To carry out this work, a reprogrammer is used. It is the most convenient and very easy method to do. It is through a computer connected to the car, the original file is read and the reprogrammed file is recorded. It is completely undetectable (that is, the vehicle does not lose the warranty) and nothing needs to be dismantled from the vehicle.
HOW IT IS PERFORMED:
Basically they are
the following steps:
1.The reprogrammed
software is installed on the laptop or PC.
2.Place the switch
in the “ON” position (without turning on the engine).
3.The language is
chosen.
4.We select the
brand of the vehicle.
5.The driver or
controller of the vehicle's ECU is selected.
6.The following
steps are indicated by the program on the screen consecutively and simply.
7.The reload or
reschedule bar is expected to be loaded or filled.
8.Close the switch
to the “off” position and wait a few seconds.
9.The engine starts.
10.And voila, it
really is a very simple procedure.
A BRIEF EXPLANATION OF THE IMPROVEMENT OF THE CAR AFTER PERFORMING
REPROGRAMMING.
Atmospheric Automobiles
The restructuring carried out in the on-board ECU adds up to 10%
more power. Other annoying characteristics such as hesitation and poor throttle
responses, which can occur in electronically controlled cars, are eliminated,
making the car zippier and more responsive. This makes city driving a pleasure,
reducing the need to change gears with smoother, more progressive engine
response.
Turbo Automobiles
Impressive gains of up to 25% more power and torque are obtained.
Increase driving pleasure by slowing down the gear changes and you will feel
that your car has more verve and responsiveness.
This is achieved by increasing the manufacturer's power limit.
Long-term engine reliability is maintained as the reprogrammed ECU matches the
car's ignition timing and fuel input.
Diesel Turbo Powered Automobiles
The reprogramming carried out in the ECU matches the fuel supply
with the boost pressure, obtaining up to 30% more torque and more power.
This adds to the driving pleasure by reducing the need to change
gears, making your car quicker and more responsive. There is also the
possibility of improving fuel economy.
Benefits of using a Reprogramming.
An engine that responds faster increases acceleration for safer
overtaking. Depending on the type of engine and the factory software, the
increase in power is between 10 and 35%. Reduction in fuel consumption (under
the same conditions of use).
Reprogramming guarantee, the car will give the same information
with the official diagnostic tools as if it were original. That is, the car is
reprogrammed as the manufacturer does and no error is generated in the fault
memory.
In most vehicles, the reading and writing procedure is via the OBD
II diagnostic connector.
THESE ARE SOME POSSIBLE QUESTIONS AND THEIR ANSWERS WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT MAKING A REPRO FOR YOUR CAR:
HOW MUCH CAN YOU INCREASE THE MAXIMUM SPEED?
The increase in maximum speed is between 5-20km/h, depending on the
vehicle and the type of modification.
A Repro is not intended to run more, but rather to accelerate faster.
AT WHAT REGIME IS THE INCREASE IN POWER NOTICED?
The electronic modification is designed to obtain a power gain in
all regimes. From this it turns out that at lower revolutions you will have a
more immediate and efficient response, due to the increase in engine torque.
Consequently, it will provide you with greater driving comfort, especially at
low and medium speeds.
DOES ENGINE WEAR ALSO INCREASE?
The engine's safety reserves are so high that under the same
driving conditions, the increase in engine wear is imperceptible.
WHY DOES THE MANUFACTURER NOT PROVIDE ALL THE POWER AVAILABLE AS STANDARD?
Many times these are commercial decisions to sell superior engines.
A clear case is the 1.9TDIPD engine from the VW group of 100, 101, 105 hp, it
is an engine that works and has worked perfectly in official powers of
130-150-160 hp, but that power would compete with the new 2.0 TDI model 140 hp.
Therefore they "capture" the power of that engine via software.
There is another technical reason: when a diesel engine is put on
the market, a Standard safety reserve is left for the following reasons: use of
unrefined diesel, non-compliance with engine maintenance and inspections, etc.
Proper maintenance and the use of good fuel would allow greater powers, but
manufacturers adapt to all types of users.
IS THE MODIFICATION DETECTED IN A REVIEW?
The diagnostic devices used in dealerships do not detect software
modifications. Therefore, it is not necessary to return the vehicle to its
original condition before taking it for inspection.
HOW LONG DOES THE INSTALLATION TAKE?
A few minutes, once the modified file is available.
IS THE MODIFICATION IRREVERSIBLE?
No. You can request that the original cartography of your vehicle
be delivered to you on CD, so there is the possibility of reestablishing the
standard configuration at any time.
DOES FUEL CONSUMPTION INCREASE?
Under the same driving conditions, consumption is maintained or
even reduced. (Approximately -0.5 liter/100). If you make the most of the new
power acquired, you can count on a slight increase in fuel consumption.
WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES A REPRO MAKE TO A POWER CHIP?
Reprogramming does not modify or add anything physically to the
engine. Besides, with an added chip you only act on the injection increase, on
a Repro. It acts in a balanced way on many more engine parameters, achieving,
in addition to greater power, a reduction in consumption that cannot be
achieved with a chip.
