Car Remapping and Performance Since 1989

Powerchips has been developing and delivering car remapping solutions since 1989. Every intervention is carried out on a dynamometer to precisely optimise engine parameters, in compliance with manufacturer specifications. The engine file is customised and remains undetectable during a standard diagnostic inspection.

Our optimisations comply with manufacturer standards, allowing us to offer a 5-year software guarantee on every intervention.

Powerchips Expertise in Engine Optimisation

We access the engine control unit (ECU) via an OBD interface to read and adapt the original file. The calibration is carried out to measure at our motorsport centre, or on-site as required. Engine optimisation improves torque, responsiveness and driving pleasure. Depending on the engine type and configuration, certain peripheral parameters may also be adjusted within the manufacturer's original tolerances.

4x4 Dynamometer Testing

All Powerchips optimisations are carried out manually by our engineers on a Rotronics 4x4 1200hp dynamometer. Our team brings together over 30 years of experience across all engine types. The dynamometer allows precise power measurement before and after each intervention, and enables map adjustments in conditions close to real driving, thanks to 60,000 m³/h ventilation.

Performance, Reliability and Fuel Efficiency

Powerchips is one of the leading car remapping centres in the UAE, with over 50,000 files tested on dynamometer (Bosch, Rotronics, Dyno). Our solutions cover petrol, diesel and hybrid engines, with a constant focus on controlled, reliable performance.


Car remapping by engine type

Petrol engine optimisation

Electronic optimisation dedicated to petrol engines, naturally aspirated or turbocharged, to improve power, responsiveness and driving pleasure.

Diesel engine optimisation

Precise diesel engine management calibration to increase low-rev torque, flexibility and efficiency, while preserving original reliability.

Hybrid engine optimisation

Targeted intervention on the electronic management of the combustion engine and hybrid system, for smoother driving and better-balanced performance.

Our remapping stages

Stage 1

Electronic optimisation of the ECU with no mechanical modification, ideal for improving performance while retaining the original configuration.

Stage 2

Advanced optimisation combining electronic calibration with specific mechanical modifications, designed for prepared vehicles.

Stage 3

Custom engine preparation incorporating major mechanical modifications and a bespoke map, reserved for demanding projects.


FAQ on car remapping

Why are there different stages?

Each stage corresponds to a level of engine preparation. Stage 1 is purely software-based. Stage 2 includes mechanical modifications. Stage 3 is reserved for track use.

What does car remapping involve?

We read and modify the original file of your electronic control unit (ECU), then reinsert it into the vehicle. The process takes an average of 3 hours.

How is power increased?

Engine parameters are adjusted: injection, turbo pressure, ignition timing… The engine is checked before and after dynamometer testing. The original file is saved in case a return to factory settings is needed.

What is an engine map?

It is the set of data that governs the engine. We act on injection, pressure, ignition timing and more. This allows us to optimise performance, fuel consumption and engine longevity.

What are the benefits of car remapping?

  • More power and torque: improved acceleration
  • Reduced fuel consumption: up to 10% savings
  • Smoother low-rev response: more fluid driving
  • Faster throttle response: more reactive acceleration

For a reliable intervention, trust a qualified professional like Powerchips.

What is chiptuning?

Chiptuning is an electronic remap performed via the engine control unit. It achieves notable gains in driving pleasure, fuel economy and performance without any mechanical changes.

Powerchips has been practising chiptuning since 1989. Our expertise comes directly from the world of motorsport.

Why choose a professional?

Car remapping is a technical operation. It must be carried out with expertise. Our tools and dynamometers guarantee safe, efficient and tested work.

The Powerchips Method: Dynamometer, Safety and Guarantees

Every Powerchips car remapping is based on a rigorous methodology developed since 1989, combining real-world measurements, compliance with manufacturer standards and long-term guarantees.

  • 4x4 Dynamometer
    All our interventions are performed with a dynamometer run to precisely measure performance before and after optimisation.
  • Systematic before/after measurements
    Measuring power and torque gains allows precise adjustment of the engine map and ensures a result consistent with the vehicle's mechanical capabilities.
  • Compliance with manufacturer standards
    Engine parameters are optimised within the ranges defined by the manufacturer, ensuring reliability, longevity and compliance with original technical requirements.
  • 5-year software guarantee
    Every remap benefits from a 5-year software guarantee, covering the engine file and allowing a return to factory settings if required.
  • Manufacturer tolerances respected
    Our approach prioritises an engine optimisation in strict compliance with manufacturer tolerances, to preserve engine safety and reliability.

Michel Abellan

A fast, efficient and professional car remapping intervention on my vehicle at stage 1+. I now have more power and torque with lower fuel consumption, which has completely transformed my vehicle.

Boisselier Cyril

Excellent experience, always exceeding my expectations. The team has remapped my R8 V10 Cabriolet, a Maserati Gran Turismo S, my Audi A6 and my 45 AMG — nothing to fault. They also travel to your home or you can visit their performance centre. A great experience, highly recommended.

Jean-François Kocher

Friendly welcome, fast service and guaranteed results. More torque, smoother engine response and above all a significant reduction in fuel consumption (15 to 20% depending on the type of journey). Thank you Powerchips.

Yves, Honda

I had my engine remapped at Powerchips. They optimised the cylinders, the DPF and the exhaust to increase power. The supercharger and gearbox were adjusted electronically. Their work on the airflow and dynamometer increased the torque and overall engine performance. A highly efficient engine tuning service.
