I wonder whether the intake from a Chrysler SRT6/Merc SLK32 could be successfully manipulated on to a 3.2, coupled with tubular manifolds and a (slightly) larger bore exhaust with sports cats and bigger injectors/higher pressure fuel rail

Packaging coukd be an issue as the M112 block is a 90° V rather than 54°

My 3.0l showed improvement above 4.5k rpm, following a chipping exercise

Define improvement?

It's a shame 3.2 can't be chipped 

I have two 3.2's Manuals sitting out the back with upgraded Maps. Chipped, re Chipped, re Mapped, all the same meaning, its just the method in acheving the same result. 

In tunnie-world, "can't be" = "not available for free"

if you have some welding abilities you can do yours ..  seperate throttle for each bank , bigger valves and higher profile cams can bring lots of power even in NA form.. but definitely you will need stronger pump and high flow injectors and a new ECU..  I dont think 3.2 standard ecu can handle all that power..

and as I read those new model standalone ECUs are so well equipped with sensors (they have 400 mips processors) they quickly sense oil and coolant temperature changes and hear engine knocks so its not that easy to bang those modded engines with this new-ish ECU..


assuming you have some oil + coolant inside the engine

Free, I'll remove his ECU for free, but thats as far as it goes, Tunnie, you been eating too many FREE dougnuts at work again.

So if I got a chipped ecu that might improve performance?

[Kate]

Has anyone got any chips for sale?

Or fish even?

My old MFL 3ltr MV6 had an ebay 'knock off' chip and it without doubt improved performance and economy and it did 227bhp on a set of rollers where 2 standard VX220s produced bang on factory power so would suggest fairly accurate.

I did however listen to the horror stories of the ebay chips and went out and bought an M-Tec chip.

This also produced better mpg over standard and matched the power of the ebay version - tested against previous figures on 1 mile stretch of private test track.

This also went on a RR and apparently it was producing 247bhp, which i know isn't right, on a day when most cars were recording figures a lot lower than expected, so can only estimate it was also around the 225bhp. The 247bhp figure was the one shown in the Total Vauxhall report on the RR day

For a relatively small amount of outlay there was a definate improvement in my case

Lol, no my understanding is that it could not be physically done. Sure I re-call posts saying the 3.2's ECU's could not be flashed?

I would draw our honourable little fatty to the below, stating no maps were available. Old threads I admit, however I did not know new ones had surfaced

So to state, I was right. It is not 'Chippable' 

You can flash it, if maps can be found. But as above, previous maps changes gave little or no improvement

When we meet up for our Duel that was planned in Epping Forest a few years back, I'll let you drive my re mapped, chipped, re chipped, mapped 3.2 Manual      .......  before I shoot you.  That way you can decide for yourself whether it makes any improvement.

Should add going on what I've read here, I've driven chipped 2.5 TD's manual/autos massive difference.

But going back few years now, the improvements at the time for 3.2 were very minimal. Happy to be proved wrong 

Any other improvements like mpg or idle?

[Kevin Wood]

There's a very big difference between "chipping" a manufacturer-crippled turbo diesel and a natasp petrol engine, though. In fact, they are common only by name. Tuning will be approached completely differently, and yield very different results.

Have a remap on a 3.2 certainly gets down the road nicely,but then so does my other unmapped 3.2 and 3.0 cars as the points on my licence will bear witness too
