Superchip?

[GREG_R84]

Has any one used superchip to remap there LCR? Im thinking about getting it done soon. Also does any one know if they do a blufin for the LCR

 

[BCM]

Wow wow wow!
Superchips? Bluefin? What did you have before the LCR a RST? Focus ST170?
These are not the remapping options anyone on here would go for, do a wee search on Revo, Jabba, P Torque, APR, Bell, Star Performance,

where you located?

 

[GREG_R84]

I had a MG ZR 160 remapped by superchips to 194 bhp. They say they cam remap a LCR to 281 bhp. Im located in both colchester and tamworth

 

[BCM]

They can't mate! Ask them for proof!
I don't know a single person on this forum that has a superchip on there car.
More tried and trusted mapping companies make themselfs known on here.
Most people will back me up when i say a "Generic Map" will produce between 255-270bhp and if you pay for a custom map with some choice mods you should see 270 solid ponnies, but you will be hard pushed to get 280 bhp without all the mods i can think of, FMIC, TIP, CAI, Forge pipes for everythin, downpipe and de/race cat, and one top map!

 

[BCM]

And how the hell did the squeeze another 37bhp out of the vvc engine?

 

[G-FORCE]

I think 281bhp is maybe a tad hopeful.
I have not seen a standard LCR running a standard exhaust and cat setup just with a re-map / chip make 280+bhp with the K04s turbo on a decent set or Rollers / Dyno.

APR, Jabba, Revo and Star as mentioned above are tried and tested with some good results. Do a Search on LCR Remap for some good posts.

Yea fair one come to think of it, its costs a bomb to some what near to 500 kwid. The MG cost 365 kwid and it showed 194 bhp on the RR print out, or thats what they wanted me to see??

 

[BCM]

I think that is very optimistic mate! Did it feel like nearly 200bhp, bearing in mind that would make type r quick!

 

[BCM]

On there website it claims 8bhp i think! Now for them to over acheive by 29bhp, maybe they would ask questions!

 

[GREG_R84]

Iv only had the LCR for 6 mnths now as it is. What sort of mods would you suggest?

 

[GREG_R84]

Yea it was no were near as fast as my mates type R, Though it had alot done to it. suppose i was just kidding my self over the amount spent on it. Oh well it was tax free and wrote off in black ice in feb so lets forget about that

 

[BCM]

I've had mine for about 6 months too mate, what do you want out the car?
You'll find little things make it a bit better, Dog Bone Engine Bush, Turbo Intakle Pipe, Uprated Recirc DumpValve - the standard one is prone to failing, especially after being remapped,
All can be had from forge!
And you get a wee dicount if you mention the site!

 

[GREG_R84]

All iv done to it at the mo is a K and N pannel filter and bailey recirc DV. I was looking in to getting a sprint booster fitted when i get it serviced in dec but changed my mind now and was thinking of superchip again???Hence this. I suppose im just looking for a little more kick or some thing to over come the turbo lag, ie FMIC but you'll always get lag

 

[BCM]

FMIC will give you more lag!
You looking at going for some more mods or just gonna be happy with a map?

 

[GREG_R84]

Im not to sure, id like to go with just mods. What do you think?

 

[BCM]

Well the reason i was asking is i'm waiting tll i get all my mods then a custom map to suit them all, rather than a generic map then adding the mods (exhaust, tip, filter) if you go fot the mods then custom map then you get the most from those mods!

 

[GREG_R84]

happy days, cheers mate

 

[BCM]

Enjoy it mate!

 

[G-FORCE]

depends on what your looking to get from your car. Mine has a green cotton panel filter, Forge 007p DV and a Stage 1 Revo map. I am more then happy with my results and the car does shift when you can get the power down without spinning.

 

[G2232]

If your wanting to reduce turbo lag mate i would change down pipe
as in istances that can bring in turbo 1000rpm sooner
