My engine chipping experience so far

[REV Find all posts View Profile Close REV]

Hi Sambo150,

The chip is in and what can I say except YYYEEEEHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!
Very very early days I know, but as soon as I started to drive I thought I could feel it.

Went around the 1st corner and the right foot gave it a bit and.......... well lets just say that it took a fair bit to get the heart rate back to normal.
Definitely no doubt at all, it grabs you & throws you back into the seat.

It would be too one sided a race & now I have to be carefull of getting tickets & photos along the way.

However you are welcome to pm me & we can meet & I'll show you so you can see & experience it for yourself.



Cheers
REV

Thanks for the feedback.

Hi Robert,

Thank you for your work & committment to your product, especially via this forum, it has been as others have found it, an interesting read.

I have the "Chip it" chip & EGT installed & as I have said, it is very early days yet but there have been no issues whatsoever, from the word go.

In fact my mate (who is a distibutor for another brand of chip) said that it is and I quote " actually a very good set up" unquote.
So well done Robert.

You have stated on this forum that while there were problems with the 150's & that you believe that you have rectified this & there has been no indication, during the fitting or driving since that there is. a problem. :-D 8)

Thank you
Lawrie

Hi Lawrie,

Where did you get the EGT display mounted?

I am trying to find some photo's of where people have installed theirs on a 150.

Cheers

Hi Dave,

Due to the ABR battery monitor, uhf radio, scan guage, tyre pressure monitoring system &spotlight, compressor & air locker switches already being installed I didn't have many options left.

The egt is mounted on the side of the console beside the cup holders.

Cheers

No worries, are you able to post a photo by any chance?

I am running out of spots to mount one also.

Hi Dave,

I ended up raising the EGT up from where it was & is now out of the way,

[img=http://s15.postimage.org/64e54fsnr/_30_06_2012_029.jpg]

where it is now I can see the temp readout no problems.

I put some good double sided tape (labeled as automotive tape) on the sticky velcro patch supplied with the EGT, as it had been moved a couple of times and wouldn't stay there. I can report that it is behaving now.

Update on the chip.


It's been a week now & no problems whatsoever & is using about 1.5 litres per 100k less than pre chip, easy! And thats mostly around town.

Still have to resist the temptation to plant the foot at the lights, as the looks on other drivers faces just about make it seem worth it.


Cheers

Lawrie
