Owners of the Range Rover Evoque SD4 190PS models can now enjoy substantial performance, driveability and fuel economy improvements thanks to Superchips Ltd.

Available now on the firm’s market leading ‘Plug-in and Go’ Bluefin DIY handset, the Superchips ECU remap for the September 2011 onwards model of the baby Range Rover adds an impressive 25bhp at 3867rpm, making the Evoque feel considerably more rapid and responsive.

In addition, the Superchips Bluefin ECU remap for the Range Rover Evoque increases the car’s torque output by a healthy 78Nm at just 2051rpm, which benefits low speed performance for everyday driving, makes towing and load carrying easier and enhances in-gear acceleration.

Pleasingly, in a time of high diesel prices, the extra low-speed performance delivered by the Superchips ECU remap can improve the fuel economy of the Evoque by up to 7% if driven in a ‘like for like’ manner with the standard car.

Installing the Superchips ECU remap onto the Range Rover Evoque SD4 190PS is a speedy, reliable and fully reversible task, thanks to Superchips’ market leading Bluefin ‘Plug-in and Go’ handset. No technical skills are required as Superchips’ customers plug the Bluefin handset into the Range Rover Evoque’s OBDII diagnostic port and then follow the simple on-screen instructions, a process which takes a matter of minutes.

As part of this process, the original factory Range Rover Evoque ECU map settings are stored within the Bluefin handset for future use, which means converting the car back to standard is a swift and simple ‘Plug-in and Go’ DIY task. Alternatively, customers can visit one of approximately 80 UK wide Superchips performance centres, where trained technicians can undertake the Bluefin remapping procedure for Range Rover Evoque customers.

And there’s never been a better time to buy a Bluefin, because thanks to the firm’s special price offer, Range Rover Evoque SD4 (190PS) owners can now enjoy the Superchips performance advantage for just £365.00 inclusive of VAT and installation.

Fast, frugal and fun – Superchips remap adds power to the 184 bhp BMW 320D

2010 onwards BMW 320D remapped by Superchips Ltd

Superchips Ltd, the world’s leader in automotive electronic tuning, is delighted to unveil a high performance ECU remap for the latest version of the popular BMW 320D, using the 184 bhp, 1995cc engine.

In spite of the relatively high standard power output Superchips’ in-house engineers have been able to extract significant additional performance from the BMW’s 1995cc, four cylinder turbodiesel motor, whilst retaining reliability and the 320’s famed frugality.

Thorough analysis of the BMW 320D’s Bosch EDC17 ECU allowed Superchips to pinpoint potential performance gains which were realised through a combination of in-house dyno testing and real life evaluation.

The results, even by Superchips’ high standards, are very impressive, with the BMW 320D’s power increasing by a healthy 35 bhp at 3689 rpm. Crucially, Superchips has also paid rigorous attention to the spread of power, with improvements from 1500 rpm right up the 4500 rpm cut out.

In addition, torque increases by 74 Nm at just 2748 rpm as a result of the Superchips conversion, with progressive gains throughout the operating range. From behind the wheel the 320D feels noticeably sharper, more urgent and willing to rev, with greater driveability matched to superior all round performance.

No performance figures are currently available but it would seem likely that a significant improvement on the standard 320D’s 7.3 seconds 0-60mph time can be expected. In-gear acceleration times will also be markedly improved thanks to the Superchips upgrade.

Mindful of record diesel prices, Superchips has placed great emphasis on retaining the BMW 320D’s superb 60 mpg combined fuel economy. Therefore in spite of the noticeable performance increase produced by the Superchips’ ECU remap, if a Superchips equipped BMW 320D is driven in a ‘like for like’ manner, fuel consumption will not be adversely affected.

Requiring installation by trained technicians at one of approximately 80 Superchips performance centres, the Superchips’ BMW 320D conversion is covered by a full Customer Service Guarantee and an industry-leading 12 month / 30,000 supplementary full vehicle warranty.*

Suitable for both six speed manual and six speed ‘Step Auto’ variants of the 184 bhp BMW 320D produced from March 2010 onwards, the Superchips’ ECU remap is available now directly from Superchips and its UK dealer network, priced at £455.00, including VAT @ 20%.

Superchips – don’t compromise, optimise.

VW Golf Mk5 1.4 TSI with Bluefin ECU remap by Superchips LtdSuperchips Ltd, the sole official tuning partner of Volkswagen Racing UK since the year 2000, is pleased to launch a new ECU remap that will maximise the performance of the 140 PS variants of the 1.4 TSI Golf GT, GT Sport and Sport versions of the MK5 Golf, which use the unique, 1390cc, direct injection, turbo / supercharged engine,

Superchips has a long track record of enhancing the performance of VW products with thoroughly developed, well proven, performance orientated ECU remaps, but for the 1.4 TSI application the end results achieved are, even for Superchips high standards, quite exceptional.

Superchips technicians have carefully analysed the car’s Bosch MED17 ECU to enable the firm to pinpoint where power increases could be extracted without compromising the driveability, reliability and fuel economy of the 1.4 TSI engined Golf MKV.

Following the installation of the Superchips ECU remap, the 1.4 TSI (140) MKV VW Golf really comes alive, gaining up to 42 bhp at 5303 rpm. Similarly, the Superchips ECU remap noticeably improves the torque output throughout the rev range on the 1.4 TSI (140) MKV VW Golf, increasing it by 56 Nm at 4877 rpm.

Pleasingly, given the relaxed nature of the 1.4 TSI’s turbo / supercharged powerplant, the Superchips ECU remap delivers a driveable, progressive increase in performance, with gains throughout the rev range from just 2200 rpm.

In today’s climate of ever increasing fuel prices, VW Golf MKV 1.4 TSI (140) owners can also be reassured that the Superchips ECU remap delivers a minimal fuel consumption penalty. Indeed, if driven in a ‘like for like’ manner with the standard car, VW Golf MKV 1.4 TSI drivers will experience no fuel consumption penalty, despite the extra performance. This is thanks to the extra efficiencies realised by the optimised nature of the Superchips remap.

Golf MKV TSI owners have two choices for installing the Superchips ECU remap. Firstly, they can visit one of approximately 80 Superchips performance centres, where trained technicians can undertake the remapping procedure.

Alternatively most variants of the MkV Golf TSI can use Superchips market leading Bluefin ‘Plug and go’ handset, which simply plugs into the car’s OBDII diagnostics port, a procedure that takes a matter of minutes. Owners should consult the Superchips website for more details of the Bluefin option.

With both available installation options, customers can be assured the Superchips conversion is covered by a full Customer Service Guarantee and an industry-leading 12 month / 30,000 supplementary full vehicle warranty.*

Suitable for all Volkswagen Golf 1.4 TSI (140) models produced between 2004-2008, the Superchips ECU remap is available now directly from Superchips and its UK dealer network, priced at £445.00, including VAT @ 20%.

Superchips – don’t compromise, optimise.
