It's in my blood, I can't leave any car alone.

This morning I went to SuperChips and had my ECU remapped. This was a scheduled visit and the guys at SuperChips were fantastic.

At the end of the day I am producing 235bhp of power and 347nm of torque. But keep this in mind, this is on the dyno and heat created doing so does affect the end result (explained very well by the techs at SuperChips). I can tell you that the true results are found on the road, and as you can see that the best hp and torque gain is in the mid-range which is where I am at a lot. It's smoother, no turbo lag, and accelerates much better out of the corners. It definitely is more fun to drive. Keep in mind that I do have other modifications done to aid in these numbers (K&N filter and Ruffer exhaust).

So what is next ???

Here are some pictures and the results:

Yes I have the passion and it shows as you see, so thank you for recognizing that.

I did some research on remap companies, some just didn't sound or look good, others were interesting, but Superchips was my pick due to their involvement with this area of cars. I used a Superchip module years ago in my Mustang in the U.S. and was not disappointed then either.

I use only 99 Momentum fuel or equivalent.

Yep, I agree with the rest of you.. Keep up the "useful mods" Zombie1066! Good job for making the RCZ a better all-round "Drivers Car"!

Re: Zombie1066's RCZ goes to SuperChips

To be honest I want more power in the mid-range for better acceleration for passing and out of the corners, top speed would be nice although I believe our cars are limited?

hmm also only the air filter did any difference, i mean in sound or performance? can you tell us, and are you going to setup also a dump valve to protect the turbo?

The filter and exhaust helped in both sound and performance. No on the dump valve.

Stay tuned as more to come in regards to mods etc.

Re: Zombie1066's RCZ goes to SuperChips

The works spec RCZ Is producing just under 300bhp or there abouts... I'll have a look for the official blurb later as it listed a lot of changes.

Ideally you wanna be looking at a new exhaust header / free flowing cat next. But bear in mind whatever you do now will require further remapping

You go that right Figo about a remap after each mod. Since I knew I was going to get a remap and do some mods, and being on a tight budget just after the purchase of the car, I waited till I had done the mods before I got a remap. Yes it would of been nice to have known what I had prior to the mods, but again it was a funds issue at the time.

I do want to change out the rest of the exhaust, but will take time to do so.

My eyes were really opened up to headers on my MGTFR. 210bhp on a naturally aspirated engine... Free flowing header gave me a 10% increase to over 230bhp .... With no turbo :-O

That car has 250 bhp.....and to get there they had to fit special pistons and con rods and heavily modify the intake system....

You can get 250 bhp from the stock engine with some additional bolt-on mods and a remap and be okay. This is because the biggest difference here is that with a street car, you very rarely require and use that much power. Where as the race car, it is constantly pushing on the maximum and so better engine internal mods are required (it's built to be raced).
