Tuned at JF Automotive, MaidstoneDecember 2016Figures from our dyno data

We remap Bentleys at our own workshop in Maidstone: the W12 and V8 Continental GT, the Flying Spur and the Bentayga. These are heavy, very fast cars with a lot of engine, and the honest position is that the gain is about drivability as much as peak power. Every file is written for the specific car and proven on our Mustang AWD rolling road rated to 2000bhp, with your original file kept so it can go back to standard.

JF Automotive – a Kent UK based company have become market leaders for ECU re-calibration for more power and enhanced fuel efficiency. Calibrating software to the highest level requires passion and enthusiasm and we strive to impart this into your vehicle to deliver a fulfilling sensation every time you drive.

Bentley Engine ECU Remapping

Bentley ECU Remapping will offer great power and fuel economy enhancements , however as with most vehicles the peak power gains are only half the benefit. You will also find power delivery earlier in the rev range due to additional low down torque and sharper throttle response along with vast improvements to mid-range torque providing a wider power band.

Bentley Gearbox TCU Remapping.

If your Bentley is fitted with an automatic or semi automatic transmission we can perform a gearbox remap in additional to the engine remap. A gearbox remap for your Bentley will offer faster gear shift speeds, smoother shifts, faster reaction to paddle shift inputs and improved mid range torque by releasing torque limiters. Transmission lock is also improved giving a faster response during acceleration and assisting with kick down at low speeds.

Bentley Dyno Tuning

Our purpose built research and development facility houses out very own Mustang AWD 2000BHP linked dyno. This allows us to accurately measure every parameter we adjust making sure a tune is every bit as safe as it it powerful. When booking your Bentley ECU remap, book a set of dyno runs to see a full print out of power before and after the tuning.

Bentley Performance Exhaust System

We have a range of exhaust systems available for your Bentley including Milltek, Remus, Capristo, Akrapovič and many more. Just ask us for a quotation.

Questions we get asked

Can you remap a Bentley?

Yes. We work on the Continental GT in W12 and V8 form, the Flying Spur and the Bentayga. Send us the registration and we will tell you which ECU your car has and what is realistically available for it.

How much power will it gain?

It depends heavily on the engine and how close the factory already runs it to the platform ceiling. On the twin-turbo cars there is meaningful headroom; the answer for your exact car comes from us, not from a table, and we will give it to you before you book.

Is it worth it on a car that is already fast?

The peak figure is not usually the point on a Bentley. What owners notice is the throttle response and the way the car gathers speed in the mid range without the gearbox hunting. If you want a number to quote at people, we will be honest about how much of one there is.

Will it affect the gearbox?

These use the ZF 8HP automatic, which has its own torque limiter and its own shift calibration. Tuning it alongside the engine keeps the shifts in step with the extra torque, and we would usually recommend doing both.

Is it reversible?

Completely. We keep your original file and can write it back at any point, which is what people do before a main dealer visit. A dealer can detect a remap and may decline a related warranty claim.

Where do I take it?

Maidstone, Kent. Please book rather than turn up: a car like this takes a bay for a while and we would rather do it properly than fit it around other work.
