in the bin is proberly your best bet mate

23rd February 2006, 23:58

or set it alight for a laugh

The chip i belive youve got is a resistor?

Honest advice m8 bin it dont even entertain the idea

24th February 2006, 00:03

thats what i might do mate well lane turbo
have heard of the chip and say its a good thing to start off with on moding my car

thats correct why ask

24th February 2006, 00:06

Who said that? they some kind of tuning place?

It isnt a good thing to start of modding your car m8,only thing it will do is knacker it.

dont go back to that "tuning" place EVER.

Sounds like you have bought the 2p resistor. It wont do anything but make the car over fuel and potentially damage the engine.

24th February 2006, 00:14

why say that mate

Yeah or a remap pm me m8 i can recommend a good place in bury which isnt to far from you

24th February 2006, 00:24

no theres no point, if you must then get a dastek or an ecu remap but there is no point unless you have some other major modifications to map to.

Buying a "chip" or resistor wont gain you 10/15/20/10000 bhp on its own.

ANd i wouldnt consider a remap/dastek unless i had minimum: enclosed filter,exhaust, manifold and a replacement cam(s) because anything lower isnt going to warrant the cost

ya right its around 40 mins
have you had some work done there mate

24th February 2006, 00:39

i have a piper cross air filter
am getting a stainlees but dont
know what name and size to get mate

24th February 2006, 00:51

Whatever one you like the look/price of. MAgnex/scorpion/piper are popular.

But you have nothing that warrants a remap or dastek so save your money.

ALso how much did this "tuning" (and i use the word VERY loosely) place charge you for this resistor?

This thread will be moved to the engines section shortly

Scott, Well Lane Turbo Centre is one of the leading performance company in yorkshire. I have a few mates with big jap motas and they did a rolling road shoot out there which was on rev bob talk show, shown on men and motors. im not saying i know what andrew has bought, but i would take my car to them. may be there thinking about a different chip if they havent seen his!!!

well they have made a mockery of themselves.

From all sounds im correct with my assumption of it being one of the resisitors i cant think of any other "chip" that requires you to fit it only with the IAT sensor and the fact that they spoke well of it makes only more of a mockery. And recommending said "chip" as a good starting mod furthers my thoughts.

Now i cant say for sure thats what they said, im only going on what the lad has said but something doesnt add up.

24th February 2006, 12:47

got to agree as i know well lane, but if they have sold or suggested the resistor for the IAT sensor then that says it all really.

24th February 2006, 22:27

hi scot

thanks 4 the info on well lane though it was a ok mod shop have you heard of this mod chip got it on ebay ok didnt pay alot but feed back say it dose work very well i think it works by when installed it tells the ecu that more air is been used so the ecu tells the injectors and thats were the bhp comes in but as yet cant find the air intake temperature sensor <iat>
the guys email is moho2000@aol.com plus if ya go 2 car mods on ebay its there

catch ya later scott

24th February 2006, 22:41

by the sounds of it mate like all the others say it just tricks the engine into thinkin its cold all the time so injcts more fuel this is bad could lead to bore wash NOT GOOD

24th February 2006, 23:24

thanks got a ind kit getting a stainless how can i get more bhp without spending silly money my cars worth it just ant got the cash

25th February 2006, 01:15

like ratty said well lane is a good company. like you said scott im not 100% sure what the conversation went like either.haha.

just bin the chip mate.

25th February 2006, 14:47

thanks

the chip is binned ya win some ya lose some were do i start now
