The extra performance achieved by the Powerchip allows your vehicle to respond much better than stock Brera 2.2 JTSs. You will notice an effortless push back into the drivers seat, to give you a much more enjoyable and at times safer driving experience. The Powerchip will tap into your Alfa Romeos hidden reserves, to give you an immediately noticeable improvement from your vehicle we guarantee it!

Torque

Torque is a measurement of your engines pulling power, and it is torque that pulls you up hills, allowing your engine a more linear and aggressive acceleration curve. With the Powerchip, you notice the increase in torque right throughout the rev range, which gives you far greater flexibility at low engine revolutions. Towing will become less demanding, and you will no longer feel the need to take the engine to the redline in each gear to get the performance you demand. Its always there for you, when you really need it most!

Acceleration

Increased Power and Torque results in faster acceleration. And it is not just standing start acceleration that is improved, your ingear acceleration is as well. If overtaking is important to you, you will feel safe knowing that you spend less time on the wrong side of the road, improving the safety of your car, for you and your family or passengers. Perhaps you feel that you need that extra bit of power when you are lined up at the "traffic light grand prix" against another car with similar (or more) power? If you want to have the unfair advantage that will give you more GO away from the lights, you need a Powerchip performance software upgrade for your Brera 2.2 JTS.

Fitting Details

Your car uses an ECU which has 'flash' memory. The flash EPROM inside the ECU is a hybrid and cannot be modified in the conventional chip tuning method. Powerchip can 'flash' program the EPROM device by interfacing with the computer's wiring connector plugs to reprogram the chip that contains the engine's fuel delivery, ignition timing and throttle response settings. The ECU will need to be removed from the vehicle and sent via overnight courier to Powerchip. We have full photo ECU removal instructions to assist you and we will contact you after the order is made to organise the shipping information and other details.

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.

Drivability

Powerchip technicians do not spend their whole research and development focus tuning the full throttle performance of each vehicle. A significant emphasis is placed on the part throttle performance. We understand that driving in everyday conditions is more than just flat out acceleration, with your foot flat to the floor. With Powerchip performance software, your car will perform to its potential, even when you are not demanding the peak performance. You no longer need to mash the throttle to take off briskly, and in-gear overtaking can be performed without needing to change down gears. One of the main benefits of choosing to enhance your vehicle with the Powerchip is the improvement you will feel in all driving situations, no matter what your driving style is.

Manufacturers Tolerances

Alfa Romeo unfortunately leaves large tolerances in the performance characteristics of its entire fleet to allow for drivers that are negligent on maintenance, and who are non-enthusiasts. The Brera 2.2 JTS is de-tuned to be able to run on the poorest grade of fuel that the car is likely to encounter anywhere in the world, and also to allow for the small percentage of owners who put their cars reliability to the test due to their lack of mechanical understanding. In most cases, our clients are enthusiasts who place more emphasis on the performance characteristics of their vehicle, and therefore the Powerchip does not need to be programmed as conservatively as the stock software.

Modified Spark Advance

In the old days the ignition distributor controlled the engine spark timing. Changes to the position in the distributor will result in changed ignition settings, and is a good method of tune-up for older vehicles. Modern engine ignition is controlled by a series of tables or maps. These maps give the engine any instructions required to operate, under ALL load and rev per minute access points. Similar to the old systems, advancing the point of ignition within a cylinder results in increased power and toque. It is important not to advance the timing beyond the capabilities of the fuel used, or else detonation can occur. Peak kilowatts are achieved when ignition timing is set as close to the point of detonation as possible, without exceeding it. This is the primary purpose for asking the octane rating each client uses most frequently, so that the software is set to the correct level of ignition advance for the fuel used. The end result of ignition advance changes is increased power and torque, resulting in better acceleration and various other driving benefits.

Octane ratings

The Powerchip is designed to get the best from your engine, and to do this it is recommended that you use a high performance fuel. When ordering your Powerchip upgrade, your Power Consultant will ask you for the octane rating you would like your program to run. The advantage of using better fuels can be explained in further detail by your consultant. Powerchip Gold is designed to run on fuel with an octane rating of 95 (Premium Unleaded, Caltex Vortex, Ampol Gold). Powerchip Gold 98 is designed to run on fuel with an octane rating of 98 or higher (Shell Optimax, BP Ultimate, Mobil Synergy 8000). We highly recommend that you use the highest-octane fuel available to you.

Our Satisfaction Guarantee
Every Powerchip sold in Australia comes with an 14-day money back guarantee. This ensures that the Powerchip will live up to your expectations, not ours! If for any reason you are unsatisfied with the Powerchip, you may return the Powerchip to your place of purchase for a full refund of the purchase price (not including shipping and handling, installation and removal etc.). Our satisfaction guarantee offers you total peace of mind, and makes the purchase of the Powerchip risk free. By purchasing a Powerchip you have nothing to lose and everything to gain!

Servicing

In a regular service it is very unlikely that the dealer would perform any tasks that are additional to those required by the manufacturer. The dealer tool may be able to detect that modified software has been fitted to the vehicle. The vehicle can still continue to be flashed by the dealer with any software updates that become available. The Powerchip does not 'lock out' the dealer from reflashing the car. The Powerchip software does not make it any different to service than a vehicle with out a Powerchip. All 'Fault Codes' continue to able to be read, just like a standard car

Warranty

All Powerchip upgrades come with a three-year, unlimited kilometer warranty, for the original purchaser, which means that if anything occurs to the Powerchip in that time, we will replace it without charge to you. The terms and conditions of the Powerchip warranties can be viewed in detail on our web site at http://www.powerchipgroup.com/products/warranty.asp

Value for a Lifetime

The investment you make in the Powerchip will last for as long as you keep your car, and for most of our customers, that is normally for 3 or 4 years. So when you consider the benefits of the chip over a number of years, it is not a lot to pay for extra performance you will probably use nearly every day. As a percentage of the total cost of your car, the Powerchip works out to be very cost effective. Also, with the Powerchip, you can expect your car to command a higher price when it comes time to sell!

Cost Effectiveness

As we all know, modifying late model vehicles is not a cheap exercise, however, when you look at it on a kw per dollar basis, the Powerchip comes in ahead of any other modification you could make to your Alfa Romeo. Have a look at just how well the Powerchip stacks up:
