(and yes it did hurt)maybe you could wire a motec's flying loom up into a ford computer plug, so then you can just unplug the ford computer and plug a motec straight in. This way you could plug the stock computer back in for servicing and ford would be none the wiser.but of course there is the question as to whether the Ford ECU can tell if it's been unplugged...Dave.

My dealer has had my car several times lately for different issues & hasn't commented, dealers don't want to kow.Scotty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest squinlan Guests Posted 16/12/03 04:45 AM Share Posted 16/12/03 04:45 AM Powerchip! Two big thumbs down.I don't beleive any off their data sheets. In 2001 I had a gold98 chip fitted to my four cylinder. It actually lost about 30kw at the flywheel. I had it on the dyno with the chip, then replaced the old chip. Bit of a shock for around $1000 dollars.Each to their own though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's a "Boost Box" and "Rising Rate Regulator".Appears that these items give a Stage 1 performance increase (280-300KW) but without a chip mod - anyone gone this route that could share their experiences?

What's a "Boost Box" and "Rising Rate Regulator". Spoke to Tony Rullo about these at the Nats on Saturday. Thanks Tony, you are a legend! :banghead: Boost box sits on the side of your battery box, it ups the PSI to about 8 or 9 I believe, and also fools the computer to think the car is still running factory boost. NINKA runs one of these I think, havent heard from him in a long time though. Rising rate regulator sounds like a fuel pressure regulator, as the boost increases, it adjusts the fuel pressure accordingly.CAPA products are very good, remember Street Tuner is involved with CAPA's R&D.

No problems there, suffice to say that they have no plug-in available at the moment, and the way it is going, they won't have one for some time yet.
