SUV / 4X4 Remapping Services

An SUV or 4x4 remap gives a heavy car the pulling power it should have had from new: stronger towing, easier overtaking and smoother acceleration, often with better fuel economy too. Whether you drive a performance SUV or a family 4x4, the map is written in-house for your car by a qualified motorsport engineer at our workshop in Dungarvan, Co. Waterford.

Why Remap an SUV?

SUVs are heavy, and they're often asked to tow a caravan, a horsebox or a trailer of timber. Torque is what moves that weight, and most SUV engines leave the factory with plenty more to give. A remap brings it in lower in the revs, so the car pulls in a higher gear without dropping down, and it feels lighter on its feet with a full load.

Every remap is custom to your engine and how you use the car, whether that's towing, school runs or the odd green lane. For pick-ups and SUVs used for work, see commercial van remapping too.

Measured on an All-Wheel-Drive Dyno

Many 4x4s can't be measured properly on a two-wheel-drive rolling road. Ours is in-house and all-wheel drive, so your SUV runs with every wheel driving, the way it does on the road. On our dyno we:

  • Measure and verify the gains in real time
  • Fine-tune the map for the best performance
  • Check temperatures and pressures stay safe
  • Confirm the fuel economy improvements
  • Test how the car drives under different conditions
