If you are considering a Remap on your vehicle, it is natural that one of your main concerns is the time it will take to complete the process.
After all, time is a valuable resource, and we want to ensure that the service is done efficiently, as well as of high quality. In this article, we will explore in detail how long it takes to do a Remap and what factors can influence this duration.
What is Remap?
Firstly, before we go into the duration of the process, it is important to understand What is Remap. Remap, also known as electronic injection reprogramming or ECU (Electronic Control Unit) reprogramming.
This is a procedure that involves modifying the software that controls the operation of a vehicle's engine. This modification aims to improve the vehicle's performance, increasing power, torque and even fuel consumption efficiency.
Process Duration
The length of the Remap process can vary depending on several factors, including the type of vehicle, the complexity of the original software, the type of Remap desired, and the experience of the technician performing the service. In general, the Remap process can take anywhere from 30 minutes to 4 hours to complete.
Diagnostic and Preparation Stage
Before starting Remap, the technician will perform a series of diagnostic steps to assess the condition of the vehicle and identify possible problems or limitations that could affect the process. This may include checking for error codes, analyzing engine parameters, and performing performance tests.
Here in Strike Brasil we have a standard checklist for the entire network. This will be carried out to verify that the vehicle is in good condition and capable of receiving our software. In just a few minutes, our remap specialists can evaluate your vehicle.
Remap Stage 1 Completion Time
Once the vehicle has been diagnosed and prepared, the technician will proceed with the remap service itself. This process involves connecting a computer to the vehicle's ECU and updating the software to the desired specifications.
Remap Stage 1 is the preparation of vehicles carried out via software updates, that is, there are no mechanical changes. Each vehicle has its own peculiarities when performing the remap, which can make the process more complex and slower than others. This step takes on average 45 minutes, but in more complex cases it can arrive in a few hours.
Remap Stage 2 completion time onwards
In addition to the complexity of the original software, the remap time depends on the type of Stage chosen. This is because from Stage 2 onwards, the remap goes beyond software updates, also involving changes to mechanical parts.
Stage 2 is a service offered to those looking to get even more power from their vehicle, now with some small interventions in the mechanical part. In the case of diesel vehicles, Stage 2 includes DPF and EGR troubleshooting services, which provide more power and torque.
Furthermore, we have reports from customers that when carrying out Remap Stage 1 and Stage 2, improvements in fuel economy and drivability were also identified.
As it depends on parts replacement, the time for Remap Stage 2, Stage 3 and other higher Stages will depend on which parts will be replaced, the installation time and their availability. To do this, we must add the time taken to update the Software, purchase and replace the necessary parts.
Depending on the complexity of the part, it may take a few hours or even days to safely disassemble and assemble the new vehicle components. For this reason, it is difficult to specify an average reprogramming time from Stage 2.
However, you can ask our experts directly via WhatsApp an estimated time for your vehicle to receive remap Stage 2 or higher.
Tests and Adjustments
After the Remap is complete, the technician will perform a series of tests to ensure that the modified software is working correctly and that the vehicle is operating within the desired parameters.
This may include on-road performance testing, emissions testing, and fine-tuning the software when necessary. Results tests can be measured with dynamometer ou Dragy GPS and the results come out in just a few minutes.

Great results in a matter of minutes
In summary, the time required to complete a Remap can vary depending on several factors, but in general, it can be completed in an average of 45 minutes. It is important to choose an experienced and reliable technician to carry out the service, thus ensuring that the Remap is carried out safely and effectively.
Scheduling your remap also helps you organize your time, reducing the time you will need to spend without your vehicle. In the case of agricultural machinery, Remap Stage 1 already offers surprising results, with generally less than an hour of machine downtime.
By investing in Remap, you can enjoy a significant increase in your vehicle's performance and efficiency, making it a worthy choice for any automotive enthusiast.
