bonus_boy

anyone know somwhere i can get one from?

theres a few different ones on ebay, but dont have a clue about them ( unknown names)

looking at getting a 195ofac superchip (as they are well known)

anyone know good/bad chips to look for or avoid.

what prices would i be expecting to pay for one?

will they be a "push in" and then get it setup and mapped.

or has anyone got one forsale...would be greatt!

thanks

P.M stu @MSD

bonus_boy

Ł250 for a nice new one mapped properly for your spec.

COMEDY DAN

What he said.

bonus_boy

to far for me....140miles away.

just rang NMS and there saying ring MSD

also rang up PJ motorsport and they will be able to supply a collins powerchip (any boost) for 235 and setup another 130..., 365quid?

if i can find a 195 chip for around 120quid i can have it setup for another 80/100 at hi-tec so will save me abit of money....

but i just cant find one anywhere

Can you just no mail order one from stu

bonus_boy

but then its 250+setup...350 quid

if i can find me a 195 superchip for 120 and then setup be like 220 which im happy in paying.

unless the 250 was setting up aswell so chip would be cheaper on its own? i dont know.

Dan Cossie

If you do things cheap mate they WILL go wrong..........save for a month or so and save up and get it done PROPERLY..........dont skip corners and go cheap you will regret it

Go to Stu he will do a chip specific to your car.....i have had one from him and was perfect........gettin another one next month too

Wazzzer

no its not, give Stu your spec with all the mods etc over the phone and he will map the chip to suit.

Any car will benefit from having a proper mapping session but this is as close to it as you will get without the hassle and cost (it sounds like that's your main concern)

I had one done for my ERST last year and was very happy with it

The Superchip will be exactly the same (plug and play) but I'm sure Stu will tell you what the differences between his chip and the Superchip are

I don't understand about what are saying with the "setting up afterwards"?

The chip is mapped, you can't change it. The only things you can influence are the fuel pressure and the boost...

Seriously mate, just get it up to stu, 140 miles, whats that? 2 hours each way?

Then it will be done PROPERLY


TBH though, with the lack of effort you want to put in, your car is probably in a right state electrically etc under the bonnet anyway

(no offence intended, its just thats normally the way it works)

bonus_boy

250 for chip
141 for setup @ MSD

i may get that chip from MSD and have it setup somwhere else as its to far to drive.

anybody know any decent places to have to setup properly in the westmidlands?

PJ motorsport? wolvo
hi-tec motorsport? cradley
norris motorsport? derby

anywhere else?

want it setup well but not silly prices?

also been looking at jamsport? and there prices ar sillllly...from 550 for chip and setup etc

also for the rebuild etc 1400 or somthing..

how good are jamsport? better than MSD and NMS!?

Nick.

like I said jadyn.. MSD

Also I would demand some money back from SEVS due to the shonky job they have done on your wiring under the bonnet

You only get what you pay for & if you want nice safe power best put your hand in your pocket..If you want to do it cheap just buy a bleed valve & keep turning its going to do the same as a cheap chip

bonus_boy

if it works it works (at the moment it will do)

but yes i have to agree it aint the best, i will have to sort somthing out with the wiring.

think im going to just have to bite my tongue and pay that extra i think...

and to travel to MSD!!

just ready wanted to find another cheaper way to do it...but i no you cant cut corners with a turbo charged car!!!!!

going to save up a little and head to MSD i think!

Chip

iTrader: (3)

Jamsport are another good option who are more local to you.

bonus_boy

to expensive...more than MSD and NMS etc

bonus_boy

realy been thinking, payed alot for the engine and labour, then it has a -31 actuator on it, and was boost shutting because was letting it run to much boost, so had then turned down and was running well but just wanted it abit quicker around 180/190bhp.....so then thought i want a grs cooler so i got one and now thats fitted, it now feels quite abit slower than it was, and then i had to buy kenlowe fans for it. so will fit them when they arrive, but it started boost shutting as the cooler is letting it boost more and gave it to much bhp for the standard ecu to cope with...

and now its like another 400 quid to get everythink sorted!!

its costing me shite loads of cash, might just get rid of the cooler and have to with do with only around 150bhp.

realy dont fancy spending nearly 400quid more, might just keep an eye out for a 195superchip and get that setup for 200 (for both)

then keep it as it is!!....

