Another reason to change the electronic control unit map is if there are engine, intake, or exhaust modifications to the car. These "bolt-on" modifications alter the way that the engine flows, often causing the air to fuel ratio to change. Without re-mapping the fuel tables, some of the performance gains from the modifications may not be realized.
Remapping is the simplest form of stage one engine tuning; it is performed mostly on turbocharged vehicles containing a modern Engine Control Unit (ECU). Almost all modern vehicles have an ECU, primarily supplied by Bosch or Delphi Technologies. The ECU has firmware that controls the various parameters under which the engine runs. These ...
The new engine is initially being offered in the Range Rover Sport in two power outputs, 360 PS (265 kW; 355 hp) and 400 PS (294 kW; 395 hp). Both are considered to be mild hybrid electric vehicles. The 48 volt electrical architecture JLR announced with this new engine is similar to Mercedes-Benz's "EQ Boost" and Audi's 48 V systems available ...
Remapping may refer to: Tuning an engine for better performance or fuel efficiency by remapping the Engine control unit; Redefining keys on a keyboard, for example Gateway_AnyKey#Programming; Sector remapping, the automatic replacement of bad sectors by good ones in a hard disk drive
In general automobile engine replacement, a crate engine is often very competitively priced when compared to the cost of a full rebuild of a faulty engine. It is also quicker to ship from stock than to wait an equal time for parts, then to begin a rebuild. Installers often opt for the crate engine because of the cost and ease of replacement.
He revealed details of his prototype engine early in 1912, [39] and the design was further developed by the large scale engine builder F. E. Baker Ltd during 1912 [40] and the results displayed on their stand at the Olympia Motor Cycle show in November 1912. The engine was a high compression four-stroke motorcycle engine, with the gasoline fuel ...
Based on the PSA DW12 engine [citation needed] and with a capacity of 2.2 L (2,179 cc), this engine was released in 2000 by PSA in the Peugeot 406, 607 and Citroen C5. In April 2008 Ford fitted this engine to the Mk IV Mondeo, soon following in the Ford S-Max and Ford Galaxy. The engine was re-engineered and built by PSA in Tremery.
The oldest engine technological predecessor for the variable-displacement engine is the hit and miss engine, developed in the late 19th century.These single-cylinder stationary engines had a centrifugal governor that cut the cylinder out of operation so long as the engine was operating above a set speed, typically by holding the exhaust valve open.
