Anyone tried a superchip ?

[Markie]

Are there any negative side effects being shown though? mpg etc?

Nope MPG has got better if anything, considerably better at 'motorway' speeds

hmmmmm so it all seems good   might look again at them  :-/

Hi Phil,

I didnt realise it was your car on the rollers! sorry mate! I got a call from Marc telling me the results and it didnt click, even when i've pm'd yon on vxon

Im glad that you appear more pleased with it.

I would suggest that sure by all means buy a chip from some unknown party on Ebay, but dont expect any back up support should anything go wrong.  

Im available literally 24 hours a day, 7 days a week!

How much are your chips for a 98 3l mv6 these days?

Often helps LOL

Phil, thanks for your feedback on this, makes me feel a little more confident although the chip hasn't materialised yet, wouldn't be supprised if the guy just pockets the money....

By the way, I would guess the 265 torque figure is in Newton metres ?

Cheers

Nope, the torque is in lbs ft.

265nm would be less than standard!

It does sound like a very decent hike in torque then, I assume that must be achieved by using the variable intake valves in a different way than standard as well as a touch more spark advance ?

Better use of the fuel, better ignition timing and general tweaking of the map.

I havent a clue how it works, all i know is:-

Omega MV6 - 228bhp - 262 lb/ft (miss-typed earlier)

Astra VXR - 232bhp - 263 lb/ft

Not bad for a car thats done 123000 miles and needs a sevice  

[Glenn]

Recieved the chip at last, recorded delivery. Gonna stick it in tonight or tomorrow, got a reasonably long trip to do on Sunday so I'll report back on Monday.......

[Glenn]

Stuck the chip in last night, seems to work fine, definately more power from 3500rpm upwards, too early to comment on fuel consumption but certainly isn't worse................. I'm happy

Hhmmm interesting, wonder if these would work on any 3.0ltr........
