      What is stage 1 and 2 etc? I was on the understanding the only way to really tune a car once added supporting mods is to do it live on a dyno otherwise you are just downloading a generic map still not one speciffically designed for you car?
      I remember as a kid superchips popping up, back at the start of car remapping so have always found it interesting
      pretty sure they were the first, i vaguely remember reading a story that the founder was originally a washing machine repair guy and realised his cars ecu used the same eeproms as washing machine programme boards, his equipment all worked on var ecu still... you then bought a pre flashed eeprom to install into ecu

    Honestly a bad idea.. you’re giving yourself more headache down the line when people have issues with cars you sell. Personally I’d also avoid maps that don’t have a rolling road printout as there can be issues on the test runs that one of these maps won’t detect without the live graph/rolling road. Not trying to be downer, just think it’s something you should think about again before jumping in as I can see you regretting it.

      Rolling road is not the gold standard. The dyno is a tool to see power increase. The logging of the engine parameters, which can be done on road, is what matters.

    A major point in this has been lost in translation i think. The initial and primary idea is to help car dealers make sure cars are going out without a tune on. This is quite a big issue for car dealers at the moment. A growing trend in the tuning industry are car dealers making sure they are not sending cars out with tunes and deletes.

    I had a plug and play I fitted to my 102bhp 2.5tdi VWT4, 1999 vintage. 3 kids camping gear, bikes and towed a caravan. The tuning box in its day was £150. It absolutely transformed the van for that purpose it was used for. Had to take it off for MOT because smoked a bit. Did 300k before it was sold. For me it’s a good experience but I know people who have not been so lucky. Re maps do not have to be purely for power but can be changed for economy or torque for towing

      They can’t tell for several reasons (only a stage 1) the ecu doesn’t say “mapped” for example. Secondly they don’t have time for that, the cars go to garage then onto copart which we buy from, they now have AI doing write off categories for them. They may have insinuated to you you had it mapped as a reason to try not to pay out then you coughed up, or they lied. They cannot see that oh x y z has put a map on here.

    Had a Megan 230 chipped a few years ago. It was supposed to take it from 230 bhp to 280bhp. I couldn't tell any difference. When I complained I was told the power would come in gradually after a few hundred miles. Never saw any difference! So to me it was a complete waste of money. Over the years it occurred to me that if I'd have told my Insurance my premium would have increased for nothing and if I had not told them and had a serious accident the insurance would have been void. If by some chance I'd have killed someone, I dread to think of the consequences. So would I do it again..... I'll let you go figure. I've now bought a TVR 4.5L CERBERA Red Rose. It definitely doesn't need any upgrade.

    Good onya Joe. I think many people are completely missing the point. This is a simple system to moderately help with power, performance and economy (yup, check out your mpg, bet it's improved) for a reasonable price. For those that want a complete re-map and take an engine and g/box (to within an inch of its life) then of course you'll be taking it to a specialist with a rolling road etc. We all know how much THAT costs. And yes, advise the insurance company blah blah. Lighten up people, Joe's just giving folks another string to their bow as and when required 😉

    Long time follower of your channel and watched over 50% of all your stuff now
    This video though i think is going to come back and bite you in the ass a bit.
    With the greatest respect......you didnt "learn" how to remap in less than 30 minutes!!
    What you have actually done is follow instructions from someone and became an "basic expert" with support. Your knowledge of what you actually did is limited to what you were told and what you experienced when you stuck your foot down.
    I was actually thinking of having my Golf remapped and was excited when this video dropped (was one of the recalled ones due to the efficiency con from VW and has ran "delayed" since they "fixed" it)......but i wouldnt trust you to do it based on this video and visible 30 minutes training.
    Good luck though fella....just be carefull out there.

    @spanmanuk 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +13

    With the greatest respect, writing/uploading a slave file to the ECU of any car isn't remapping in any way shape or form. Remapping is all the work that goes into creating the master file for each vehicle. Adjusting all the relevant calibrations from the information gleaned via real-time data logs from an individual vehicle is remapping.
    I'm not demeaning what you are doing, and so long as the correct process is followed you won't be bricking anyone's ECU, the customer gets what they want and you're making money. I have no issues with any of that whatsoever, you are providing a service and adding value to your business but you cannot call what you are doing remapping. Sorry to be pedantic but it is what it is. I wish you all the best.👍

      I went to a back street turner in Sheffield years ago when I had an old audi a6. He charged me £200 in the following 6 months I blew up 3 intercoolers, safe to say I got rid.
      Unfortunately I lost my trust in mapping. Fast forward 4yrs I had the best car I've ever owned (a 530 bmw n57 engine) I had a few glow plug and module issues. I decided to take it to Darkside Developments in grimethorpe for work, I opted for a stage 1 map, glow plugs, module, swirl flaps removed and the inlet side walnut blasting.
      This absolutely transformed the car in to something special. I owned the car for many years after and it never skipped beat.
      Lesson learnt, go to a reputable tuner who knows their stuff.

    This will lead you to a load of trouble. Re mapping is an art using a dyno over multiple runs fine tuning to get the balance between power and torque not just plugging in a box and there you go. You also have no idea of the state of the engine your working on

    Good learning stuff and useful info too. Same engines are sharing by different manufacturer for example Ford and Volvo, Porsche and Touareg, Mini and Peugeot etc etc, many examples there, if they share same engine and tweaking some components selling as different car, why remap will be always harmful? My understanding is Engine manufacturer allows us to do some modifications, and thus these people doing, now if I want Porsche spec in Mini cooper body that will blow my engine out, but same series of (engine code wise) I can enhance its performance by my own taste. In many aspect this type of software quite handy if anyone buying and selling cars, not just rev up for speeding Thank you Joe for sharing

Great truck but a bit of a slug and could be wrong footed quite often. i spent 200 quid on a reputable piggy back box from Bluespark which "crudely" interrupts the signal from the common injector rail pressure sensor and manifold absolute pressure sensor. Night and day change in driveability, and no fuel consumption penalty, it sits on the exact same consumption numbers. I would buy another for my next turbodiesel or retune my ECU.

    I would never recommend a remap unless you have the actual car on a rolling road and customise the map to the specific car. Every car is slightly different and will need tweaks and changes to any base map.

    Isn't this tuning rather than remapping.
    A remap would require you to manipulate parts of the programming based on output data files and in the process you would also need to upgrade some of the parts to avoid them blowing. Better inlets... forged parts.... different cats etc depending on the power change.
    To be honest I wouldnt buy a vehicle that was remapped so a good idea to check it for remapping and return it to the manufactures spec.
    From experience this is an insurance nightmare... remap reported (premium rejected or increased) new part installed to complete the remap (not retune) insurance company rejects the modification etc

    • @KeyBrosUK
      @KeyBrosUK 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Tuning and remapping are the same thing just different ways of saying the same thing. There’s different “stages” as they are now called. Stage 1 requires no hardware, stage 2 on most vehicles requires intake, intercooler, downpipe and better flowing exhaust (sports cat in most cases). Stage 3 is changing turbos, injectors and so on.
