ECU remapping, also known as chip tuning or engine remapping, rewrites your car’s factory software to safely unlock more power and torque. As an authorised RS-Tronic dealer in Brisbane, we tune Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Volkswagen to dyno developed, warranty backed calibrations.
RS-Tronic ECU Tuning Brisbane, Authorised Dealer
Engine remapping, ECU remapping, chip tuning. These are all different terms used to describe the process of changing the fuel, ignition and boost characteristics to optimise power and torque in any modern fuel injected vehicle whether it be petrol or diesel.
These changes are different for each vehicle type and as such each model has to be optimised individually as part of our wider performance upgrades service.
Every single optimization offered by RS-TRONIC has been developed using a dyno. You will benefit from a tuning solution that has been thoroughly tested before being released to market.
RS-Tronic tuning warranty and back-to-stock option
We offer a 3 year warranty on the remapping as well as a back to stock option in case you are selling the vehicle.
We guarantee a power and torque increase after remapping. If you’re weighing up how a tune affects your vehicle’s factory warranty, Australian consumer law protects your right to choose an independent specialist without voiding cover, provided servicing meets manufacturer specifications.
Is RS-Tronic ECU tuning safe for your engine?
All of the tuning offered by RS-TRONIC respects the limits of the factory components whether it is for the engine or the transmission. We like to inspect all vehicles before upgrading them to make sure they are in good mechanical condition.
How long does RS-Tronic ECU tuning take?
The complete process of an RS-TRONIC remapping typically takes around 2 hours. On the odd occasion we may have to extract a file and wait overnight. Usually this only happens on the less common vehicles.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does RS-Tronic ECU tuning cost?
The cost depends on your make, model and engine, since each vehicle is optimised individually. We provide a clear quote before any work begins, so you know exactly what your tune will cost. We can also talk you through the expected power and torque gains for your specific vehicle.
How much power will ECU tuning add?
Power and torque gains depend on your engine, whether it is petrol or diesel, and whether it is turbocharged. Turbocharged engines usually see the largest improvements. Every RS-Tronic tune is developed on a dyno and guaranteed to increase power and torque, and we can give you an indication of the expected figures for your car beforehand.
Does ECU remapping increase fuel consumption?
Not necessarily. A well developed tune optimises fuel, ignition and boost, and many drivers see similar or improved economy under normal driving. Fuel use will only rise if you regularly use the extra performance, as with any car.
Can you tune diesel engines?
Yes. RS-Tronic remapping works on both petrol and diesel engines, optimising fuel, ignition and boost within the limits of your factory components. Diesel engines often respond well to tuning with strong torque gains.
