Re-maps / ECUTEK
ECUTEK for Subaru & Mitsubishi
ECUTEK recalibrates the factory ECU. Once a licence is flashed to the onboard ECU, it can be tuned to virtually any engine configuration: exhaust, intake, turbos and more.

RaceROM is here
Motorsport features, factory refinement
RaceROM is a suite of feature enhancements for OEM ECUs tuned with EcuTek tools, offering increased tuning and driving capabilities, initially for Subaru electronic throttle (drive-by-wire) ECUs.
The OEM ECU offers the best cold start, driveability and refinement compared with aftermarket hardware, but aftermarket ECUs offer the motorsport features enthusiasts want. Replace the standard ECU and you usually lose the refinement. RaceROM removes that compromise: a software upgrade to the standard ECU that adds custom calibration options beyond standard fuelling, ignition and boost control, while keeping its driveability, sophistication and fuel economy.
Due to space constraints in some ECUs, not every feature is available on every vehicle, but all features are available on the majority. 153 Subaru ECUs are supported.

Mitsubishi diesel remaps
Developed in-house, through the diagnostic socket
All our diesel remaps are developed by us on our 4WD Dyno Dynamics rolling road and completed through the diagnostic socket. We do not remove the ECU. This is not a plug-in module but a full recalibration of the vehicle's ECU.
| Engine and vehicle | Original power / torque | Remapped power / torque |
|---|---|---|
| Mitsubishi ASX 1.8 MIVEC DID | 147 BHP / 220 lb ft | 180 to 185 BHP / 270 to 280 lb ft |
| Mitsubishi Outlander 2.2 MIVEC DID | 174 BHP / 280 lb ft | In development (coming soon) |
| Mitsubishi L200 2.5 DID (2006 to 2009), with EGR valve delete | 134 BHP / 231 lb ft | 175 to 185 BHP / 300 to 315 lb ft |
| Mitsubishi L200 2.5 DID 175 BHP (2009 on), with EGR valve delete | 175 BHP / 290 lb ft | 210 to 216 BHP / 340 to 350 lb ft |
| Mitsubishi Shogun 3.2 DID | 160 BHP / 296 lb ft | 190 to 200 BHP / 330 to 340 lb ft |
| Mitsubishi Shogun 3.2 DID 197 BHP (2011 on) | 197 BHP / 325 lb ft | 240 to 250 BHP / 365 to 375 lb ft |
Typical gains as published. Eligible: L200 and Triton 2.5 DID, Shogun and Pajero 3.2 DID, ASX 1.8 MIVEC DID, Outlander 2.2 MIVEC DID (coming soon), all common rail.
Case study: tuning box v full custom remap
Mitsubishi L200 Animal, 2.5, 2007 (quoted 163 BHP)
A tuning box (also called a smoke box or plug-in module) plugs into the wiring harness, intercepts signals from the ECU to part of the fuel system and tricks it into increasing fuel pressure. It is a very crude method, and it is what Mitsubishi supply as their performance upgrade on the 2.5 and 3.2 diesels.
On our dyno the factory module proved very inconsistent: back to back runs varied from as low as 112 BHP up to 164.8 BHP, at times below a standard vehicle. With the module removed, the vehicle made the same power every run, 142 BHP. Then came the ECUTEK remap.
Why ECUTEK
Advantages over aftermarket ECUs and piggyback chips
- Keep complex preset maps such as cold start, ignition learning and idle control
- Safety maps, sensor checks and limp-home modes stay in place to help prevent serious engine damage
- Customise the maps for exactly what you need: never settle for stock maps
- Reduce the risk of damage from false sensor input or boost clamps
- Completely non-invasive: no chips soldered onto the board
- No extra hardware to package with the car
