What will SUPERCHIPS do for my car?
Superchips has a unique range of tuning upgrades for most modern petrol engines (turbo and non-turbo) and turbo-diesels.
Our trained engineers work on a broad range of engines and we are technical experts across all leading makes of vehicles. We’ve chosen to work across the spectrum of brands and engines as by doing so we learn more and we stay in touch with the latest developments from each manufacturer. Ultimately, our wide-ranging and unrivalled experience delivers the best solution for your car.
Every SUPERCHIP optimisation will deliver:
- an engine that responds more eagerly to your right foot
- smoother power delivery making town driving much easier with fewer gear changes
- improved acceleration for safer overtaking
For non-turbo petrol cars
- up to 10% more power
- enhanced throttle response
For turbocharged petrol cars
- up to 20% more power
- up to 25% more midrange torque
Superchips carefully matches increases in turbo boost pressure with the remapped ignition timing and fuelling. It doesn’t affect reliability or the life of the engine. We know – we have more than 27 years’ experience of enhancing the performance of turbocharged engines.
For turbo-diesel cars
- up to 30% more torque and more power
- fuel economy improvements
Here too, we deliver a smoother, enhanced drive by ensuring our remap matches the fuelling to the increases in boost pressure.
Exactly how is IT done?
Since the early 1990s, most engines have been controlled by an on-board computer, the engine control unit (ECU), which amongst other functions, defines the ignition timing, fuelling and boost pressure for all given engine speeds and loads.
After extensive development and testing, we arrive at the optimised settings for your make and model of vehicle, ensuring that each Superchip is as individual as the software inside your ECU, safely eliminating those ‘performance compromises’.
In most cases this remapped programme is installed electronically and remotely through the car’s diagnostic port. There’s no replacement chip, and we don’t touch the ECU itself.
And we always test your vehicle before handing it back for you to enjoy, just making sure everything is operating as it should be.
