Custom Remaps in Nottingham: Tuning for Maximum Performance

Not all cars are the same. So why settle for a generic remap?

At Remaps Nottingham, we offer fully custom remaps designed to match your exact vehicle, driving style, and performance goals. Whether you’ve upgraded your hardware, want something tailored for towing, or simply want a tune that feels just right, a custom ECU remap is the way to go.

This isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution. It’s precision tuning, built around you.

Here’s everything you need to know.

What Is a Custom Remap?

A custom remap is a completely personalised engine tune.

Instead of flashing your ECU with a pre-made file downloaded off the internet, we create a map that’s built specifically for your vehicle.

We take into account:

• Engine condition and mileage
• Any hardware upgrades (like intake, exhaust, intercooler, turbo)
• Your fuel type (Shell V-Power vs supermarket fuel)
• Your driving habits (daily commuting, towing, track days, etc)
• Gearbox type (manual, automatic, DSG)

We tune the software line by line, ensuring every adjustment is safe, efficient, and purposeful.

The result? A vehicle that performs better—not just on paper, but in real-world driving.

Why Choose a Custom Remap?

1. Performance Matched to Your Car

Two identical cars off the production line can behave very differently once they’ve been driven for a few years.

A custom remap ensures your specific engine, not just the model range, is tuned correctly. We adapt your map based on sensor feedback, engine wear, and vehicle history.

2. Safe Gains from Aftermarket Parts

If you’ve upgraded your car’s parts—such as turbochargers, fuel systems, or intercoolers—you need a remap that knows how to handle them.

A generic Stage 1 map won’t do.

We create a tune that works with your hardware. That means reliable power gains, improved longevity, and no warning lights.

3. Custom Torque Delivery

Some drivers want maximum power up top. Others want low-end grunt for towing or off-road use.

With a custom remap, we can change:

• Where the torque comes in
• How aggressively the throttle responds
• How smoothly the power builds

No more one-size-fits-all. You get exactly what you need.

4. Extra Features

Custom tuning can also unlock specialist functions, including:

• Launch control
• Flat-foot shifting
• Rev limit adjustments
• Pop and bang maps (track use only)
• Gearbox tuning (for DSG or automatic cars)

We’ll only add these if you request them—and if they’re safe for your setup.

Who Is It For?

Custom remapping is ideal for:

• Modified vehicles with upgraded hardware
• Performance builds aiming for big horsepower gains
• Towing vehicles that need strong low-end torque
• Drivers who’ve outgrown generic remaps
• Petrol or diesel engines with unique performance goals

Whether you’re building a show car, a sleeper diesel, or just want the perfect tune for daily driving—we’ll build a map around your needs.

How Long Does a Custom Remap Take?

Because of the extra testing and refinement, custom remaps take longer than standard tunes.

Typical time:

• 2 to 3 hours for lightly modified vehicles
• 3 to 5+ hours for Stage 3 or heavily modified setups
• Multiple sessions for advanced track cars or high-horsepower builds

We’ll always explain the time needed before you book. Some setups may even benefit from live data logging or return visits for further tweaks.

What’s the Process?

Here’s how we handle custom remaps at Remaps Nottingham:

1. Consultation

We start with a conversation about your car and what you’re looking to achieve. Whether it’s better MPG or max power, we tailor everything to your needs.

2. Diagnostics

We scan your ECU, check for faults, and confirm everything is running smoothly before we start.

3. ECU Access

We read your current map file—either through the OBD port or by bench-tuning if required.

4. Custom Tuning

We create a bespoke tune based on your ECU data, hardware setup, and driving goals. This isn’t a downloaded file—it’s built for your car alone.

5. Testing & Fine-Tuning

We install the new file and run road tests to make sure everything works perfectly. For advanced builds, we may log boost, AFR, timing, and torque under load for refinements.

6. Backup & Aftercare

We save your original file and offer support if you want tweaks or reversion later on.

How Much Does a Custom Remap Cost?

Custom remap pricing depends on the complexity of your build and the level of tuning required:

• Stage 1 Custom Remap – from £250
• Stage 2 Custom Remap – £300 to £350
• Stage 3 Custom Remap – £350 to £650+

These prices include diagnostics, ECU backup, and full support after the remap.

We’ll give you a clear quote upfront—no hidden costs, no pressure selling.
