The latest addition to the range of ECU remaps from global leader Superchips, has been developed to give owners of two versions of the latest Bosch Engine Management systems a significant increase in performance from engine tuning and remapping.

The 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine in the Mk6 Polo GTi leaves the VW factory with a manufacturer quoted 200PS. The car uses the latest Bosch MG1 turbo petrol engine management system. Through careful development and testing, the Superchips remap increases this by an impressive 49bhp at 3829rpm and a remarkable 112Nm torque at 2846rpm.

These gains offer drivers the best of both worlds; improved day to day driveability thanks to the increase in torque at low engine revs, combined with gains in power at higher engine speeds, delivering greater acceleration for more rewarding driving and safer overtaking.

A remap is now also available for the latest Bosch MD1 turbo diesel engine management system, fitted in the Audi A6 and A7 with 3.0 TDI 218PS engines. The Superchips remap removes artificial restrictions imposed on this low output version of the engine, to increase output by a useful 64bhp at 3874rpm and a remarkable 122Nm torque at 2982rpm.

Specific information about this conversion can be found on the Superchips website here http://bit.ly/SC-A6218PSMD1

Both conversions are carried out by one of Superchips worldwide dealer network and typically takes less than 90 minutes, as the process interfaces directly with the car’s ECU. Customers can either wait at the dealer or drop off their car and return later to collect.

The RRP of the conversion is £399 (including VAT) for both vehicles. Both remaps are covered by Superchips’ industry-leading 12-month/30,000-mile warranty*.

Superchips Ltd is proud to announce our involvement in a very special project for Honda UK and Team Dynamics Motorsport. Using our years of experience in engine management systems, we developed a bespoke software solution for the Honda Civic FK8 Type R, which along with components from other select manufacturers, enabled a staggering horsepower gain while maintaining reliability and driveability.

Our involvement with Team Dynamics goes back many years, with personal sponsorship of ace driver Matt Neal since 2005. Matt Neal was the first driver in the modern era to successfully defend the most prestigious prize in UK motor sport – the Dunlop MSA BTCC title. In 2005 Matt was crowned champion in a season where he scored points in every single race, and the 6’6” driver earned the “people’s champion” tag when he became the first independent driver to win a race outright. Since 2010 he has driven for Honda Racing, winning the championship for the third time in 2010.

The Team Dynamics Motorsport version of the Civic Type R has been conceived by the Droitwich-based motorsport team to showcase the potential of the Civic Type R. The multi-championship winning team is the driving force behind the Halfords Yuasa Racing team, otherwise known as the Honda British Touring Car Championship works team.

Remaining road-legal, the car has a comprehensive selection of ‘off-the-shelf’ and bespoke modifications that have been carefully selected by Team Dynamics to heighten all aspects of the car. The changes to the ECU (Superchips), induction system (ITG), intercooler (PWR), sports cat (Dream) and exhaust (Scorpion) have yielded a 25% gain in performance; taking power to 400bhp and 500Nm. Helping control this increase are a number of modifications that embody both performance and safety, such as Goodridge stainless performance braided brake hoses, Eibach Pro performance springs, adjustable anti-roll bars and rear camber arms, and Dunlop DZ03G track day tyres wrapped around Team Dynamics’ 19” Pro-Race lightweight competition-derived wheels.

James Rodgers, team manager at Team Dynamics, comments: “We’re familiar with the race-winning FK8, however we wanted to showcase what can be extracted from the car with just a few light modifications. The standard car, which we call a race car for the road, is so competent that it really doesn’t take much to take it to the next level.”

Shake your RS! New remap for 400PS Audi TT RS

Global ECU remap leader Superchips has introduced a conversion for the Audi TT RS model that improves the already-exceptional performance even further.

Using a turbocharged version of the 2.5-litre EURO6 petrol engine, the latest TT RS dubbed FV/8S, running on Bosch engine management, leaves the factory with an impressive 400PS.

Following careful development, the Superchips remap adds a very useful 49bhp at 4722rpm and a superb 117Nm torque at 2103rpm.

Not only does this enhance the TT RS’s already lively performance, it improves driveability in more normal, day-to-day use. The Superchips remap smoothes out a gradual dip in the original engine’s torque curve, so the remapped engine not only gains torque but also, better delivery.

In addition, the electronic speed limiter, specified on the original engine, can be removed for cars destined for motorsport use.

The conversion can be performed by one of Superchips’ highly skilled worldwide dealers, at a cost of £599 including labour and VAT (prices correct at time of publishing, but are subject to variation in the future).

The remap is covered by Superchips’ industry-leading 12-month/30,000-mile warranty.*

Following the release of their conversion for the lower output Transporter earlier this year, world ECU remap leader Superchips has now introduced a product for the most powerful version in the range, using the 204PS BiTDI version of the 2.0 turbo-diesel engine.

Using the latest Delphi engine management, the bi-turbo diesel engine leaves the factory with 204PS but the Superchips remap adds significantly to both power and torque. Power increases by 40BHP at 3966rpm while torque – arguably more beneficial for a light commercial vehicle – grows by an even more impressive 73Nm at 4051rpm. The full power and torque curves can be seen on the website listing for the vehicle at the bottom of this page.

Examination of the torque curve reveals a broad increase across the whole RPM range, with more torque than the stock figure until over 4000rpm, creating a smoother and more refined driving experience as well as gains in fuel economy of up to 7% – a huge benefit for the light commercial fleet, providing potential cost reductions when driven in a comparable manner.

The conversion can be performed by one of Superchips’ highly skilled nationwide dealers, at an RRP of £399 including labour and VAT. The remap is covered by Superchips’ industry-leading 12-month/30,000-mile warranty.*

Global ECU remap leader Superchips has launched another conversion for the Ford turbocharged petrol engine, the EcoBoost. It now offers a significant performance upgrade for models using the 1.0-litre version of the engine as fitted in the latest M8 Fiesta

FiestaMk8Blogwithtag

The Euro6-specification engine leaves the factory with either 100PS, 125PS or 140PS and the Superchips remap can be applied to all manual equipped versions, resulting in almost the same peak power for all three variants. For example, the 140PS variant pictured above outside our HQ during development gains an extra 24BHP and 52Nm.

The full power and torque curves can be seen by clicking the following link:

http://www.superchips.co.uk/curves/FiestaMk81L140.pdf

In addition to outright gains in both power and torque, the curves show that the Superchips remap provides the biggest increase in the mid-RPM range, right where it’s most useful. Not only will the car now be more driveable with its additional torque, it will also feel smoother on the road.

The conversion can be carried out by owner themselves, using Superchips’ Bluefin device, at a normal RRP of £399 including VAT.

With a Bluefin, users don’t need any mechanical or technical skills, simply plug the Bluefin handset into the diagnostic port (connecting to the vehicle’s Electronic Control Unit) and follow the on-screen instructions.

Alternatively, it can be performed by one of Superchips’ highly skilled nationwide dealers, at a cost of £365 including labour and VAT.

The remap is covered by Superchips’ industry-leading 12-month/30,000-mile warranty.*
