Thread: Mod Chip

Does it go like a V8?
Does max torque seem to be around 1800 rpm (std) or 2600 rpm (modified)?

Thanks for the the reply Graeme, I don't know about the torque settings. It does seem to go good, did a 0 to 100 k's in about 22sc. Don't know if this is good or not. Will check with mechanic when it goes in for next service.

Thanks
Geoff.

Hi Geoff,

Mines a manual but 22 secs for an auto doesn't sound like its been upgraded. I haven't timed mine, but I do 0-100 every day pointing uphill not at full throttle and half that time seems closer to the mark.

Not upgraded!!!

How much is your Mech quoting for the upgrade?

Knock around 8-10 seconds off that depending on level of upgrade done...

Thanks Tombie,

From memory about $800, what is involved with changing the chip. Does it mean the car will be off the road for a few days if I sent my ECU to you or do you have a change over service.
Thanks
Geoff

if you have a nanocom or have access to one, have a look in the veranda section for tombies info.
no need to send him the ecu anymore

oneday i'll get mine done

cheers phil

Thanks in advance

There is a way if the a work shop have an Autologic or textbook.
The right torque standed at the wheels
204nm @ 2600rpm (apx)
86kw @3500rpm (apx)
After the chip we use (autologic)
380nm @ 1850rpm
102kw @ 2800rpm
keep in mind that these are taken at the wheels.
IF you think this is good improvement a TDV6 has
Standed 420nm and a chiped improvement of 540nm
Our chips are TD5 $900 TDV6 $1100
Happy chipping
