Hello everyone! I remap cars.

[VW-A-Specialist]

Hey all. Just thought I'd pop in here and introduce myself.

My names Craig Corish, I specialize in remapping of cars. We can do over 1500 ECU's. £350 per car, bring 4 or more cars and get each car for £275 all in. Absolutely fantastic on the Turbo Diesel cars. Big differences.

So, thats me. See you around the forum.

Craig.

Hi Welcome to the site.

I did get your email, just been very busy... I will turn a blind eye to the "advert" you have put on the site, although I may be in touch soon, we are in negotiations with all our advertisers to contribute financially to the site... ;)

I will be in touch via PM soon.

aside from the above things that Stu's mentioned.... (no offence intended here, but...) how come you charge £350 per car? is this a rolling road custom remapping service or is it a generic flash map?:Blush2:

p.s welcome to the forum

We extract a file out of your car, have it remapped for you, and then insert it back into car.. £350 isn't dear it is a reasonable price, How ever, petrol tuning is £300.

[Sam]

£350 for a Diesel, £300 for a petrol correct?

Are you custom remapping or are you using the generic maps most tuners use?

Is it a rolling road remap?

What remap - ie from which company - are you supplying?

[cbrpaul]

welcome to the site m8 !!


I was thinking , how can it be a custom map to your specific car if the current map is removed , upgraded externally and then put back in again ,

This doesnt take into account alot of the cars own characteristics ,


correct me if im wrong though

[golf tdi 02]

are the flashers bad for your car ?

[VW-A-Specialist]

Remapping: £225 - £800

Thats from ChippedUK site.. Notice how it caries from £225 - £800, yes eight hundred..

Now most common for us is the Turbo Diesels. heres our price list

N/A Petrol/Diesel £250
Turbo Petrol, £300
Turbo Diesel, £350

"Why?" you ask.. Its the fact that BHP and Torque gains are different between N/A cars Turbo Diesels and Turbo Petrols..

Thank you.

[VanWheeler]

Prices are based on customers requirements and the car.

I'm currently in the process of learning how to remap my self. (Using our own ECU's in our own cars not customers cars)

At the moment I use someone who can remap the files via the internet.

We don't have a rolling road as of yet. Maybe sometime in the near future if things get going well.

Thank you.

Its a fact that tuning a petrol is far more work, just getting the fueiling correct can take many hours of work (in the initial writing of the software)

I cant comment myself on other peoples methods and pricing shoul dbe an issue as different people have different costs, for me i spend over £7000 a week just to open the front door of our workshop so of course there are substantion costs involved, then you have over £300,000 in equipment and software and £500,000 for the workshop.

I personally think £350 for a remap is a decent price, your paying for someones work and specialised field so of course there will always be a price to pay for this.
VW-A-Specialist probably have high costs also so must outlay these costs in the prices they charge so for £350 its a bargain.

I have spent 17 years programming back from the days of winbeta and code breaking so way before ecu`s where commonplace on cars, to make a decent diesel file i reckon would take from 9-12 months for a novice.

Whilst im here, here are a few pics of our new purpose built workshop, one of only 3 temperature controlled dyno cells in the UK.

That is one brilliant place you have there!

I have the software to edit the maps that come out of the cars, do you have any suggestions on what hardware to use (to get the file out of the car)

I have KWP2000, but it won't talk to the newer cars like Audi A3 2.0 TDI, etc.
Also have something else, but it encrypts the files, therefore can not be edited by me, only by the bloke who does them for me)

Thank you.

[Chipped UK LTD]

In all honesty this tool is very frowned upon in the tuning fraternity, its a clone tool stolen from the main protocol and has many problems, not least the inability to revert clock counters, recommunicate after error write and many more problems.

What software do you have to alter the binary files ?

I think if you want to do tuning you really need some better equipment, the £35 kwp2000 clone will cause you so many problems that you will end up with countless sleepless nights.

[onzarob]

If your charging £350 to send the files to someone else its over priced,

If your paying £350 to take your car to the garage with 17 year experence while they tune it to your requirments, that is worth every penny.

Chip I'm with you mate, else I'll go and buy a £35 kwp2000 and break my car myself;)

[VW-A-Specialist]

We can tune them to your requirements, its a thing called a phone, and I can talk to the bloke down the phone.. he tunes the files, not me. So think about what your trying to say.

How can it be 'overpriced' if your getting the same thing done?

I do not use KWP2000 for customers cars! I use something much dearer than '£35'

I have WinOLS.

I don't use KWP to remap cars, I have other hardware for this. KWP was just something we bought a while ago and never used it however used it once on our own vehicle Golf GT TDI-PD 115, went like the clappers after though as it came with 8000 already tuned files.

I'd like to know what the best hardware is I don't really trust the KWP2000 anyway.

and Sorry to onza for my last post I hadn't realized this post was up making you think I was a cheap tack sort of chip tuner...

[onzarob]

No worries, I think I jumped a little off the deep end this morning, sounds like your comming from the right direction now.

I don't know the answer to this, but arn't the KWP pre configured files considered a liitle harsh on the engine, they work but arn't the best :dunno:

[VW-A-Specialist]

Probably, but as I said, it was our own car, wouldn't trust it on a customers car. We bought it intending to use it, then found some roumers about it so didnt use it.

Whats the recomended hardware to use?

Thank you in advance to any replies on this question

[Chipped UK LTD]

The best and most secure system on the market is OptiCan, this has full re-communication abilities, auto corrects checksumms and is constantly updated with new features.
This is what ChipNSpin use.

http://www.obdtuning.de/images/optican_dual_003.jpg

I guess you only have a trial copy of winOLS ?
That can easily cost in excess of 40,000 euro with all additions.

It is without doubt the most advanced software but takes many years to master the art of making good tuning files.

Even with the same software and hardware but different tuners the difference can be extreme.

For example, Performance Tuner magazine sent cars to 6 of the top tuners in the UK and did a set of tests, these included horsepower gains, speed test on the track and drivability.
They didnt tell us when they bought the car that they were testing us but the end result was that we won every catagory.

Im not saying that we make the best all the time, far from it, when we get a file we are not on first degree terms with we get it written by someone who is at our sister bases in Hamburg and Dresdan.

We also offer in house training at our HQ in Bromsgrove with training given by Jayson, Simon and Andreas.

[VW-A-Specialist]

Thankyou very much for this little piece of information..

I have the full WinOLS.

You offer training for what? The remapping of cars? How much for how long etc?

[Chipped UK LTD]

If you email me ill talk over some options.
Whats the liscence version your running ? and what checksumms do you have ?
