What Is Remapping a Car?

The car or van is connected to a laptop, but instead of uploading a one-size-fits-all remap, the parameters for your individual vehicle can be altered. This is usually combined with runs on a dynamometer, so your vehicle's performance and fuelling is checked and tweaked all the way through the rev range.

Is remapping good for your car?

Some people are concerned that engine remapping could cause problems with their car. But it shouldn't affect reliability if you use a reputable company. Remapping does put extra strain on an engine, but not a dangerous amount if it's done properly.

Does remapping affect engine life?

The remap itself will not shorten the life of an engine. A careful, thinking driver could get say 200K out of a remapped car whereas someone who constantly drove with their right foot, accelerating and braking hard all the time may only get 100K.
