What is the Response Chip Plus?
The Response Chips uses the very latest technology which utilizes the on board diagnostic port, also known as an OBD port. If you ECU is too old and not able to be remapped via OBD then we also have the skills to be able to chip tune your ECU giving the same results. With the use of an external managing unit such as ours, it is possible to take the manufacturers map off your vehicle, and overwrite a performance map in its place. There is no need for removing or opening of the ECU as it is all carried out through the manufacturers OBD port which makes the procedure safe and does not invalidate your warranty.
The major benefit of the Response Chip Plus is that we can take into account any modifications and tune your vehicle over and over again with relative ease until we have the desired results. We use wide band lambda data logging equipment which allows us to log the major engine output parameters in real time. This is stored and examined and then changes are made in areas that require attention and a custom file is generated. This approach to tuning is essential as standard files don’t cater for most bolt on mods and so in many cases a custom file is needed to bring these bolt on mods together.
The basics of our remap technology changes your engines variables in order to provide you with more torque and brake horse power throughout the engines rev range, making the car faster, more refined and more fun.
Why Aren't Factory Cars Programmed with Maximum Output?
When a manufacturer designs a car, it needs to take into account all factors that will affect the running and reliability of their vehicle. As most cars are sold all over the world, they have to contend with these varying factors:
Temperature and humidity variations from equatorial to arctic regions.
Varying fuel qualities.
Varying Government emission regulation controls. Cars are designed to cater for all target users from the young to the elderly.
As a result of this, manufacturers detune their vehicles to enable them to sell a standardized vehicle that is suitable for all of their target markets. Here in the United Kingdom we don’t suffer from extremes of weather conditions and we have good quality fuels and operating conditions, this enables us to raise the output parameters of the engine safely and allow the engine to show its true potential.
A NASP Response Chip Plus....Why
This product caters for customers who want a substantial increase in performance and response and also the facility to try a variation on the first offering. "It’s not very often that a product comes along that "wows" us however the Response Chip does....it’s really that simple...from a seat of the pants point of view they are special and give astounding gains over and above the conventional." The PLUS takes things even further and its really quiet astounding to sample the results...you WILL be impressed.
This does not mean that other tuners do not provide good gains it’s just that from our experience; the Response Chips are different and provide an enhanced level of performance. Tuning vehicles ECUs to release hidden performance is only possible because manufacturers DO NOT try and optimize the vehicle they build...they set out to achieve a set power/performance envelope and stop when they achieve this. This in turn leaves in many cases a huge opportunity for performance and economy improvements to be made however just like the original manufacturer the targets and goals that tuners set together with the level of enthusiasm they apply all go towards the end result, and so a chip is not just a chip as you will see. As you may have noticed new vehicles are getting more powerful, but they are also getting heavier with performance almost standing still. This requires a fresh and dynamic approach to this area of vehicle tuning and we feel that the Response Chip is the answer.
