They are really focussed on racing applications so dont expect any plug in beauty any time soon.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gareth Member 71 Member For: 22y 1d Posted 22/01/04 05:41 AM Share Posted 22/01/04 05:41 AM Just thought you guys may be interested.I had my Powerchip enhanced XR6T dyno'd this week, at long last.If I knew how to I'd copy the image to the site...Max power was about 275HP at the wheels at around 4500 revs. The biggest concern was the fuel mixture was really rich at high revs (11:1), and that the power actually decreased as a result of this.I don't seem to get much joy from them as far as after sales service is concerned!

Gareth, Is your car an auto or manual ? The 275hp equates to just over the 200KW ,you would have to disappointed with that. that's the problem with fixed non tuner adjustable chips you can see where the problem is though you cant rectify the issue.

I'm currently talking to one of your dealers as I'm so dirty with powerchip's lack of service (or care) I'm going to ditch it. I actually just wish I'd not gone that way in the first place!

To the best of my recollection you were one of the first to get a power enhancement, it was quite a while ago now wasn't it! So you've not been enjoying your upgrade it would seem.Scotty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I have blown my warranty anyway, I figure I might as well "go the doctor" .RegardsGareth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this thread has been nicely hijacked by allwe want to keep this thread open because it has been around for a long time and has lots of usefull (on topic) informationplease start up new threads for new specific topics/issues/problems ...no doubt you think you all are on topic, but moderators don't :o this is a CAR forum and the admin/designers have made efforts to provide categories... it is suggested that the last dozen posts may have gone under the topic heading "ADR compliance and possible serious consequences"now that would be usefull for future members and easily found by the site's search engineif any of our members pull up a chair to a thread with popcorn (hi Ken ) then we will take that as a sign that there are probably unresolveable differences between posting members (or sponsors) and things have got to the "complete audience stage" for the rest of us .... we are all here to participate and not just to watchsorry ... but we are getting tired of keeping threads on topic and having to sort out posts and splitting threads so that the information can be useful to other/new members at some time in the future please don't send me any more PM messages re my obvious bias or thread hijacking .... just a Christmas card in early December would be nicelet the moderator bashing commence .... where is that "issue warning button" ? :banghead: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had nothing to do the the aledged hijacking. Now I realise that in the past I may have been guilty on one or maybe two occassions, but I definately didn't hijack this one! Unless of course you count this post ... :banghead: Anyway, DOWN IN FRONT, I'm trying to watch the rest of the entertainment! :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
