Subject:      Power Chip for Digijet Vans now available!
Content-type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1

If you missed the Boston Engine post, I thought I would repost with a
different title.

Bob and I have been working on getting some chips from ECUs from Europe that
are for the fabled DJ 2.1l engine (115 horsepower waterboxer).  We got one
for testing and Bob tested it this weekend on a dyno in his '85 Vanagon that
has a 2.1l big valve engine in it.  He got a 20% increase in power on the
dyno (not my seat of the pants, or some fairy tale where we quote numbers
from a book that we have never seen).  This  chip is more agressive in the
fuel mapping and would be an upgrade for anyone with the Digijet system
(83-85 here in the US).  We are going to start selling these upgraded chips
already installed in ECUs for $250 plus your old ECU as a core.

If you felt left out by the Australian chip being an older Vanagon owner,
now is your time for happiness :)  This upgraded chip would be a must have
for any folks out there that are running 2.1l engines in thier used-to-be
1.9l Vans.  You should also see a performance increase in a 1.9l engine but
it might not be as drastic.  You will need to change your timing and mixture
after installing this new chip (something that is required when you do any
kind of performance upgrade).  If you are interested in these chips please
email me or Bob.  I am going to be selling just the chips, while Bob is
going to be selling them with his engines for now, and then in the future we
will probably both be selling just the chips.  The chips are soldered in so
we won't sell the chip by itself, but get in core ECUs and install the chips
in them for you.  We already have a few that should be ready for shipment by
next week so if you are interested let us know.

Thanks,
Ken Wilford
