cost of remaps in programmable ecu after intitial mapping?
For those of you with programmable ecus, autronics, motec, gems, power fc...once you pay the initial mapping fees to your mapper, what are you being charged for say, if you change the turbo or injectors or cams? or something else that requires some remapping?? just interested in charges, not really who charges what.

Should be getting mine done soon and asked the same question.
Was told for a major change like a Turbo + headers etc about £350, but for something small just labour (about an hour)

We charge £125 inc vat for a remap. That gets you unlimited time on the day. Tweaks are usually for free as long as I have the time ie checking fueling after an induction change or something minor.

Motec, yes same applies for any ecu upgrade we supply and map, thats the key point, yup had to focus on that car as I had invested alot of time in it up to that point, worth saying that although we ran a few practice launches on Friday pm we ended up deystroying the front drive shafts so had to curtail, fortunately the uprated replacements stood up to the abuse on the day !!

Hi Bob,
When you say remap do you mean a remap on what you have done in the past or a remap from somebody else's map....as an example if i had ECUTEK3 and it was mapped by someone else and then i wanted a remap
from you......

good question this one however I think I know the answer sort of.
If you get you car mapped by A at say £650 including the licence and then ask b to re-map it he probably wont charge £650 as the licence to open the ecu up has been paid he may however charge £300-400 to remap it as HE then knows the map subsequent maps might be £100 ish.
sort of
Bob am I that far away?

i think this is clear but just in case.
£125 is only if we have originally mapped the car, its not a money spinner as quite often these tweaks take as long as the originalo map.
It matters not wether the ecu has had a TEk 1,2 or 3, the licence is the same for all, a remap of an ecu that has previously been mapped by another is £350 plus vat as stated, not faair to try and charge full price. Once that has been done then the £125 applies for the future.
Its important for people to appreciate that a different tuner has no access to the original maps in the ecu, even his own are only known by virtue that he put them there, in other words we cannot download whats there and modify it so it's always starting from scratch unless mapped by the same tuner to start. That doesn't bother me as I always prefer to start with my own base maps in any case even with Link/Motec/Gems.
For those who have mailed or pm'd bear with me I have been burning the midnight oil in the run up to TOTB and have a backlog of mails to deal with, pm's I try and answer but, to be honest, its not my preferred means of communication so please use email for preference otherwise I lose the history and that means things get lost as 25 stored mails can be a couple of hours worth !!!
Email as quoted is best.
cheers
