Are Hill power chips any good

[Paul16V]

Been On RSC and a lot of people have been slating Hill power chips saying they make the engine run lean and could damage it.

Has anyone heard of this as I fancy getting one but it worries me

 

[DTWD]

As far as I understood HP chips where the ones to get.

They were all running lean at the RSC rolling road day at John Nobles apparently....

 

[clean16v]

hmm, had mine RRd 3 times and it has run fine, not lean or rich, perfect

 

[klmillard]

NO surly not. I always thought that HP was the place to go.

Maybe thats something to do with the equipment used at John Nobles.

Ive got one fitted at the moment which I have to give back to Craggy soon. As soon as I do Im going to go and get Hillpower to do one for my car. I think Nick Hill is a reasonable kind of bloke and if you have any problems such as running lean, hell take a look at it for you....

I thought you had to be a member of the RSC to view the forum!! That link works so can now see the forum

 

[DTWD]

Well I aint a member, and I cant view it.

Tell a lie, it came up with the login page, stopped for a bit, then just loaded it up. Strange.

What is a lumenition a/f meter?

 

[BenR]

uses the lambda voltage and converts it to visual information on teh air/fuel ratio. Not the most accurate thng in the world since the lambda has a very very narrow band where it works.

To be honest with you Nick has taken a bit of a slating recently, but he did mine and im well pleased with it !!

Mine was RRd at BB and they said its been set up fine as far as they are concerned.

 

[Ray1916V]

if i could only get this dam head off my old engine id have a looksee at what caused my old lump to detonate.

but ive never come accross bolts this tough to get off.

incidentally, the chip thats in my mates car that john nobles wudnt let him run used to run my old engine that detonated.

and b4 anyone says anything, i aint accusing no one of nothing, engines come n go etc etc etc <---clears air

just wud like to see whats what.

well ive a hill power chip on my williams engine along with full exhaust and air filter, and its been rolling roaded at three different places including john nobles (jan 2002) and every place said that it was spot on and was a good engine.

it produced mailto:173bhp@fly">173bhp@fly so ive no complaints about the chips and i would dare say that if someone wasnt happy nick would sort it without any hasle!

 

[BenR]

jsut wondering, not slating nobody, there is no real evidence yet.....

WHat were all 3 outputs at the diff rollers? ATWs please

 

[Adams_16v]
