21 May 2021 | Admin  What is a battery support system you might be asking yourself? It is a simple device that connects onto the vehicles battery which makes sure the power does not drop below 12.6 volt during a remap. You will often get unknown mobile remappers that will charge you very little to remap your vehicle using unknown files with cloned tools from unknown sources, they will simply hope the vehicles battery will remain at 12 volt while they leave the ignition on. For example on some vehicles it can take over 40 mins to read an ECU. And when your flashing an ECU it is VERY important the battery voltage doesn't drop below 12 volt, if it does you can easily have a dead ECU on your hands. Meaning the vehicle won't start / will be immoiblised. |
19 May 2021 | Admin  If you’ve been looking in the local Lincolnshire area for a remap, you would have heard the terms like get a custom remap and not a generic map. But what is a custom remap? There is actually no such thing as a non custom remap. All ECU maps are customised to the car they are intended for and then tested on a dyno. As such all files from Avon Tuning LTD have been dyno tuned to your exact vehicle. Meaning providing you have a healthy engine you will be able to see the quoted gains in 99% of cases.
Some companies will tell you they are doing you "a custom map on the dyno" this is a massive smoke and mirrors sales tactic. In reality you are paying extra just for a dyno printout showing before and after figures using the same file you get from us Demon Maps and other reputable mobile remapping companies. This is due to most modern ECUs which can’t be adjusted whilst the vehicle is running. As such data logs on each dyno run are taken then the file is changed. The term ‘full custom map’ is based around standalone aftermarket ECUs which can only be adjusted live for example in a track day car. |
14 May 2021 | Admin  Own a BMW in the Lincolnshire area? we commonly remap BMW petrol and Diesel vehicles to completely change the way your BMW feels. Most common models we remap are the 1,2,3 and 4 series along with X5 and X6 models. These cars always have excellent gains and respond really well to a remap. If you own an Auto we would also highly recommend a ZF automatic gearbox remap to go alongside the Stage 1 tune, reason being is the increased speed of gear changes and responsiveness of the gearbox once tuned. |
