Fitting Details
Your car contains the latest technology ECU that can be re-
programmed through the on-board diagnostic port (OBD-II).
Specialised software interfaces with your vehicle’s engine
management system to extract the electronic code via serial
download. Once the information has been read, Powerchip
technicians apply the performance changes and upload the
performance program back through the OBD-II port. Installation
cannot be performed by the end user. Programming must occur
at an Authorized Powerchip Office or at authorised Powerchip
Platinum dealers. The programming takes approximately 2 hour's
to complete.
On Road Development
Where Powerchip really shines out over its competitors is the
emphasis and time spent refining the program for drivability and
enjoyment. Much more a ‘real world’ gain than full throttle horse
power runs on a dyno, part throttle refinement is a gain everyone
uses every time they drive the vehicle. Flat spots and poor off the
line performance are smoothed out in this process, and transient
throttle conditions are made razor sharp for the ultimate in
response. Real time changes to tables like throttle response and
power enrichment are done on road to fine tune the driving
experience of the vehicle, with acceleration timing equipment
used to ensure consistent and measurable gains in part throttle
drivability.
