Tuning Renault Sport vehicles for optimum power and economy

By Shaun Sporter


Many vehicle owners do not know that the engine calibration and software running their Renault Sport cars ECU's are mostly not tailored to their country, atmospheric conditions and fuel quality, which results in cars underperforming, operating less economically or even damaging engines and components.

Vehicles today are highly tuned for factory configurations and any alterations in components, such as vehicle upgrades or performance improvements usually result in throwing off and confusing the electronic systems.

A lot of people are not aware that the engine calibration and software running their Renault Sport cars ECU's are mostly not customized to their geographic location, atmospheric conditions and fuel quality, which results in vehicles underperforming, running less economically or even damaging engines and components.

This process is mostly referred to as ECU remapping or ECU tuning. Tuning does not involve any actual alterations to your vehicle. Most Renault Sport vehicles can have their engine calibrations changed and uploaded via an OBD port, which interfaces with the vehicles control unit.

ECU tuning does not involve any physical changes to your car. No mechanical skills are necessary. Renault Sport cars can have their engine tuning updated and modified via an OBD port, which connects directly with the cars on-board computer and the software running the vehicle.

Most performance remapping enhancements will also improve the vehicles overall petrol economy, which means your custom tuning, will pay for itself in the time to come. Your engine will also be operating more smoothly resulting in less wear and tear and a longer lifetime for your car.

More competent tuners will provide bespoke services while others will provide stock performance maps, which offer a great enhancement over the factory default. Calibration is a cheap way to put in new life into a dated car. Since the process can be completely undone you run no risk to yourself or your vehicle. There are numerous competent tuning services available.
