anyone tried one of these
-
personaly no and no i wouldn't buy one i would do my home work on here 1st and see what comes up i think the boy is the one who has the info on the chips ect (if im wrong sorry) there are a good few on here that have used chips ect
-
Mmm snake oil ;D
-
I'd rather buy from a member on here + there's three chips to choose from :y
-
I had my dog chipped, its no faster.

what do you mean 3 to choose from? 3 different fueling maps or just different ecu types

as highlighted 3 different maps. :y

I notice the seller states that no other mods are required, has he not heard of the inevitable AR25 self destructing gearbox episodes. :o :o

sounds good, i usually set the 325tds up with a chip then a boost controller set to 18psi for best results, so im sure the omega will be somewhat very similar as is same engine
-
Check out the sellers feedback - hes got plenty mostly positive - you could even contact one of his previous buyers via ebay to see how they went on!
-
well iv pm'd ''theboy'' in regard to chipping so hopefully be able to sort something out there, keep it in house ya know
-
why don't you start with a BMW ECU, should give around 20BHP gain. The same engine in the BMW has around 150 ish BHP I believe.
You can maybe get cheap from the scrap yard.
-
BMW designate this engine as the M51D IIRC; with 143 BHP on tap as standard.
It's detuned to 128 BHP in the Omega.
A 'Plus 5' chip (5%) gives you roughly 150 BHP therefore.
Cost's around 70 quid from 'our man' - see also:

Nope, no electronic boost control on the Omega (there wasn't on the same lump in the BMW and Ranger Rover either). Boost control only appeared with the 2.5 common rail :y
-
For further info on the boost control, its totaly mechanical.
There is an actuator for the waster gate on the turbo which is operated by the inlet pressure on the turbo output.
Bending and/or adjustment of this actuator arm might give similar results.....just be careful!

IIRC a 'Plus 10' chip (at least) can be supplied from the same source.
However, from personal experience, I found the Plus 5 chip perfectly satisfied our needs.