Nick.

Should have took it to somewhere like jamsport, NMS or MSD in the first place I think mate..

Personally I think SEVS have charged you far too much and its a pretty shonky job considering his supposid knowledge of Rs cars

Scott R

Look at it this way, whats cheaper a new engine when it all goes tits up from not having the car set-up to the mods that are done on it, or paying for a one off mapping session then have the car run fine for years to come ( as long as you dont fiddle with it)

Stu @ M Developments

iTrader: (12)

Is your engine spec suitable for a 195 superchip?

bonus_boy

as far as i know....

its got a few mods:

efi engine

scorpion exhaust
piper filter
-31 actuator
t3 conversion
grs fmic

i just want the 195 chip to alow the power thats beeing produced as the ecu is cutting in (to much power i would imagine)

it was boost shutting before, but know its boost shutting at around 5psi so to much power i think.

dont know that much about rs cars, as first time ive owned a turbo'd car.
just want to know whats best, what i can do without etc

bud-weis

Doesn't sound like it to me

-31 for a start whereas i'm guessing the superchip is for a 10psi FRST actuator? and probably beiges?

This doesn't sound too good for this car, shonky wiring and not willing to spend money......i predict a MELTDOWWWWWWWN

sorry mate.

The way the loom looks if you took it to the likes of MSD they woulfnt be keen on chiping it untill they knew it was ok..Incase it was chipped & end up spending ages ironing out or fixing problems

carlo

iTrader: (4)

Also if its a 31 actuator it must be a t3 fitted & not the fiesta turbo unit & actuator

bud-weis

That's not too bad a spec for half decent power.....but 195 chip isn't what you want.

Stu can sort you with a good chip, but i suspect from what has been said above you'd need to get the car to him so he can see what state it's in.

is it the car in your sig?

poor wiring can cause so many problems!!

bonus_boy

yes mate its the car in my sig.

what do people think of pj motorsport? its local and gave me a price of 365 for collins chip and setup.

Pics here of the car you can see the way the engine loom is fitted

Not to mention a little T2.
T3 will melt her down mate, its MUCH bigger than the T2 and that cooler has a big effect due to the original being so garbage to start with. Take care with your tuning...

gingeRS

personally, give stu a call, make sure you know what injectors you are running, if wrong, invest in a new set, then get MSD to supply you with a chip and do a full set-up on the car

it will totally transform it, i promise

bud-weis

ooh arrr forgot to mention the ol' T3.



This car needs some LOVIN' i reckon

bonus_boy

gingeRS

the injectors are standard...what can they run up to? bhp/boost?

Dan Cossie

First thing you do it get rid of the crappy blue ones and get yourself some Beige injectors...........then worry about a chip etc

kitchy

just get the car to msd/nms whoever and tell them to sort it out for you, then when its done pay them and be happy

bonus_boy

if i get rid of the grs cooler and kenlowe fans, i could get a half width pace cooler, beiges and setup with just adding a few hundred on top of the price i sell the cooler for...

kitchy

if you already have the cooler and the fans you might aswell keep them mate, just save up for a few weeks and get the car set up properly u wont regret it, u would regret it more if you blew it up

bonus_boy

cant exactly drive it though as it boost shuts at around 4/5psi......

so need it setup asap...

also i was planning on going to trax, and obviously cant if its still like it is!

turned into a small fortune!!

kitchy

all cars cost a small fortune

i should know ive got 2, the RS2000 is undergoing major resto and i have no idea when it will be finished but its costing lots and the other is costing more than i thought

By the sounds of things, you've got sucked into the bhp thing.


You cant start throwing parts at the car to make it faster. Doing things in steps would be your best bet.

matt p

Yeah ok mate, your asking for one of the most respected rst tuners in the country to work on your car?

What do you think Jamie and the lads work for for peanuts so they can keep tight fisted pricks like you happy???
