paulg Posted October 16, 2002 Share Posted October 16, 2002 Just been lookin at a 300 owned my someone local. He melted two pistons and has had to rebuild it himself. He showed me the reciepts he got with the car and guess what...Superchip fitted!!! £450 for the chip £40 for management check (like to know what they did there) £40 for fuel pressure check?????? £50 for rolling road tune with no graph or printout supplied??? The total bill was nearly £1000. I know the place that fitted it and its your typical Maxy Power type garage that used to make its money from splitfire sparkplugs and fitting bleed valves to renault 5 turbos but now claims to be a japanese tuning specialist like many others do. Im gonna check the rom when i get chance and see if its been soldered or socketed just to make sure they did actually fit the chip. Im sure someone once dumped the code and said there was only one byte difference between the stock chip and superchip one. Let this be a lesson to Newbies here make sure you take advice from someone here before getting work done to your car. Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisC Posted October 17, 2002 Share Posted October 17, 2002 I heard the superchips one just moves the rev and speed limiters up but doesn't alter the fueling. They do claim more power though so surely they must know it would damage the engine if there's no increase in fueling... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 300z Posted October 17, 2002 Share Posted October 17, 2002 And to think they have an article in EVO mag this month on an Audi :(. Good marketing gets them alot of exposure. I think there is a whole lot more on Superchips on the German site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
