how easy is it to fit a 165 chip. Seen them for £175, but want £100 for fitting on top ( £275). Isn't it a case of just plugging it in?

:cool:

by **MadcatCraig** on Thu Dec 20, 2001 9:30 am

Nope not just a plug on

they put ure car on the rollers and tweak it ! so its just right !

by **EvilFranky** on Thu Dec 20, 2001 9:38 am

Yeah, it needs setting up on the rollers mate.
Had mine done for about 4 weeks now and the difference is awesome, even from just a 165 chip.

what boost you running and did you uprate your actuator.

:grin:

by **EvilFranky** on Fri Dec 21, 2001 3:31 am

13.5 psi, 167bhp, 150 lbft of torque at 3500rpm through till just under 6000rpm.

Brung a -32 actuator with me, but they said they couldnt fit it, cos something was missing...so used the standard one and it holds the boost well :grin:

BTW, i cant get any grip from the front wheels at the moment... :rolleyes:

by **gooner boy** on Fri Dec 21, 2001 5:02 am

im losing traction now :sad:

damn weather, ruins all the fun!!

you got standard turbo to hold that boost?, what other mods you got. Been told boost is about 12 psi on a 165 chip!!!!!

:smile:

by **EvilFranky** on Fri Dec 21, 2001 10:25 am

Right, its running on the standard turbo...K&N induction kit, Magnex exhaust.

What psi u run at depends on wether u can get enough fuel through those injectors...

They tried to set it at 14.5psi, but it was pinking :sad:

by **wiacek** on Fri Dec 21, 2001 11:53 am

14.5 psi is a bit too much for the standard t2 so keep it sweet

by **chumkila** on Fri Dec 21, 2001 1:27 pm

guys dont be driving around to hard with that much psi or you'll soon be needing major engine work as your engines are pratcially standard.

Evil Franky who did you go to, to fit the chip?? i cant believe they tried running it on 14.5 psi!! :eek:

Anyone who want a perfect rolling road set-up and chip i cant recommend TDI - Torque Developments International high enough. They are THE DADDY's! :grin:

by **KEVFRST** on Fri Dec 21, 2001 1:38 pm

13psi is right 4 a 165chip, the also adjust the standars actuator. Me is runnin 165 conversion with magnex 4" stainless system, panel filter + NGK plugs. :wink:

If u doin conversion yourself make sure u put Duck tape on the plug in chip so it dont WORK LOOSE!!!

i'll let you off THIS time! :grin:

by **EvilFranky** on Fri Dec 21, 2001 1:53 pm

You 'HAVE' to adjust the acuator...thats what sets the boost pressure...not the chip itself.
All the chip does is increase the boost limit from 10 psi to about 16 psi, and adjusts the fueling to compensate.

by **KEVFRST** on Fri Dec 21, 2001 2:04 pm

OOPS, what its meant 2 say is "they also adjust the actuator" me meaing is they being "CASTLE PERFORMANCE" who done the conversion. :smile:

Hello people, I'm new here. Just gotta say, I've been in Frankies car and it is fast as hell. I drive a Calibra 2.0i and I thought that was fast....but I poo myself when I'm in his car. The new 165 chip is awesome (really 170bhp), pick up is incredible. Definately considering an RS for my next car. :grin:

by **KEVFRST** on Fri Dec 21, 2001 4:41 pm

erm........no........the chip does not set-up the fuelling of your car. A 165 just removes the over boost protection and not much more. The fuelling has to be set on a rolling road at idle and at full load.

cheers :smile:

If you chip it you want to do more to the car ALSO!!!

RELIABILITY IS MY NEW NAME!!!
