ChippedUK remap...

Daz

Like with mine john....was 155 at chipped 2 years ago.....since then ive added a 200 cell cat,2.4 manifold and ported tb...and its at 164 now....

whereas me i got the same spec as Daz, but got 171.5bhp, even with 19" wheels (i reckon they lost me at least 75bhp!!!) lol

20BHP seems a bit optimistic to me, although I'd love to be wrong 😃

I spoke to a "lad" there the other week as they're local to me, but I can't say he filled me with confidence. I don't think it was Jason I spoke to - did you get a good vibe from him? I only ask as it would be good for me to go there rather than a long trek to Blackpool or Norfolk.

In relation to the above I visited Weston performance in Solihull (5 mins from where I work) for a rolling road session. I got talking to the chap there that does all their mapping and it became obvious he REALLY knew his stuff; unfortunately the software tools he uses don't work with the Z22se ECU 🙁 Anyway, I asked what he thought about chippeduk and whilst he didn't exactly say anything bad about their work he did offer to check what they did.....

Out of all of the recent dealings about getting the 2.4 T/B to work, there is one thing that is crystal clear, the 2.2 Delphi ECU hasn't been cracked yet thus making any alterations minimal. This is where I find it difficult to understand the gain of 20bhp. Those kind of gains are usually seen on forced induction engines??

i totally agree with you, it would be great to gain 20-30-40bhp with a remap like FI, but i cannot ever see the ecu being capable of more than 15-20bhp at most.

190 should be achieveable as didnt zaff get 190 with out the 2.4 mani notsure.gif

i reckon u'll be at around 185-190bhp after the work has been done. around 10 from cams and the rest from remap.

realisticly a remap can never give 20 bhp without forced induction but what it WILL do is make all the mods work together better so ur power curve should look awsome up to the rev limiter and nearly no flat spots.

i dont trust rolling roads much anyways, they are more of a standard to compare before and after then to find out what real bhp an engine is pushing out.

What u could also do to see a realistic change is to time ur 0-60 and 60-100 time 10 times and then take the average
and after the work has been done do that again.

I don't doubt about the gains that can be had by remapping the ECU. The biggest problem is getting the changes to stick, so to make sure the long term fuel trims don't negate them.

I've had the ECU chipped years ago, results go away after about 30 minutes of driving. Did a quick test just after the remap and compared it with before (figures are at the wheels and for an otherwise completely standard engine):

So there are gains to be had, but it really depends on how well people know the ECU.

A real LIVE remap should be best. First flash in new software that will disable the learning, or at least make sure fuel maps are not affected, and then put it on the rollers and remap it at different RPM's. That should be the best way...

I totally agree Johnny

some parameters have been altered, but no one has rewritten the entire map on a z22se ecu

If they could then I would be the first in the queue..........

i did at the chipped uk meet (unless they were havin a laugh notsure.gif ) shame i cocked the car up
for the last meet then it would have been proven.the thing i cant understand is why Johnny's car isn't nearer
the 200hp mark unless its just the exhaust manifold dunno..

Lightning_Coupe

My money says chipped UK's power measurments are somewhat optemistic and that Johnnys power figures are a fair bit nearer the mark. Id have thought that evident when you compare all the results from the courntey RR day we had, standard cars running standard power and not 10 or 20bhp up because they've "got a good one" lol.

zafman

well i certainly think my results were too high at Chipped as i had only seen 178 before but johnny's car showed
less power there than at courtenays dunno.. plus there were a few standardish cars running standard power
