The latest addition to the range of ECU remaps from global leader Superchips allows drivers of Audi A6 and A7 models using the BiTDi twin-turbocharged engines to gain significant increases in performance and potentially, fuel economy.

Audi A6 BiTDi

The performance of the 320PS, three-litre engine, running on Bosch management, is increased by 59bhp at 3009rpm and a very impressive 139Nm torque at the same engine speed.

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

The power and torque curves follow the originals perfectly but shifted significantly higher to reflect the improvements in both values. The remapped torque curve also shows a flattening of an inherent dip in the trace on the original engine, maintaining peak torque for longer.

In fact, the remapped engine shows greater torque than the original peak value virtually throughout the entire speed range.

In addition to the gains in performance and driveability this offers the large Audi models, drivers can also expect to see improvements of up to 7% in fuel economy, when compared with a similar pre-conversion driving style. Further, the electronic speed limiter can be removed for cars destined for motorsport use.

The conversion can be carried out by owner themselves, using Superchips’ Bluefin device, at a cost of £416* 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 £399 including labour and VAT.

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

The factory output is a respectable 150PS yet the Superchips remap increases this even further. In fact, power rises by 29bhp at 3754rpm while torque grows by a very impressive 62Nm at 2694rpm.

Not only do the power and torque curves for the Superchips remap demonstrate the increases in both but they show a smoother torque curve when the engine reaches its peak output. The engine also holds on to its power for longer at the top of the speed range.

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

The result is a car with greatly-improved acceleration but combined with superior driveability, thanks to the gains in torque low down in the rev range.

The conversion is carried out by one of Superchips nationwide dealer network and typically takes less than an hour, since the process is now carried out using the vehicle’s OBDII (On Board Diagnostics) port. Customers can either wait at the dealer or drop off their car and return later to collect.

The cost of the remap is £365 including VAT and labour and is covered by Superchips’ industry-leading 12-month/30,000-mile warranty.*

The global ECU remap leader Superchips has introduced a conversion for the latest version of the popular Japanese pocket rocket, the Honda Civic Type R.

The latest version of the Civic Type R, using the turbocharged I-VTEC engine and running on Bosch management, comes with a healthy output of 310PS from the factory. However, the Superchips remap adds significantly to both power and torque.

The power outputs increases by a very useful 58bhp at 3682rpm but the torque grows by a far larger margin – a huge 115 Nm at 3439rpm, representing a gain of almost 30% over the original engine.

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

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

The shape of the curves show that with the Superchips conversion, the remapped power and torque curves continue to rise at the same rate as the original car and continue much further, meaning that the car’s inherent driveability and traction is unaffected even though the power and torque increase significantly.

These increases make it more rewarding to drive, with greatly improved performance throughout the engine speed range.

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 Honda Civic Type R remap is £399 including VAT and labour. The conversion is covered by Superchips’ 12-month/30,000-mile warranty*.

Not only do the curves for the Superchips remap show much higher figures, the torque curve in particular eliminates a dip that is apparent from the factory. The torque curve for the Superchips remap also exceeds the factory maximum figure virtually throughout the engine rev range, giving Ford’s people carriers greatly improved driveability.

The conversion can be carried out by owner themselves, using Superchips’ Bluefin device, at a cost of £332 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**.

The latest addition to the range of ECU remaps from global leader Superchips is for the Vauxhall Vivaro B CDTi and Renault Trafic III dCi light commercial vans, using the 120PS, 1.6-litre turbodiesel Euro5 engine.

The Superchips remap offers drivers the traditional benefits of significant increases in both power and torque, with the former increasing by 34bhp at 3659rpm. However, most impressive is the gain in torque, of 85Nm at 1905rpm.

VivaroDB SIZED SITE

While power gains are always beneficial, it is this huge increase in torque that will make the biggest difference to those carrying large or heavy loads. The Superchips remap increases the overall torque but also widens the torque curve, meaning more torque is available for more of the engine’s rev range than before, improve load-carrying ability and driveability enormously.

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

In addition to large improvements in performance and driveability, operators and drivers can also expect to see improvements in fuel economy of up to 7%, compared with a similar driving style.

The remap can be performed by the owner themselves, using Superchips’ Bluefin device, at a cost of £299* 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.

Global ECU remap leader Superchips has introduced a conversion for the Audi RSQ3 model that improves the already-exceptional performance even further.

Using a turbocharged version of the 2.5-litre EURO6 petrol engine, the RS variant of the Q3, running on Bosch engine management, leaves the factory with an impressive 340PS.

However, following careful development, the Superchips remap adds a very useful 61bhp at 5584rpm and a superb 91Nm torque at 3484rpm.

Not only does this enhance the Q3s already lively performance, it improves drivability in more normal, day-to-day use. And 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.

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

http://www.superchips.co.uk/curves/RSQ3CZGA340PS.pdf

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

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 remap is £399 including VAT and labour. The conversion is covered by Superchips’ 12-month/30,000-mile warranty*.

The global leader in ECU remapping, Superchips, has launched a two-stage conversion for the turbocharged petrol, 1.5-litre version of the Mini Cooper.

The first stage is a traditional remap, which Superchips has led the field for decades. Stage 1 adds almost 30% more power and torque, with gains of 43bhp at 5504rpm and 62Nm of torque at 4018rpm. Not only does the conversion increase the output, it also smoothes the torque curve and extends it, improving both performance and driveability.

The full power and torque curves for Stage 1 can be seen by clicking the following link:

http://www.superchips.co.uk/curves/Mini15T134Stage1.pdf

For drivers who want more from the diminutive Mini, Stage 2 can be specified for cars that have been fitted with a performance panel air filter, downpipe and a sports catalyst (or the catalyst removed for motorsport use). The Stage 2 remap will help to give increases of 55bhp at 5504rpm over the standard engine and 86Nm, again above the factory engine.

The full power and torque curves for Stage 2 can be seen by clicking the following link:

http://www.superchips.co.uk/curves/Mini15T134Stage2.pdf

In addition to the extra power and torque, the Stage 2 software will also address the ‘Check Engine’ light which could result from adding a sports catalyst or removing it altogether and will remove the speed limit for motorsport use. Also for motorsport use, on manual cars, the rev limit can be increased as well.

Either 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 Stage 1 remap is £399 including VAT and labour while the cost of Stage 2 is a further £50, including VAT and labour or £449 if applied to a standard car. Both conversions are covered by Superchips’ 12-month/30,000-mile warranty*.
