We are specialists in tailor made
performance and economy remap chip tuning for every model of car,
van, truck and lorry. At KAP Tuning we use the very latest
technology and software to ensure you get the best from your
vehicle.
An intial power run will be
offered, and a technician will read your engine management file
through the use of your OBD port. If the OBD port is not usable/
non existant your Ecu will then be removed and placed on our Ecu
Jig. The original file is saved and then will then be modified
according to your chosen package (Perfromance / Balanced). We will
then write this file onto your Ecu and reinstall it. Another power
run will be completed for you to see the performance increase. If
necessary additonalo power runs are carried out until we are happy
with the result.
Our Remaps are not just simple
adjustments to the fuel supply, like a tuning box. They include a
full remap of the entire engine control function of the ECU
including: fuel supply, torque maps, turbo pressure control and
throttle maps etc. The result is one the smoothest, most powerful,
efficient enhancement to your engine. With our facilities we can
create custom tuned maps developed specifically for your
vehicle. Time required approx 2-5 Hrs (depending on ECU
difficulty).

Superchips
Remapping
Superchips ECU remaps will
optimise the
performance of your car, helping to maximize your driving pleasure.
Engine tuning, for petrol or diesel engines, will change your
driving experience.
There are so many limits on
driving these days.
Even your car's intended performance is restricted because car
manufacturers have to allow for drivers who do not adhere to
service schedules and who use sub-standard fuels. The good news is
that the ECU remap software can free you from these limits.
We are pioneers in engine ECU remaps for enthusiastic
drivers. No one else has invested the time, money and effort into
research and development or has the technological know-how that
over thirty years' experience of ECU chipping can bring. Leading
car manufacturers trust Superchips as the market leaders,
recognising their proven expertise in this
field.Time required approx 2-3
Hrs.

DPF/EGR
Solutions
A DPF remap will alter
the
software in the ECU so that in combination with physically removing
the DPF, the vehicle will run without logging any error codes,
stopping any future regeneration, or bringing any DPF check lights
or engine management light on the dash. Benefits
include:
Improved MPG –
when the DPF filter is removed,
the car breathes easier and fuel is not wasted on
regeneration.
Improved
Performance – you may have noticed a
decrease in performance, gradually over time? Without the
restriction in the exhaust system of a blocked DPF, the car will
perform much better again.
No more limp
modes - The ECU can cause the engine
to go into Limp Mode to limit potential damage if there is a DPF
regeneration failure.
No expensive DPF
replacements.
When combined with a
remap the
increase in performance and economy can be quite
astounding.
At KAP Tuning our
engineering
department are able to provide the physical removal of the dpf
exhaust system, while our technical department will remove the dpf
data from the ecu. (please note that this is only recommened
for off road use only as your vehicle may fail an MOT test after
this procedure. Time required approx 2-3
Hrs.)

Aftermarket Ecu
Remaps
At KAP Tuning we have
experience with the
following standalone ECU's:
A full health check
is provided before to make
sure your car is suitable to be run on our Dyno. It is suggested
that a number of checks are carried out before you bring your car
to us to make the process easier and reduce lost dyno time. Please
check:
Fuel - You have the
correct fuel in the vehicle
that you will be normally running as this will affect the
tune.
Tyres - Please check
all tyre pressures and check
for damage.
Plugs - Make sure that
the correct plugs (heat
range, gap and type) are installed, this is a big cause in lost
dyno time.
Oil - Please check you
have the correct oil
filled to the correct mark.
Coolant - Make sure
that the vehicle has the
correct amount of coolant.
Our priority is the
safety of your cars and
our technicians, if your vehicle is unsafe to be run on the dyno
then your vehicle may be refused until it meets our standards.
Required time varies on customer specification.

*NOTE: There is nothing illegal
about remapping an ECU on an engine. Although you should
inform your insurance company of any alterations made to the
vehicle. From February 2014 the inspection of the exhaust system
carried out during the MOT will include a visual check for the
presence of a DPF canister, if fitted as standard equipment. We
therefore recommend DPF Removal for non road use.*
