ECU Remapping
Diesel/Petrol Remapping
The most difficult concept to grasp for most people is that remapping is merely
engine tuning, all thats being done is electronically rather than mechanically
(as in the old days of carburetters and distributors). A chip is simply an electronic
storage device which is located on a circuit board inside the E.C.U.(the Engine
Control Unit). The chip contains values in a binary form which the E.C.U's main
processor (another device on the same circuit board) can understand and use to
control the engine.
Each value inside the chip is held in its own separate position (known as an
'address'), and when a car is remapped, what we are basically doing is altering
the values at the groups of addresses that control fuelling, ignition timing
and on turbo engines, turbo boost. These are known as maps, hence the often-used
term 'remapping'. It is these maps which we massage in order to tune the engine.
Naturally, this is a complex and skilled operation. It requires experienced
personnel who understand the hardware and software, and of course have the appropriate
electronics qualifications in order to understand the procedures. Nowadays the
technology is becoming even more complex. Gone are the days of the 28-pin plug
in chip, a simple 8-bit device. We've experienced the occasional wake-up calls
from chips soldered to the circuit board and with unusual sets of contents,
and have now moved into territory which is definitely not for the faint hearted with
modern engines which have EDC15, EDC16 and EDC17 E.C.U's. Not just new hardware
on the outside but also some mind-boggling software on the inside. Luckily,
Autoremap programmers have kept abreast of the technology, and the company has
invested heavily in state of the art mapping software.
Benefit's:
- Improved power & drivability of your engine
- Sharper throttle response
- Removal of Flat spots
- The option of installing back the original map.
- A friendly and professionally service.
- A reduction of your fuel consumption (at same driving fashion)

Alpha-N tuning
BMW MSS50/52/53/54 AlphaN ECU Remap (for standard cars running with CSL style airboxes without MAF).
AlphaN is where the air mass sensors are no longer used. Normally if they are unplugged the car will run under a reduced power mode, overfuel and bring up an engine management light with generally poor drivability. Our AlphaN upgrade is where we further develop the programme so that the S54 engine will run flawlessly without the air mass sensors. The overall smoothness of the engine is further improved over our standard ECU remap with the low speed drivability and general connectivity with the engine vastly improved.
This upgrade incorporates all of the features and benefits of the standard software above which include the power increase.
Additional Information:
There is no issue of over fuelling but it is essential that the lambda sensors are working correctly (this is essential even without AlphaN) and you keep your air filters reasonably clean (which most enthusiasts will) in order to pass emissions testing.
The MSS52/53/54 control uinit is fitted with a barometric pressure sensor and recieves inputs from other sensors (throttle position, lambda, intake air and coolant) to correctly calculate expected airflow and control fuelling.
Air mass sensors are used mainly for emissions purposes where manufacturers are required to setup their cars such that they will pass regulations under the most strigent conditions. For example, the cars will need to pass emissions tests before release with extremely continaminted oil with air filters which are almost blocked. Enthusiast drivers never allow such things to occur and therefore air mass sensors are not essential.
This upgrade will only be noticed upon cold start where the engine will have a higher speed by approximately 150rpm for the first 30 seconds.
AlphaN for the MSS52/53/54 control unit is also available in conjunction with all other features such as post cat lambda delete and custom remapping for any additional upgrades.

Tuning Box
Our TuningBox unit enhances the performance of your turbo diesel engine, from 25% to 30% (power and torque) and also reduces consumption by up to 10%. The installation is very easy; you connect a little module between the original calculator and the injection system of your car.
Our TuningBox is equipped with connectors identical to those used by the manufacturers. This allows a fast and efficient connection without cables cutting and resoldering. So, if you wish to take out the additional unit, you can do so by using simple plugs. It leaves no trace on the engine, or in the computer memory of the vehicle.
By operating within the manufacturers’ tolerance limits, our TuningBox does not in any way reduce the life span of the engine or other organs of your car.
Our TuningBox is developed in a high-performance development centre and distributed in over 30 countries.
* Increase torque and engine power up to 30%<
* DIY - Installs in 5 Minutes
* Once removed OEM setting are retained
* OEM Connectors and water proof housing
* Ideal for Vehicles under warranty or leased
* Dyno tested for accurate figures

Agri-Tune
The development and advances in agricultural plant machinery over the past few years has been great and we are now seeing the majority of agricultural engines using the very latest in common rail injection technology. The truth is that agricultural machinery is the largest benefactor when it comes to releasing hidden power by recalibration of the ECU maps or management system. This is mainly due to the large capacity engines fitted to these plant machines that allows us to extract large amounts of extra torque & tractability which, when it comes to farming and transportation of heavy machinery this is exactly what is needed to provide the best drivability and maximum fuel efficiency.
The agricultural ECU recalibration or remap will involve careful manipulation of parameters such as Fuel pressure, Fuel injection duration, boost pressure request and injection timing plus the controlling limiters for each of these maps and of cause the very important main torque limiter.
Also with the manufacturers adopting the same principals of car and light commercial manufacturers and using modular engines to reduce production costs, you can sometimes benefit from buying the cheaper lower output variant and unlocking its potential via an Elite Remaps ECU upgrade.
We offer tuning for Agco, Case, Claas, CMI, Cummins, Deutz, Fendt, Hyundai, JCB, John Deere, Landini, Linde (forklifts), Massey Ferguson, Mc Cormick, New Holland, Same, Sennebogen, Valtra.

Trucks
There are various ways to increase the power of the modern diesel engine. The
huge array of tuning boxes, tuning modules, diesel chips, power boxes, ECU chips,
serial uploads, downloads, remaps, hybrid turbos, turboboost alterations etc
etc and then the options turn to analogue or digital, electronic or manual.
It becomes confusing to say the least.
We offer a full range of solutions for commercial vehicles. If you thought
that increasing performance meant fuel efficiency would suffer you would be
wrong! Our solutions can save large fleet operators hundreds of thousands of
pounds a year and given the tight margins and the cost of fuel, it's a definite
advantage in the market place.
Remapping/chipping' involves reprogramming a truck's electronic control unit
(ECU) to offer greater torque, increased power and lower fuel consumption. Power
and torque of turbo diesel engines can be increased by as much as 30% and
fuel savings of up to 1.5mpg are common.
The extra torque means the driver will need to make far fewer gear changes,
leading to benefits of less wear on both clutch and gearbox and, much more importantly,
a huge reduction in the driver's stress levels!
Remapping/chipping is increadibly quick and simple. In the majority of cases
there is no need to change a chip or even open the ECU - the chip is reprogrammed
via the easily accessible diagnostic port inside the cab.
Tuning a diesel engine to most companies means simply increasing the power
and torque, but not to us! ALL our power upgrades incorporate fuel efficiency
settings which means not only is the power and torque increased, fuel economy
is also enhanced!
All our power upgrades work by fuel remapping which is basically manipulating
the fuel delivery curve to remove ‘flat’ or dead’ spots and increase
overall engine power and torque. This form of power upgrading is safe, reliable
and 100% effective!
Benefit's:
- More Power & torque
- Greater Fuel Efficiency - saving up to 1.5mpg
- Fewer gear changes
- Power options from +20bhp to +100bhp
