Chip I have tested the Australian Chip in back to back dyno runs same van with the ecu's swapped stock chip and auzzie chip. The dyno information was collected and graph with the use of a lap top. torque, HP and fuel air ratio are nicely displayed on the chart the auzzie chip had a much leaner fuel mix all threw the rpm range. This leaner ratio cost HP and could possibly fry the engine. My impression was that they changed the timing only and this gives a nice seat of the pants effect off the line but the chip was down 4 hp threw out the rpm range. I have not tested the new chip that is on the market I am going to do another round of testing in the next few weeks if you might like to do some dyno runs with your race bus let me know and I will see if we can make a plan I will post info on this as it evolves the testing will be done in Rhode Island going faster miles an hour I remain Bob Donalds http://www.bostonengine.com

I know I'm bringing up an old issue but I serched the archives and found no definitive answer to how well it works (or not). The chip I'm talking about is the one always seen on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=33597&item=2470597796. Has anyone installed one and driven it long enough to give a good or bad report? Thanks, Chip 89 Syncro 90 Carat |
