Map optimisation

There are some good reasons why you should optimise your vehicle with a map optimisation (KFZ). First of all, this significantly increases engine performance and efficiency.

Secondly, it reduces fuel consumption and thirdly, it increases the service life of the engine. In addition, a KFZ also offers other advantages such as better acceleration, improved stability and handling, and increased safety.

Map optimisation is an effective way to improve engine performance while reducing fuel consumption. Map optimisation optimises the ignition timing of the engine and thus improves combustion.

At the same time, the torque increase is accelerated and the top speed is increased. Map optimisation is a cost-effective way to increase the performance of your vehicle – without making any technical changes to the engine.

Map optimisation is one way to reduce your car’s fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. By optimising the ignition timing and the injection duration, the engine is operated more efficiently and fewer exhaust gases are produced.

Map optimisation is a sensible investment in the environment and your wallet. Not only do the exhaust values improve, but fuel consumption is also reduced. With an annual mileage of 15,000 kilometres, this can save several hundred euros in fuel costs.

Map optimization is the optimization of the interaction between the engine, transmission, and chassis. The car is tested and adjusted on a test bench or in real driving conditions. For example, shift points can be changed, gears adjusted or the chassis adjusted.

Map optimisation can be carried out on new cars as well as on older models and usually has a positive influence on the performance, consumption and/or driving dynamics of the car.

Map optimisation is demanding because it is a very complex problem. There are many different factors that need to be taken into account to achieve an optimal result.

For example, exhaust emissions must be reduced without compromising performance or consumption. At the same time, the driving behaviour must remain as natural as possible. This is a big challenge because all these factors intertwine and interact with each other. Another challenge with map optimisation is that it is very time-consuming.

There are many different calculations and measurements that need to be carried out to find the optimum map. This can take weeks or even months. At the same time, the vehicle must still be able to drive while the optimisation is taking place. This means that the engineers have to work very carefully to ensure that no mistakes are made.

All these challenges make it difficult to find an optimal map. Therefore, it is important to consult experienced experts if you want to carry out map optimisation. They can help to understand the problem and find the best possible solution.

Map optimization and tuning box – are often mentioned in the same breath, but are two completely different ways of exploiting the potential of your engine. The map optimization is a software adjustment that is carried out directly in the engine’s control unit.

Tuning, on the other hand, is a physical device that is connected between the engine control unit and the engine.

The map optimisation has the following advantages: Vehicle manufacturers continue to guarantee the vehicle’s warranty period, as the optimisation is merely a software adjustment. A reset to the series software is possible at any time and free of charge.

This is necessary, for example, when the vehicle is inspected or changed. It is no longer necessary to replace the hardware (tuning box) if you wish to sell the vehicle or reverse the optimisation.

The durability of a car depends primarily on the quality of its components and maintenance. Although map optimisation can improve the engine’s performance, it has no direct influence on the car’s durability.

Map optimization is a technique that more and more people are using for their cars. It is mainly used to optimise the car’s engine and thus get significantly more power out of the car.

However, many people wonder whether this technology also works on older cars or whether it can only be used on new cars. The good news is: map optimisation can also be applied to older cars!

However, there are a few things to consider here. On the one hand, it should be borne in mind that older cars are often already more worn and therefore less efficient. On the other hand, you have to take into account that the engines of older cars are often no longer in as good shape as those of newer models.

Therefore, it is advisable to consult a mechanic or expert before applying map optimisation to ensure that optimising the engine will not have any negative consequences for the car.

Of course, for safety reasons, the vehicle is always written back to series settings by the new tuner and then read out again. After this, the customer’s wishes are implemented and the car is optimised.
