What is a
remapped chip and how does it work? Basically all modern fuel injected cars use
an on-board computer called an ECU (Electronic Control Unit) to control the fuel delivery
and/or ignition timing. This replaces conventional carburettors and mechanically
controlled distributors. |

| The superchips module
adjust the fuelling and timing maps to improve drivability and allows the smooth and
progressive on-and-off throttle driving style most performance minded drivers prefer. The
flatspots often experienced under normal driving conditions are also ironed out. On the
EEC IV computer the power increases on full throttle are usually calculated at around 5%,
but the changes to way the engine responds are quite dramatic. On the EEC V the power
increases are greater, normally in the order of 8%. |

On turbocharged engines the
manufacturer's boost limit is increased allowing the boost pressure to be raised. The
remapped chip matches the ignition timing and fuelling to match the modified boost
pressure, allowing impressive gains of 35% more power and torque on some models. Whilst
power gains may be impressive, Superchips have maintained safe parameters in their
remapping to ensure long term reliability is retained. |

| The icon is designed for use on vehicles
which as yet have been "unchippable" The
ICON is a high performance engine management computer which interfaces with your car's own
ECU, intercepting the ignition pulses and recalculating them based on an ignition map
developed specifically for your car on our dyno. It uses the latest PIC microcontroller,
running at 4 million instructions per second - 4 times faster than most current
manufacturer's ECUs. A new ignition value and advance pulse is calculated for each and
every spark giving your car more mid-range torque and added throttle response, with power
increases of up to 10%. |
