Hey Nick,nickyboy wrote:Without wishing to sound rude, i've been researching these, and professional bodies advise to avoid these "blind tune" chips as every engine is different, especially modified, and needs individual tailoring. What parameters do this chips work to?
I am genuinely interested, but cautiously.
Not rude at all. I’d agree completely that these aren’t the best solution as you say, each engine is different. But it’s not a £300-£1000 bit of tuning kit + £300 dyno time to map your car. It’s a £20 chip. All the info is there as to what it is and everyone has gained power from these, mostly through mildly modified cars with breathing mods. The minute you get into aftermarket TB, improved intake manifolds, cams, full builds, etc. Then you would need a specific map to your car.
I have (finally) got some before and after dyno results from eDaniel on here – thanks again bud. While his car appears on the face value of it, down on power from the OEM chip base run, the improvements this £20 chip gave were great. I’ve been meaning to post them up in this thread. I’ll make sure I do this weekend for you all to see. I’d say the gains will be slightly more with a healthy lude too. He has the Air / fuel ratio graphs too, and it’s not like some ‘chips’ on ebay that run stupidly Rich, or worse some have very lean parts and the power torque curves I’ve seen on some would make me sick on a roller coaster – very spiky.
Anyway, I’ll get ‘em posted up. It’s up to you what you wish to do.
I say it time and time again – I’m not a tuner, I’m not a business, I just happen to have got ahold of the original Spoon chips and have the capability to copy them for all. I dread to think what Spoon would have charged for this back in the day.
Hope that helps?
Cheers,
Rob
