The Pros and Cons of Stage 1 ECU Tuning
1 Answers
The pros and cons of Stage 1 ECU tuning are as follows: 1. Cons: Stage 1 ECU tuning may easily cause the car's computer board to crash, leading to potential safety hazards. Stage 1 ECU tuning is also known as ECU upgrade, car computer upgrade, or ECU modification, but the correct technical term is ECU remapping. It refers to improving performance by altering ECU software parameters without changing the hardware. This modification is the least costly and ensures the hardware remains within redundancy limits. Specific parameter adjustments include fuel injection or ignition timing, but the results are often not ideal. Blindly increasing power may extend braking distances, creating safety risks. 2. Pros: There is a certain improvement in power output.
