Darren Posted December 16, 2002 Share Posted December 16, 2002 Has anyone got a superchip or alike fitted? Or can anyone explain what they do? A local J spec car dealer fits these or something simular from Japan (looks like a fuel cut type box wired into ECU) and claims 400bhp + with no other work so is it just B@llshit? It all sound too easy to me. Thanks in advance. Darren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Need4Speed Posted December 16, 2002 Share Posted December 16, 2002 Would this be in the Canterbury area? The BHP all depends on what level of boost you're seeing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Harwood Posted December 16, 2002 Share Posted December 16, 2002 From what I've heard, it's just a FCD and a bleed valve on the turbo. Load of balls for less than £100 of bits! Although, if I'm wrong and there IS a miracle box of trick... I want one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Need4Speed Posted December 16, 2002 Share Posted December 16, 2002 If it's your car Darren, you've already got TRL FCD, HKS S TYPE FMIC, BLITZ DSBC so there's nothing in it for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Dunk Shaw Posted December 17, 2002 Share Posted December 17, 2002 400 bhp just by fitting a superchip is rubbish, my bro is a superchip agent and have asked about this for the twin turbo supra, you could see maybe a 30-40 bhp gain, along with some extra torque. There about £500 for the supra. I think the best route to go is exhaust, full decat, bc, fcd then you will have a genuine 400 bhp car, but then you'll poss need a better intercooler. The best results with the superchip are on the turbo diesel cars where they work very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
