ModuleMap

ModuleMap

Torqit’s ModuleMap is an ultra-fast and powerful ECU programming solution which remotely calibrates and optimises your vehicle’s factory settings.

The adjustable settings of Torqit’s ModuleMap are based on the factory parameters of your vehicle and then enhanced to suit each vehicle platform. The increase in power and torque is instantly noticeable, particularly when towing a caravan, boat or trailer.

The versatile ModuleMap allows you to store three map tunes, including the standard tune of your vehicle. This means your vehicle can be returned to stock or optimised for increased performance at any time. The power is in your hands.

Toyota LandCruiser on dyno test with Torqit ModuleMap tuning equipment in workshop

Why is a dyno not required?

ModuleMap tunes your vehicle remotely instead of on a dyno. Here’s how…

Firstly, dynamometer (dyno) testing is essential to tuning a vehicle. A dyno simulates a road and allows your vehicle’s performance to be measured and optimised in a controlled environment. This is why we initially develop and extensively stress-test ALL Torqit tunes on our dyno. These tests include vehicles with modifications such as aftermarket turbos and snorkels and take approximately 20 hours of R&D plus additional road testing.

After this extensive testing, Torqit’s tuners have an accurate performance ‘baseline’ specific to each vehicle. We calibrate and develop a tune customised to your vehicle’s modifications from this baseline. So rest assured with ModuleMap, you’re getting optimum performance backed by extensive testing and reliable results.

ECU remapping vs. ModuleMap

In principle, a remap and ModuleMap offer a very similar solution. Both alter the parameters within the ECU to optimise the vehicle’s performance. However, there are also significant differences between them.

‘Cowboy Tuners’

This term is often talked about in the remapping industry. It refers to workshops that offer a remap but push the limits on every parameter, raising the risk of negatively impacting your vehicle. In comparison, the ModuleMap is live-tuned by highly qualified vehicle software technicians that ensure the software provided will give you a safe and reliable increase in performance, without pushing your vehicle beyond its limits.

At-Home Installation

Unlike a remap, the ModuleMap can be completed in the comfort of your home (as long as you have a laptop or computer) in under 30 minutes. That means that you don’t have to be left without your vehicle for a day or more. To install the unit, simply plug the ModuleMap into your vehicles OBDII port, and follow all on-screen prompts.  The ModuleMap will prompt you through every stage of the reading and writing stages to successfully remap your vehicle.

Multiple Tunes

With a ModuleMap unit, a user has three options to choose between. This means you have greater flexibility with how you use your vehicle. The ModuleMap comes with three files including Standard, which is a copy of your vehicle’s original ECU for when you want to return to stock performance. You also have the choice of two increased performance settings: Cruise, ideal for everyday driving and towing, and Sport, which provides the most aggressive response for maximum power and torque. With a remap, only one tune is provided.

Return to Standard

Unlike a remap, the ModuleMap allows you to return your vehicle to standard at any time you like. A remap is a permanent install, there is no way to return your vehicle back to standard.

Understanding ECU Mapping

In essence, engine control unit remapping (ECU mapping) is the process whereby a vehicle’s stock settings, controlled by the ECU (electronic control unit), are modified and optimised. It allows for fine-tuning and altering various aspects of a vehicle’s performance to suit individual requirements and preferences. Some critical components of an ECU map include:

Optimising fuel injection

Stock vehicles must be able to perform in a predictable, even manner under a wide range of circumstances, but this ‘levelling out’ does not always equate to peak performance. Adjusting the fuel injection specifications (timing, duration, and pressure) allows the system to deliver fuel more efficiently, improving the following:

  • Combustion efficiency
  • Power output
  • Fuel economy

FAQs

How does ModuleMap ECU mapping improve vehicle performance?

As previously mentioned, an ECU map improves performance by fine-tuning and optimising individual parameters such as fuel injection and ignition timing. Some other products to consider for ever-greater enhancement include our Torqit Power Module Plus performance chip or electronic exhaust.

Is ECU mapping safe for my vehicle?

Although it should pose no problems, there is not much point in ECU remapping unless your vehicle is in excellent working order and can handle the changes. Get your vehicle thoroughly checked over first before commencing a ModuleMap ECU map, and consider additional improvements to further enhance performance, such as performance exhaust systems with stainless-steel parts, a Pedal Torq throttle controller, performance headers, a high-flow snorkel, or heavy-duty airbox.

  • You should remember that insurance companies must be informed about an ECU map and will likely deny any claim if you fail to disclose upgrades of this nature.

How long does the ECU mapping process take?

It typically takes one or two hours to install a ModuleMap ECU map unless connecting to the system is more complex, but even then, it should take no more than six hours.

Can ECU mapping be reversed if needed?

In most cases, professional ECU remapping can be reverted to the original factory version by overwriting the new software with the stock settings. However, capable technicians, especially those at dealerships, may be able to trace the modifications, and any warranty you have voided will not be restored.

Module Map - Frequently Asked Questions

Can I install Torqit’s ModuleMap remap myself?

Yes, the ModuleMap is designed for DIY installation. All you need is access to a laptop or computer with a USB port and internet connection, and Torqit will do the rest. Alternatively, you can find your nearest Torqit dealer to install it on your vehicle for you.

How does the ModuleMap remap work?

Your vehicle can be tuned from the comfort of your home, no visit to a tuning shop is required. You simply plug the device into the OBDII port on your vehicle, download information from the ECU, and send it to our software technicians. We then create custom files suited to the modifications on your vehicle, which you can then re-upload to your vehicle via the ModuleMap device.

How many modes/ tunes does the ModuleMap have?

The ModuleMap has two enhanced driving modes plus Standard mode. In total, you have access to three different tunes:

  • Cruise: Designed to improve everyday driving and ideal for towing heavy loads
  • Sport: The highest performance output for optimum power and torque
  • Standard: A copy of your vehicle’s stock ECU, so you can return your vehicle to stock performance when getting it serviced or swapping between drivers

Should I remap my vehicle, or install an engine chip?

An engine chip intercepts the data received and sent by the ECU. In comparison, a remap alters the actual ECU data. Each will differently impact the parameters of your vehicle. For more information on the difference between chipping and remapping, click here.

What are the risks of the ModuleMap remap?

Torqit does not endorse ‘cowboy tuning’, or pushing your vehicle beyond its limits. Great care has been taken to ensure the ModuleMap is 100% safe and reliable. The ModuleMap is live tuned by highly qualified vehicle software technicians, who gather all vehicle details such as tyre size, transmission, motor, fuel system, exhaust, kilometres, and more before tuning. The age, kilometres, and maintenance of a vehicle will all affect the outcome of the remap, which is why we highly recommend a vehicle health check beforehand.

Every element of your vehicle is taken into account before writing a safely enhanced file that is completely customised, and does not compromise your vehicle’s reliability.
This includes very clear and precise fitting instructions, which need to be followed exactly. It is also essential that a battery stabiliser is connected to your vehicle any time the ModuleMap is tuning the ECU.

What does the ModuleMap do?

Torqit’s ModuleMap allows us to remotely reprogram your vehicle’s ECU to create more power within the safety parameters of the vehicle. We can change any aspect, including fuel, boost, timing, and speed limiters for an instant increase in power, torque, and towing performance, without pushing your vehicle beyond its safety limits..
