be consumed in order to increase the overall power. If the car is driven with a heavy right foot, after the remap has been completed, then fuel economy is unlikely to increase. However, if the driver modifies their driving style, making the most of the additional power now available, then fuel economy can be increased by improved torque and high rev ranges.

In general, after remapping, the driver no longer has to drop down gears to maintain speed on an incline and they may not have to change gear as frequently in traffic. This is where improved fuel economy will become noticeable.

WHY CHOOSE VEHICLE REMAPPING?

There’s a wide range of reasons to choose to remap your vehicle. Firstly, you’ll notice that your engine responds better when the accelerator is pressed. The overall torque and power will be noticeably increased and power delivery will be smoother, making for a more enjoyable driving experience.

During normal, light driving, you’ll notice that your MPG is better, leading to cost savings overall, if the vehicle is driven carefully

Diesel Tuning Software & ECU Files for Maximum Performance

Diesel tuning is the key to unlocking the full potential of your engine. By optimizing the software in the engine control unit (ECU), diesel vehicles can achieve superior performance, improved fuel efficiency, and enhanced durability. Whether you need more power for towing, better throttle response for daily driving, or fuel savings for fleet management, our professional ECU tuning files deliver the best results.

What Is Diesel Tuning?

Diesel tuning involves modifying the ECU software to adjust key engine parameters. Modern diesel engines rely on ECU programming to control fuel injection, turboboost pressure, and emissions systems. By fine-tuning these settings, we can achieve:

  • Increased horsepower and torque
  • Better throttle response
  • Enhanced fuel economy
  • Optimized engine longevity
  • Reduced emissions

Our custom ECU remaps ensure that every modification is tailored to the specific vehicle and customer needs, guaranteeing safe and effective tuning.

How Does Diesel Tuning Work?

Diesel tuning is performed by reprogramming the ECU with optimized settings. Our tuning files are carefully developed and tested to deliver the best balance of power, efficiency, and reliability. The process involves:

  • Fuel injection optimization – Adjusting injection timing and quantity for improved combustion efficiency.
  • Turbo boost management – Enhancing turbo pressure for smoother and stronger acceleration. Learn more about turbo tuning and how we safely optimize boost levels
  • Torque calibration – Refining torque delivery for improved drivability and towing capability.
  • Air-fuel ratio tuning – Ensuring the perfect balance for cleaner combustion and lower emissions.
  • EGR & DPF adjustments – Modifying exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) and diesel particulate filter (DPF) parameters for optimal engine performance and longevity.
