i'm not too well up on techy stuff.....so please help

wots the difference between krypton tune and rolling road tune??? Wot will they both do for my money on car???

which do you reccomend? its for a 1.6s 156K on clock

[Stoned]

Thats interesting.

I assumed you could only tune engines on rolling roads that have electronic injection. i.e. plug a computer in and adjust various things.

Or am I thinking Unichips?

[RSFesterSports]

.....and your point is?????

[RSFesterSports]

that didn't answer my questions.....

[Ray finkle]

I think with a rolling road u can as u say set up the ECU (fuelling etc)
and check/change the jets in the carb if applicable

where as a krypton tune is for older cars using a timing light
to set it up ie 10 degrees BTDC and sorting out the carb.

so Mr Finkle...u reckon getting a krypton tune would do my car best? My previous service history show it last got krypton tuned 4-5 years ago....how often does this need to be done????

[Ray finkle]

Depends on the engine really

for example my mark1 xr2 is a x-flow engine which can only be tuned by
adjusting a pinch bolt on the dizzy to set the timing

where as my xr2i has an ECU so it sorts itself out but can be chipped

But i dont know wether your motor has an ECU or simple ignition module
if u've had it krypton tuned before then there's the answer

I would keep oil changes regular (3k) with the high mileage
and make sure your plugs,leads,dizzy and rotor arm are good
or a tune up will probably be a waste of time

krypton tune is just v.basic check and set up, done at idle. Rolling road will check the timing and fueling in all rpm positions to check for engine retarding/advancing to much, and running too rich or lean, it will pick up any faults in the rev range, or a sensor going out of range and sending fueling out etc etc..

thanx for your help guys

i've recently had an oil+filter change, replaced the following:

plugs
leads
rotor arm
coil
dizzy cap
oil breather on rocker
in-line fuel filters

performance been poo ever since....wot could it be???? some days its good and some days its poo for performance.

[RSFesterSports]

by the way snake do u think i would be best off with a RR session or krypton tune?? its a 1.6s

[xr2i 1649]

this is wot i think if ur running std then get a (good )krypton tune as it will
cost u £35 and set it 2 book spec.
i think RR r good 4 turbo car and big mod N.A
but a wast of money 4 a car with small mod

(but that's wot i think)

[RSFesterSports]

cheers thanx for the advice peeps.....keep um rolling in

A rolling road tune is the best way of tuning your car, it's the closest to actual road conditions and tuners can see how your car behaves during different circumstances, then adjustments can be made.

A Krypton tune is your car running at idle and does not let a tuner see what happens higher up the rev range, which is obviously not the best.

I think i will just go ahead with the RR.....see wot happens.....and i'm curious to see wot BHP it is so obviously RR it is.

cheers dude
