CARTRONIX

There is no hardware changed in your vehicle, all modern cars have an Engine Control Unit (ECU) or Bsi Unit, a computer which controls everything that happens in your engine including the ignition timing, how much fuel and air are mixed together, when the turbo kicks,tyre size, weight load etc.. All these settings are stored as maps within the ECU. We plug our equipment into your car’s ECU, read the maps that are already stored on it, use our software to find the optimal settings for your car, and then reprogram the ECU with our new, optimized maps (this is called remapping). The whole process takes between 15 minutes and an 2 hours, depending on your car’s ECU.

There is no risk to your vehicle.

Because all work carried out is localized entirely to the ECU, and is completely software based, there is only minimal risk to your car. In the unlikely even that something was to happen to your ECU during the process of remapping it the origional map can be restored.

We have absolute confidence that you’ll be amazed at how well your car performs after we have remapped it, however, if you are unsatisfied with the result, we will give you a full refund, and restore it’s original settings. There is no limit to the number of times you can remap a car, and we are always improving our optimization software, so further gains may be possible in the future.

Chipping is actually an older method of doing the same thing. Chipping involves physically removing the main microchip from the ECU, and replacing it with a modified chip. Because it involves opening the ECU, this process invariably invalidates your warranty. Our method means we can leave the ECU in place, and just put the new settings onto it. Remapping is far less dangerous than chipping, as we’re actually modifying your car’s existing map, rather than trying to make your car work with a generic map, which may or may not give it the optimal performance gains you are looking for.

By law, all new cars must have a dip in power in the engine map between 2000 – 3000RPM. The intention of this law was that it would reduce emissions, but in fact all it means is that people put their foot down more in this rev range to compensate for this dip, which of course actually increases emissions and wastes fuel.

Manufacturers also limit the performance of their cars so that they can release new, faster models at a later date – the only difference being the map stored on the engine. They will charge thousands of pounds for this “extra” performance that was there all along – we will charge a mere fraction of that price to unlock the true potential of your car!

We’ve noticed that vans seem to get amazing gains from our remapping process – this is for two reasons:

* Diesel engines (and especially turbo diesels) benefit far more from this process than petrol engines, as they usually have a wide variety of limiters in place, stopping your van from reaching it’s true potential.
* Remapping increases the torque of the engine, meaning that you’ll have more power when you need it when your van is fully loaded.

We’ve noticed pretty much equal gains between manual and automatic vehicles when using this process. In both cases, because of the increase in power, you’ll find either the car or you needs to shift gear less often, making for a much smoother drive all round.

Because an ECU can only store one map at a time, it’s very difficult to tell if a car has been remapped or not: There’s no original map stored on the car to compare against.

 

The CARTRONIX® CR3 Box Tuning senses and responds to changes in engine load/speed throughout the range of acceleration. With the CARTRONIX® CR3 Box Tuning pressure accumulates faster in the rail and is readily maintained to deliver more power and torque. The result is smooth and responsive acceleration that produces sportier handling. The increased torque produced by the CARTRONIX® CR3 Box Tuning enables the engine to operate more efficiently, so fuel consumption is minimized.

The CARTRONIX® CR3 Box Tuning is equipped with plugs that are compatible with those in your vehicle. With the instructions provided, an inexperienced driver can complete the installation in 5 minutes on most models. The CARTRONIX® CR3 Box Tuning will not override the safe operating parameters of your engine and does not change or interfere with ECU functioning.

The CARTRONIX® CR3 Box Tuning has an adjustment screw that has been pre-set to provide a modest improvement. However, most vehicles require a higher setting to achieve optimal power gains. The unit can be easily adjusted by using a small screw driver.
