Engine Mapping

Engine mapping is the process of fine-tuning a vehicle’s engine control unit (ECU) to optimize performance, fuel efficiency, and emissions. By adjusting parameters like fuel injection, ignition timing, and turbo boost levels, engineers create a “map” that dictates how the engine responds to different driving conditions. Think of it as customizing the engine’s “instructions” for different scenarios, ensuring it runs smoothly and efficiently. This process often involves computer software and sensors to monitor engine behavior, allowing precise adjustments that enhance overall vehicle performance without replacing hardware parts.
