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 ...
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.
In February 2019, Jaguar Land Rover announced their long-rumoured inline-6 engine. Instead of being a conventional engine, the new 3.0 L petrol inline-6 motor is combined with a 48 volt electric architecture to support an electric supercharger, belt starter-generator and extended engine shut offs while coasting and/or while stopped in traffic ...
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.
Mean effective pressure is also useful for initial design calculations; that is, given a torque, standard MEP values can be used to estimate the required engine displacement. However, mean effective pressure does not reflect the actual pressures inside an individual combustion chamber – although the two are certainly related – and serves ...
Total cost of ownership (TCO) is a financial estimate intended to help buyers and owners determine the direct and indirect costs of a product or service. It is a management accounting concept that can be used in full cost accounting or even ecological economics where it includes social costs .
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.
