As modern engines have become more sophisticated, computers, or ECUs, have been used to control how the engine runs. Gone are the days of tuning cars such as the Renault 5 GT Turbo where you could simply change the jet in the carburettor and increase the boost to get a little more power. Nowadays it is necessary to access the computer, used to control the engine, in order to make some alterations to the program resulting in more power and torque from the engine.

Here are some commonly asked questions:

We hope this gives you some idea of what can be safely gained by chipping, or remapping, your car and in the table below you will find a list of the Renault models we are able to upgrade, along with the cost of the upgrade, and an idea of the expected bhp and torque gains that can be achieved. And as one last point it is worth noting that in many cases the car will actaully give slightly better fuel economy due to the more efficient tuning of the ecu program.

Please note all the above power and torque figures are quoted in PS and NM. This is what Renault uses when quoting figures for its cars, for example The Megane 225 is actually 225 PS which eqates to 222bhp. For reference 100PS = 99bhp and 100NM = 73.76lbs/ft of torque.
 
Should you like any more information about chipping or remapping your car or you would like to book your car in to have this carried out please contact us using the details on the contacts page. Please note that on average this service takes around 1 hour to carry out.
