Performance Chipping

[Andy]

Is it really worth it?

Can anyone lend me their personal experiences? I'm about to receive my company bonus and it's going on ICE or chipping and a Viper.

Please, discuss.

Cheers pmurray.

I'm afraid that thread still didn't help me make my mind up though. vbmenu_register("postmenu_1352934", true);

Put it this way. I had both a chip and a Viper fitted to my 172, and the Viper has been removed and thrown away and the chip is still fitted. I wasn't able to do a before and after dyno of the chip, but it felt better with the chip fitted right through the power range, and I got measurably better quarter mile times. Whereas with the Viper I was able to dyno it before and after, and the dyno said the difference was so minuscule that with all the extra noise it generated I pulled it off and threw it away. Of course you make like and value more noise.

Do a search for SMT6, it's a remappable piggy back ECU and seems to be pretty good, kinda expensive though (£500?) and £150 for each remap.

PM AndyGDI (?)for details would be a good way to start, he's very helpful.

smt6, combined with a few other goodies (BenR's inlet manifold) will see a good improvement in the drivability of the car. Well worth the money IMHO.
