We now offer
engine remapping for your Alfa Romeo Petrol or Diesel,
the modern version of chipping which is the correct way to safely
tune a modern diesel engine and is not a so called “tuning
box”.
With our
ECU remapping you get smooth and progressive power,
with improved response, that can be tailored to your requirements.
Angel Tuning are able to offer tuning services either at one
of our outlets or at your location with our mobile tech team,
who are fully equipped with the latest diagnostic equipment
as well as a wide range of tuning hardware. Whilst we normally
book 3-5 days in advance for mobile and 1-2 days for our outlets
it depends when you book in as we can often get customers in
earlier.

If your
car is not listed or made before 1999 please do not ask.
If you have a van made after 1999 please do ask!
What
is engine mapping?
The combined
data of the fuel mixture and ignition timing of "open loop"
digital systems are held on a chip within your Electronic Control
Unit (ECU). This data is then used by the ECU programme to set
ignition and fuel supply to the engine as required.
The data
or "characteristics" of the information can be depicted,
as a graph which when analysed and altered is known as engine
mapping.
Why
do I need ECU remapping?
When a manufacturer
releases a car into the world it has to be able to cope with
many different demands in many different environments by many
different users all "from the box". For example, the
car has to cope with poor fuel quality, dusty environments,
poor services and at the same time provide reliability and economy.
This has meant that the manufacturers have in essence detuned
the engines to cater for all this.
In Europe
and America we generally do not have these issues to the extent
that the engines have been detuned to - so, we have the scope
to change them. This is what we at Angel Tuning are doing for
customers across the UK.
Can
the ECU remapping be reversed?
The main
plus point of this modern methodology means that we can reverse
our remapping back to standard for you at any time. Because
of this, if you came back to us within 14 days and asked us
to reverse the mapping process we will do so free of charge
AND refund you the full amount. After 14 days, there is NO CAHRGE
to return your ECU to standard, but no refund unless there is
any issue of course. If you have come a long way to us, we understand
its not always easy to return within 14 days, so talk to us
and we will come up with a compromise for you.

Can you Remap / Tune my car?
Nearly all
European diesel and petrol models made since 1998 can be chip
tuned.

Do I need to come to you for a tune up!?
No, we will
come to you if required. If you are a long distance from us
we will try and group a few remaps together from that area to
make the trip worthwhile. This includes, Ireland, Scotland and
mainland Europe.

Do you have a torque and BHP graph for my engine?
Quite simply,
no. They are meaningless to the majority and we rarely have
a before one to match it against. The real experience is in
the driveability of the car. If you are unhappy with the car
when you test drive it then we will return the tune to standard
and refund you any tuning charges. If you really want a before
and after torque / BHP graph we can arrange this with a local
company at cost for you.

How much does a an ECU Remap cost?
Our prices
start at just £235 for small engined petrol models. Ring

Does an ECU remap affect my warranty?
There is
no change needed to any hardware for engine remapping and in
the main is both physically and diagnostically undetectable.

Remapping and Automatice or Selespeed car, would
you recommend this?
We cannot
see why it would make any difference to it being manual or auto.

Is re-mapping better or simply different from
chipping?
Remap V's
Chipping! OBD Engine mapping is the modern version of chipping.
When you "chip" a car you basically put in a chip
that has a set of data already burnt onto it, into your ECU.
When you OBD remap an ECU, you save off the data currently stored
on the chip and overwrite it with the performance data. This
then allows you to apply different maps where applicable and
also restore the original data should you require it. The benefit
obviously of this is that it means you have not changed any
standard part of the car and therefore warranty is unaffected
etc.
What you
must remember is that this is not some gimmick promise item
that fools the engine into thinking something else (oh how I
wish those things would be banned under the sales description
act!), it is the real version of engine tuning using a modern
approach.

What about after 14 days or if I want to sell
my car?
If you want
the work reversed after this time we will do it FREE OF CHARGE
plus £25 if we come to you. Therefore if in a years time
you want to sell the car in its standard tune just let us know.

ECU Remap, Chip Mapping effect on insurance?
This is
where we cannot tell you what to do. Basically the change in
the engine map is extremely hard to diagnose, even with the
right equipment to compare it with. Secondly to say something
has been modified you have to compare it to the original and
with only one map on the car what can you compare it against
to prove it has been modified. Now we are NOT advising you not
to tell your insurance company by stating the above. Some insurance
companies are indifferent to remapping as they don't know what
it is, some are half in the know and add a premium just for
the sake of it and some insurance companies know exactly what
it is and will ask the correct questions - if you tell them.
»back to top
Will chip tuning my car effect the longevity
of my engine?
Because
of the tolerances built into modern engines you are likely to
decrease the longevity by 3-5% from the expected lifetime of
the engine. However as the life expectancy of all modern engines
if properly maintained is in excess of 300,000 miles you are
looking at 285,000 miles! If you did "blow up", the
likelihood is that it would have blown up anyway. We are not
removing any rev limiters etc so therefore if you thrashed the
living hell out of your engine it would have happened anyway
we therefore cannot guarantee the longevity of components out
of our charge.

What are the additional charges?
None! Simple
as that.

What BHP and Torque increase can I expect on
my car?
It is difficult
to ascertain an exact figure for each car, however for a normally
aspirated petrol and diesel engine we expect to gain 10% on
both figures, so if you have an 83 BHP 1242 Punto the likely
minimum gain is 8 BHP and 8 lb ft torque. For a turbo derivative
we expect bigger increases, namely 35 BHP on the 1.9JTD and
a massive 60BHP plus on the 2.4JTD engines. For a more detailed
explenation of Torque & BHP, please click here

What do Angel Tuning require and how long does
it take?
Obviously
we need your car! We will test drive it before hand, with you
if required, to perform some basic tests so we can ascertain
if there are any issues that will affect our work. If your car
has any issues that will negate the affects of the work and
render it pointless we will tell you straight away and we will
not charge you for the tuning, clearly stating why. To complete
the work takes about 1 hour from start to finish including the
pre and post test drives. However, the post test drive time
is up to you. If you wish to drive around for two hours in the
locality you are more than welcome to do so, we will advise
some good roads and routes for you as well. We are much happier
knowing if you have any issues close by than having driven all
the way home.

What does ECU remapping do?
Quite simply,
it changes the data in various areas to provide a different
map so that areas such as the fuel supply, ignition timing,
injector opening times etc are altered to provide a more efficient
combustion.

What if I am not happy with what you have done?
We give
you 14 days and if you are not happy we guarantee to refund
you and come and return the car to standard specification.

What warranty
do you give on your work?
We change
data held on a component of your car, we are not changing any
hardware on any post '99 car. Therefore we have nothing to give
a warranty on. However, we will do our utmost to help anyone
who has a problem, including returning the car to standard for
testing etc.

The effect of a remap on on fuel consumption?
If you are
a frugal driver to start with then your economy will improve.
If you are going to use the power more often and drive the car
faster - your consumption will drop as it would anyway. We have
had people tell us that consumption has not been affected as
when the car is not being used "enthusiastically"
it is more economical so it evens up when it is. But we would
rather say that you will see a slight decrease in your economy
- because we drive "enthusiastically" ourselves!
