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:

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.*

Posted in: FIAT. Tagged: , , , , , , , , , , , , . Leave a comment

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..

Blog500

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

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 cost of the Fiat 1.2 remap is £229 including VAT and labour, although regional variations may apply. The conversion is covered by Superchips’ 12-month/30,000-mile warranty*.

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.

CaymanRBlogThe result is a healthy improvement in driveability combined with much more rewarding performance for drivers who enjoy their time at the wheel. Cruising with the Superchips remap will be more relaxed while the engine will perform much better for spirited driving or overtaking.

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*.
