The innovative XLR

The Brainbox – the nerve centre

The Brainbox monitors and controls all the processes involved in optimising throttle response.

Included in all configurations.

Control option 1: Controller

RaceChip XLR can be controlled conventionally using a newly designed Controller which is connected by wire to the Brainbox. The driver can use the Controller to select any of the tuning stages at any time.

How RaceChip XLR works

The RaceChip XLR is installed between the throttle pedal sensor and the engine control unit. Depending on the XLR’s tuning stage, it either amplifes or reduces the signals sent by the throttle pedal sensor in accordance with characteristics defined by our engineers. The effect is that you can choose how your car reacts to your throttle inputs. 

2 Sport (S, S+) and 2 Race stages (R, R+) sharpen throttle response, speeding up the engine’s reaction times, making it as reactive as even a sportscar’s. 2 Eco stages (E, E+) slow down the engine’s reaction to movements of the throttle. In heavy city traffic and on long journeys, this can help you reduce fuel consumption. You can select N if don’t want or need to use XLR, and your car is back to stock tune.

RaceChip XLR is available for any car equipped with an electronic throttle, regardless of whether the engine is naturally aspirated, turbocharged, supercharged, electric or hybrid.

Simple and easy to understand – installed in a few steps

  1. Unplug the wire from the throttle at the connector.

  2. Connect the Brainbox to the connector/adaptor

  3. Mount the Brainbox on a smooth surface in the footwell.

  4. To control XLR: connect the Controller with the Brainbox, or set up the RaceChip app.

  5. Done! Now – go drive and enjoy!

Chip Tuning and Throttle Tuning by RaceChip

You can experience totally new driving sensations if you combine RaceChip XLR with one of our chip tuning modules. The extra power and torque that chip tuning brings is perfectly complemented by the immediate throttle response made possible by throttle tuning. Together, they push back the limits of driving enjoyment.
