165 chip safe 4 9psi????

Postby festaturbo on Sun Apr 21, 2002 7:42 pm

Got Phase zero chip (165) can this run boosts from 7-12psi? Is it ok to run on a lower boost? I want to run 9-9.5psi. I know the fueling will have to be adjusted. Any comments appreciated

Also anyone who wants to sell std 3 spoke FRST alloys text or call me on 07787996904.

A Superchip 165 will handle 9 psi no problem, my 165 chip is handling 15 psi :wink:

Is there a boost limit on the 165 superchips?

If you're only going to run 9psi the chip will be redundant, the altered ignition curve wont be any good for 9 - take the chip out mate

I used to run my 165 Superchip with 15psi and this was fine! The chip i had took the boost cut to about 20psi ish as my gauge wasn't accurate until after about 18 :)
The rev limit was also removed or was definately above 7000 which you're not really gonna use on a standard FRST lump :)
