muzzy Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 Get um from any superchip authroised dealer only. Should tell u were on the super chips web site. Yes rolling road is very inportant when superchipping. they normally include a price for a rolling road set up and chip when u go to a superchip dealer.think its 300 quid for the chip and what ever extra for the road set up(i think)Normally best to leave the chiping for one of the last engine mods do on ur car.

RSPOOJ Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 despite the hefty price..id go unichip every time..its mapped live to your car on the rollers and takes all your cars quirks into account and pulls on its strengths..the superchip has to have a downloaded pre-set map put on the chip and then its set up to make sure its doing what is s'posed to...the unichip is constantly upgradeable and far more accurate means of chipping...cost around £450 including setup but you can find cheaper installations if you ask about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RSPOOJ Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 i paid £450 for mine and ive heard of people finding deals for £350..its worth lookin about..with a 1.6 i was getting about 13bhp..not too shabby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mk6 Si Ross Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 I had a Unichip on my old RS2000, it was slightly down on power, never been looked after and the Unichip pulled it upto 160bhp with exhaust n filter. Also can be re-mapped at a later date if you mod further Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee R Posted September 4, 2003 Share Posted September 4, 2003 150@wheels would equate to around 170-175 at fly wouldn't it??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

white_van_matt Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 What's the crack with those superchips bluefins Apparantly you pay 500 quid, and it will do any modern ford (on a set map) surely you could just buy one and then charge £50 a time to people to have their ECU remapped? Also how could insurers tell u'd done it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
