5 ECU remapping myths busted!

There are so many ECU remapping myths on the Internet created by different companies or people. But the worst is that very often those myths are considered as a truth from the customers. As a result, some customers become suspicious when they hear “ECU remapping” or “chip tuning”.

We, at Effective Tuning, decided to start busting many of those ECU remapping myths. In this article, we will explain what is hidden in 5 of the most popular ECU remapping myths and what the truth is. Let’s start!

ECU remapping myth #1 – It can damage your engine

This is an absolute myth! ECU remapping cannot damage your engine and it is safe when it is done properly. This means to be done by professionals and to be modified within the safety limits.

So, before having your vehicle remapped, make sure that you leave it in the hands of experienced tuning specialists with strong background, an excellent reputation, good reviews and satisfied clients.

It is important to keep in mind that each vehicle should be modified differently because of its own specifics. For example, when you want to remap your vehicle limited top speed, do not forget that it is limited for a reason. We, at Effective Tuning, can modify your vehicle without changing the factory limits. Our team will check your original maps and will decide what can be upgraded and what cannot be, so you will enjoy the best results possible!

ECU remapping myth #2 – It can damage the ECU

The early ECUs had to be tuned physically. It means that tuning specialists had to crack them open and physically to modify the electronic control unit. Without a doubt, this process is risky.

Modern ECUs are more complicated, but, fortunately, they are easier for reprogramming. The ECU remapping process involves modifying the existing ECU code or replacing it with a new code for optimized performance, power and fuel economy. The ECU remap is done without a need to be physically opened. The whole process is done via special software. You send to us your original ECU file, we make the needed changes and send the original and the new file back to you, so you can re-upload it and enjoy the results! It is almost like a computer reset and cannot damage your vehicle’s ECU.

ECU remapping myth #3 – The bigger the tuning, the better the results

As we said above, each vehicle and its engine are different and have different needs. For example, a family car and a diesel drag car will have absolutely different tuning levels. That is why there is no “best” ECU remapping equal for all engines. We, at Effective Tuning, will modify your vehicle in a way that it will meet all of your requirements. In addition, we will decide what does your vehicle mostly needs and will make your engine work on its best!

ECU remapping myth #4 – It is risky to be done remotely

Somewhere you may read that the ECU remapping has to be done only in-house because the remote process is dangerous for your engine. In other words, the person who removes the ECU file has to be the one who does the modifications. But this is a huge misconception!

It does not matter if the ECU is plugged into hardware on the bench or if your vehicle is thousands of kilometers away. Our specialists will do the ECU remapping online with special software and will send you the new file over the internet. And believe it or not, the results are the same! We can say that they are even better because you do not have to lose time driving to a tuning center and back.

ECU remapping myth #5 – There is no warranty

Many drivers and customers, especially with new cars, are worried that the ECU remapping is voiding the factory warranty because of the modifications made. They are concerned that the manufacturer will do its best to not pay a warranty.

But it is all just another myth! First of all, the ECU remapping is invisible to the manufacturers and cannot be detected on their diagnostic equipment. With Effective Tuning’s solutions, the manufacturer will never know that the ECU file of your vehicle is modified and upgraded. In addition, many forward-thinking manufacturers are okay with a quality ECU remapping. They know that if the vehicle is modified properly, it is a benefit for them too.
