There are well documented concerns among owners of the 1.2 Non-turbo EU6 variant of this engine, particularly at low RPM when pulling away from a standstill or on an incline.

After significant research and development work, Superchips are proud to announce a conversion which addresses the throttle response issues on the Fiat 500 1.2 EU6 version, which enables a much smoother and easier driving experience..

There is also a modest power increase for such a small, non-turbocharged engine of 5 BHP at 4074RPM and 9Nm at 4132RPM. The power and torque curves represent gains at full throttle but road tests show that the improvements are even more noticeable at part-throttle driving, completely curing the issues experienced when pulling away or driving up an incline.

The conversion was featured in the Daily Star newspaper. You can read the article online by clicking here – https://www.dailystar.co.uk/motoring/cars/682817/Fiat-500-Superchips-Buckingham-whole-new-car-tuning-transformation

Drivers of the Porsche Cayman R can now enjoy even more power and torque, thanks to the latest ECU remap from global leader Superchips

Superchips has developed the dynamic and sporty Cayman R map to improve the power and torque of the already impressive 3.4 litre naturally aspirated engine.

Leaving the Porsche plant in Stuttgart with 321BHP (325PS) and 370Nm, the Superchips remap adds 18BHP and 19Nm torque. The spread of torque across the RPM range is improved as well, allowing for a smoother and more responsive drive especially at part throttle.

The conversion is carried out by one of Superchips nationwide dealer network and typically takes around an hour. Customers can either wait at the dealer or drop off their car and return later to collect.

The RRP (Recommended Retail Price) of the remap is £320 including VAT and labour. The conversion is covered by Superchips’ 12-month/30,000-mile warranty*.

Superchips coverage of the latest turbo-petrol BMWs extends across the 3-, 4-, 6- and 8-cylinder models, from 1.5L up to the 4.0L V8. Boundaries are there to be broken, and the BMW i8 supercar is no exception.

The BMW i8 uses a version of the 3- cylinder 1.5L engine, similar to that used in the 1 and 2 series as well as the Mini. In the i8 the engine is fitted with a larger turbocharger and different pistons with a lower compression ratio. This is all supplemented by a powerful hybrid energy system with the front wheels being electrically driven and the rear wheels having a mix of electric and internal combustion power. The powertrain has a combined output of 362BHP and 570Nm. The Superchips conversion adds 37bhp to this figure, and 62Nm torque.

This improvement not only provides the car with improved performance – around half a second was removed from the 30-70mph sprint – but also greater driveability and more relaxed cruising.

The conversion can be carried out by one of Superchips’ nationwide dealers and the price of £799 includes labour and VAT. The conversion is covered by Superchips’ no-quibble seven-day money back guarantee and the device itself is also covered by Superchips’ product warranty*.
