Just wanted to say WOW! And thank-you to those who hooked me up with chip guy.

I've had chipped turbo diesel cars before, so I knew.what to expect, but this is beyond that lol. Great fun when needed.

It's a plus 10, so plenty of poke.

Don't enjoy it too much, I wrecked a brand new set of crappy Avon ZZ3's in 4k when I chipped mine

A fitting end

Whats all this chipping business then guys, I chipped my boys xbox about five years ago or my brother did, but how does it work on an Omega ? can I chip mine ?

[o-meg-a]

Afaik, there are petrol chips available bit the power increase is not as large.

Diesel is easy, more fuel, more air. And it doesn't matter if it runs rich. Excess fuel gets sent out the exhaust it the form of black smoke!

You'd have to have a proper remap with some light mods to get power out of a petrol.

As for tyres, its all good,  still got to wishbones etc and get WIM'd lol.
Gonna need new tyres any way soon lol.

In the mean time lots of sideways fun at roundabouts and junctions lol

Just be careful buddy - you've now got nearly 160 hoses under your right foot!

I understand that you are one of the ones not suffering a 1500rpm stutter?

The chip guy and I are developing a theory about this...

Me neither, 428 ECU, +5 chip.

[o-meg-a]

Correct, a 427 +10,
No stutter and LOTS of power

I'm still getting used to it, but drove one of my favourite roads today and it was just epic.

What's the theory on the stutter then?
Have you asked what spec the models are. Cos mine is a select, pretty much  the base model. No electrical toys to speak of really. Thought it might be some hardware or software conflict ecu wise.

I've got no complaints at all with it. Other than the amount of smoke from standing start lol.
I end up leaving the person behind me swimming in diesel lol.

I figured it was between 150 and 160bhp at a guess.
Is that about right yeah? I know sethsmate just said 160bhp.
Just wondering if every one who knows about them agrees.

Thanks

Does anyone near brackley have a TD with 427 ECU?

[Omegatoy]

GOOD NEWS!!!

yeh some of the later ones suffer a bad stutter around 1500rpm including my new one!!! sob :-/ nothing shows up when doing live data, but we have a few ideas kicking around, will get it sorted!
enjoy the power, when you casn keep off the loud pedal you will find it gives more mpg as well, but that ususally takes around 3 weeks before you get fed up playing with it

lol bet i turn out to be the nearest!!!

You don't count - yours suffers the problem. Ideally after one that doesn't

[o-meg-a]

yeah it is odd, they might have changed something in the later ones.

as for getting bored of it, not likely lol.

I've used up a tonne of fuel in the last 200miles with it lol.
Tis still good fun.

This i'm going to lower the car in the Apex spring kit i found (only one i can afford), and then do wishbones, and any bushes that need doing, then WIM.

Oh and then 17's.

Should handle nicely rhen, its a bit wavy atm.
