One thing I have noticed since however long ago I started this thread.....How many people have got mods other than APS and Chiptorque?I think the majority of mods are done by APS, and a few people are runing the XEDE from Chiptorque but does anybody use the others? I can only think of a couple that have gone down the Nizpro route.....a few people who have gone capa then got rid of it.....so far no one has gone AVO and as far as I know there is only one member using the dynomotive product (not suprisingly ) I'm sure these are all great products but I would be interested to hear a bit about the not so publicised products out of curiosity.Cheers, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest FatBAt Guests Posted 15/04/04 09:26 PM Share Posted 15/04/04 09:26 PM Man I cant wait for the warrenty period to be up!!! APS has done a hell of a job <Picture: div20.gif> To steal a quote from the opposition I JUST WANT ONE!I don't get it why does everyone one say they will wait for there warranty period to be up? If you modify your car you void your warranty so if something goes wrong you will have to pay for it to get fixed. And once your warranty period is up you will have to pay for anything that needs fixing, so either way the end result is the same, you will pay! So why wait if modifying is what you want to do? Try and explain that to the wife... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninka Donating Members 1,850 Member For: 22y Gender: Male Location: Perth, WA Posted 25/05/04 11:50 AM Share Posted 25/05/04 11:50 AM Great topic. Lets not forget the Warranty issues though.I spoke to my local service manager and he advised that the engine managment system will be able to detect and log any changes to boost etc. (Given that I have a good relationship with this dealer I tent to think this is a true statement!)So if people are planing on making mods and then removing them before a service / warranty repair then you may be in for a shock!? I know most people make these upgrades with this in mind but there will be a few who may assume things...Each to their own..Good luck.my 2c worth.. Very true, but the whole idea behind the various chips/boost boxes is to prevent the factory PCM from seeing more boost than factory tolerances allow, as it will otherwise pull down the boost by other means than the wastegate, I.e. valve timing or ignition timing!The moment the PCM sees overboost, it will pull the boost down to a "safe" level, and only after some time of driving with no further overboost, or after stopping and turning the engine off, and then back on again after a few seconds, will the boost return to the modified setting.I have been running a CAPA 8-9 psi kit for a year now, and had absolutely no problems with the engine or driveline.Only observation is that the engine management appears to change a lot under different conditions, and the boost has to be calibrated very accurately.What I am seeing at the moment is a boost spike to 11 psi, after which the boost stabilises on about 8.5 psi.The car is fast enough to whip Holdens SV8 in manual!Like other posts on the forum, I would also like to get rid of the "jet lag" and have the boost come on earlier and stronger, even though my car is not too bad.
