How i got more power, safely for my 2013 D4 SE SDV6

**jon3950** · 21st February 2015, 08:26 AM

I should have written this last night as I can't quote the original post now, but some of the their claims about working closely with manufacturers and keeping within their tolerances seem a bit of a stretch. I'd like to see them back those claims up.

From what I know of Superchips, they are involved in a couple of racing series in the UK, one of which has a loose connection with Volkswagen UK, but I'm fairly certain they have no involvement with the VW WRC team.

As for working closely with manufacturers, I'd be very surprised if JLR were sharing any engine data with them.

Vague statements like those are easy to make on the internet, but they are at best deceptive.

I'm not making any comment on whether it is a good product or not, just their marketing. However I just can't see the point in re-mapping a 2.5t road-going 4wd that has enough power to do everything it needs to very comfortably - and I include the 2.7 that some of you "poor" people seem to be driving.

Cheers,
Jon

For those of you on the West Coast that want to consider a remap, Peter's thinking of coming over and giving a short talk at one of the GOE seminars, with a "price for the day" offer on the remaps whilst he's here.

The details haven't been worked out yet, but if you're interested PM or email me and I'll send updates when they're to hand.

Cheers,

Gordon

I also want to make the poorer people with their 2.7l TDV6 aware of the fact that if your 2.7l D4 has the Bosch ECU, it will need to be re-mapped in the same way as the 3.0L D4, on the bench, so ECU removed and sent to Superchip.
Only the 2.7l D4 with the Siemans ECU can be re-mapped with a file downloaded by the device to the ECU.

And how do us poorer people work out which ECU we have?
Does it work on MY?
Or is it easy to tell by looking at it.

Why did the posts questioning if this was advertising get removed? Thought they were legitimate questions deserving a legitimate answer. Normally posts like this have a disclaimer from the originator saying they are not connected with the product so you know whether to take them with a grain of salt (at least I do).

Maybe because they weren't relevant after the original post was deleted?

The whole thread is not relevant after the OP had a tanty and deleted it...

I thought Inc changed the system to stop people being able to do that?

If you read the text left by the moderator it tells you why. Once the post was deleted the next post asking if it was advertising was irrelevant and was deleted.

When I spoke to a tuner in the UK about this, he said you are better off looking to be sure.
He couldn't understand how I had a MY11 2.7l, the UK don't have the 2.7l after MY10, even more confusing for him was the fact that my 2.7l D4 is a July 2011 build.

I also spoke to Davis Performance Landy, he said that he could do it, but couldn't garrantee it would work AND if it didn't work, wouldn't refund us the $850 it cost, his solution, buy a second ECU, that way if it didn't work, you still had a working ECU

So $600 odd for the ECU, $850 for the tune spent for no result, he thought that's OK

Hence we have no tune, I didn't bother re-contacting the tuner in the UK to ask if he could garrantee it would work, but he did say he does warrant all his work when I was originally talking to him.

Jonesy63 has a superchip tune in his D4, he said his works, maybe PM him.
