chipping a 172 mk2

[petee]

anybody chipped it?? if so any good? I will book it in if enough people reccomend it. mines standard in every way as I dont like add -ons

 

[badinvincible]

do a search in Exterior, Power, Mechanical, been done loads before mate

 

[dubster]

well worth the money, the extra torque is nice have chipped my last few cars first thing i would do if i was you

The gains are minimal from chipping a standard engine in my view. There isnt much you can do to a N/A engine regards chipping to get more power.

You can go with a few options though first is a custom add on chip ie SMT6/7 which is made for your cars engine (each engine is unique) which is £500.

Then there is Chip wizards who charge £350 and increase the redline to 8k as well as the normal tunning.

Otherwise there is the R-Sport ECU which gives the 8k redline but isnt custom made so wont get max power for £220 I think.

Apart from that there is superchip who charge £250 I think not sure of the gains though or of a change or redline.

Also Dastek. Ive got one sitting here im going to have mapped once my cars had a few other things done .. Induction, Cams ..etc.

Superchipped mine - noticeable increase in torque, so it really pulls very well especially around 4-4500 rpm. No change of redline, but find myself driving with the torque rather than power, if you know what I mean, ie I rarely go beyond 6000rpm. Rsport one seems most favoured though, and the one with decent bhp gains and a higher rev limit

Dastek or smt6/7 are the way to go if you want the best results, they need setting up on a rolling road hence the higher prices.

smt6 got me loads of low down torque (+20nm)

I have a 63mm catback system and decat as well.

PM George16v, hes got a Sanspeed or something chip and talks very highly of it! I can confirm that it is fooking quick as well!

Is this the second version software Ive heard that SUperchip have anothe rmore recient map for more power and more revs?

Never seen your car at work though keep my eyes pealed though maybe one day.
