Extensively dyno tested

This kit works in just the same way as a chip (such as those sold by Superchips) but does not require opening of the car's delicate Electronic Control Unit (ECU). Instead the kit attaches to the wiring which is easily accessible under the bonnet - which in turn leads back to the ECU. This kit also gives you fully adjustable control of the power your car develops. This way you can have extra power when you need it and standard economy when you don't (or anywhere in between).

Position 0 - car unaffected, normal fuel consumption.

Position 1-10 for increased fuelling and advanced ignition - depending on your needs.

"Chipped" cars have more power because they have increased fuelling (more petrol entering the cylinders) and advanced timing (makes the spark plugs fire a tiny bit earlier). The VariPower kit achieves these two functions in a different way to changing the expensive ECU chip. It connects to cables which are easy to get to under the bonnet or at the ECU and gives you a totally variable controller.


"We have sold hundreds of VariPower units over the last few years and gained the most wonderful feedback. Customers only need to look back through the feedback to see how well these units work. The gains are huge!"

Alan MaC

Go on then, vario power (or whatever).

Where can we view it to "look" at it then??

POP GOES THE SCOOBY!!!


Did you fit one of these before you did the 150mph run and blow your engine??

Alan MaC

Just found it on Flea Bay, for £4.49 it really looks a sohisticated bit of kit!!

philr

no i have not bought one and no the engine did not go pop it went bang bang smash bang,only thought of this to save a little fuel when taking the kids out

philr

no but will go faster the next time,just have not been in the mood yet done 130 but me ***** started to shrivel

tteeccttoonn

Save your £4.49. They do more harm than good. It fools your car into running rich, that's all.

philr

i see you have a turbonator fitted,not purchased one yet

philr

is it like one of them resistors you get what fit to air meter,what fools it into running cold???

Alan MaC

PHILR, no one is having a go or trying to take the wee we out of you.

It's just that all the time these things keep on popping up.

TBH I have been tempted myself.

The last remap I had, I asked the mapper his opinion and, he said to me, why are you here & not buying the latest "Gizmo" on E bay??

Cos, I offer a warranty & always map in for safety.

Just looking out for you.

Perhaps you could e mail them & ask for testimonials from "Happy Scooby Customers"

I had the same when I thought about EKtech ( probably not spelt it right) this device gave more BHP, MPG etc Zillions fitted.

TBF when I asked for happy Scooby Customers they gave me a list. I E mailed them and they all said when the Turbo was on boost, the "Gizmo" shut down.

Only time it did anything MPG wise was of boost, on the BHP side, every time you booted it, device shut down.


Hope this helps ( understand where you are coming from with the better MPG angle).

Good luck.

Yep, exactly the same. I wouldn't touch one with mate. The fact that they say a £4.49 pot does the same as a £200+ chip remap is worrying.....

Those lex *** lights should add 30 bhp

philr

i am not bothered anyway mate i like a bit banter,,the ecu i have is supposed to be remapped by prodrive,never checked it out though,its under the passenger side dash is it,should it have a prodrive seal on ecu if been done,but you must admit the bloke had a turbonator fitted to his waggon,and is joking at me.
come on

philr

thought so mate cheers
