There is a common misconception that ECU remapping is only for performance enthusiasts looking to shave seconds off their 0-60 time. While the power gains are certainly impressive, a Viezu remap at RJ Curling is often sought after for a completely different reason: fuel economy.
Manufacturers set up engine software to work globally, accounting for poor fuel quality in some countries or extreme temperature variances. In the UK, we can “tune” these settings to be much more precise. By optimising the fuel injection and ignition timing, we can increase the torque of your engine. This means you don’t have to change gears as often and can maintain cruising speeds with less throttle input. For high-mileage drivers, the remap often pays for itself in fuel savings within the first year.
