Description
Unleash Superb Mid-Range Punch with RaceChip RS
Unlock your stock engine’s hidden potential with the RaceChip RS. Ever wondered why similar models from the same manufacturer have different power outputs? Often, it’s the motor management software, not the hardware, that sets them apart. RaceChip RS taps into this software, safely accessing your car’s performance reserves for an impressive boost at a fraction of the cost.
Even if your car already feels powerful, manufacturers often leave extra capacity to account for different fuel grades and climates. RaceChip RS optimizes within those limits, enhancing power, torque, and acceleration, all while preserving engine safety. Transform your driving experience with the RaceChip RS, designed to make your car more responsive, powerful, and fun to drive.
The RS 5 comes pre-loaded with the optimal map for your engine. With 6 fine-tuning maps, selectable via the Digital User Interface, you can customize performance to match your driving style or engine needs.
Maps 1-2: Eco Mode
Enhance fuel efficiency with increased torque for smoother driving at lower RPMs, while enjoying a modest boost in horsepower.
Maps 3-4: Sport Mode
Achieve a balance between power and fuel economy. This mode delivers noticeable performance gains while letting you assess engine behavior before advancing to higher settings.
Maps 5-6: Race Mode
Unlock peak performance with maximum horsepower and torque. Start with Map 5 to test compatibility and progress to Map 6 for the ultimate driving thrill.
All maps are optimized for performance between 30 mph and 70 mph, delivering the "mid-range punch"—power exactly when you need it for overtaking, highway driving, or spirited acceleration.

RaceChip Testimonials (4.8 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐)
-
I installed the GTS 5 on my Nissan Skyline V37 a few weeks ago, and it’s like my car has been given a new life. There’s a clear boost in power and responsiveness, and it’s smooth, too. It pulls harder and feels more stable at higher speeds. This is a game changer for me.
-
I was a bit skeptical at first, but the GTS 5 truly transformed my Honda Civic X. The throttle response is so much sharper now, and I can feel the power boost every time I hit the gas. It’s smoother on the highway, but when I need the extra punch, it’s right there. Easily the best upgrade I’ve made to this car!
-
The GTS 5 really wakes up my Mazda CX-5! It feels like a completely different SUV, with more torque and improved fuel efficiency. I don’t have to push as hard to accelerate, and it’s especially nice on long drives. The install was easy, and it’s already made a noticeable difference in how the car handles.
-
Putting the GTS 5 on my Subaru WRX VB was one of the best choices I’ve made for this car. I get a great low-end torque boost that I can feel at every gear, and it’s still comfortable for my daily commute. It’s amazing how much more fun my WRX is now.

Was skeptical, but this really does make a difference. To upload updates I have to leave ignition on, but car off. Minor thing really to getting tuning updates. The upside, I noticed much better mpg and more power in my 2023 WRX. Really liking the GTS5 and the XLR5 together. Such a fun combo!
