CHIPTUNING

Na Recuauto, o chiptuning ECU significa ajustar o software do motor do seu veículo para optimizar parâmetros como a injecção de combustível e o avanço à ignição. Realizamos estes ajustes com precisão para que o seu veículo consuma menos combustível — uma poupança média de cerca de 10%.

As principais vantagens são: mais potência e binário, menor consumo de combustível e uma melhor experiência de condução. Na Recuauto personalizamos cada chiptuning de acordo com as suas necessidades.

Sim. Optimizamos automóveis e carrinhas, camiões e veículos industriais, tractores e máquinas agrícolas, motas e barcos. Adaptamos o chiptuning a cada tipo de veículo, garantindo um chiptuning eficiente tanto para proprietários privados como para profissionais.

Sim, oferecemos a opção de incluir efeitos como pops and bangs, popcorn, chamas ou hardcut, sem comprometer a fiabilidade do motor. These effects are achieved by adjusting parameters such as fuel injection and ignition timing, without compromising engine reliability. We use professional software to ensure the effects are safe.

Absolutamente. A segurança é a prioridade na Recuauto. Utilizamos equipamento e software profissionais como WinOLS e Alientech, respeitando sempre os limites do motor. We also carry out thorough tests on our own in-house dyno to verify that the adjustments do not cause problems such as overheating.

Yes, without any issues. We design our remaps to comply with the legal emissions limits applicable in the vehicle's country of registration. Whether it is a car, van, truck, tractor, motorbike or boat, we ensure the adjustments allow the vehicle to pass the technical inspection without problems. For Stage 2 and Stage 3 we recommend consulting case by case.

Under Directive (EU) 2019/771 on warranties, the manufacturer cannot void the entire vehicle warranty solely because of a remap, unless they can prove the fault is directly related to the modification. At Recuauto we always keep a copy of the original software and can restore it if you need to take your vehicle to the dealership.

O processo de chiptuning demora geralmente algumas horas. Um carro ou mota fica pronto em 2–3 horas; um camião ou tractor pode demorar um pouco mais. At our workshop in Lleida we offer flexibility: you can bring your vehicle in or, if you prefer, we can collect it.

Not for Stage 1. Stage 1 remapping is designed to work with a completely standard engine. For Stage 2 and Stage 3 some mechanical modifications may be required (high-performance air filter, upgraded intercooler, etc.). We will advise you during the initial diagnosis.

Garantimos o nosso trabalho. Se surgir algum problema de software, revemos sem custo adicional. We always keep a copy of the original map so we can revert the changes at any time.

O preço depende do tipo e modelo de veículo. Automóveis/carrinhas: EcoStage a partir de €300, Stage 1 a partir de €300, Stage 2 a partir de €350, Stage 3 a partir de €700. Camiões: ECO a partir de €600, Stage 1 a partir de €700, Stage 2 a partir de €1.500. For fleets we offer competitive prices adapted to the number of vehicles.

It depends on the vehicle. Our standard remap typically increases performance by around 20% and reduces consumption by up to 10%. A sport remap delivers around 25% gain while maintaining fuel consumption. For naturally aspirated vehicles the power increase is around 10%. For targets above 25% we analyse each case individually. Check your specific model in our calculator.

Yes, especially in diesel vehicles. With more torque at low revs the engine needs fewer accelerations and works more efficiently. Real savings range from 5% to 20% depending on driving style. Mixed driving is where the difference is most noticeable.

Temos o nosso próprio dinamómetro em Alcoletge (Lleida). Todo o trabalho pode ser verificado no dinamómetro antes e depois do chiptuning. You can see the real data for your vehicle in the dyno report we provide with every service.
