Edit Installed

[XR Impact]

Impact,

after all the comments here etc, what do you think of the Chiptorque guys ??

I was planning to do exactly the same as you.... I.e. take it local on the Gold Coast.....

I'd love to get FISTED  ( waiting for the jokes any second now...... ) but getting home from Wacol will not be much fun......

Wonder how much to have the car trucked there.... ???

anyway... just wanted to know what you thought of them.... I mean, afterall, it seems you just wanted the edit installed and nothing else....  Did you discuss anything with them about it beforehand ??

Cheers

Scott

PS - REALLY want your opinion.... I'm 3 weeks out from going edit......

Hey Scott,

You are more than welcome to come for a run in mine to see the differance and make up your own mind...

Send a PM to me.

My business is in Ernest if you want to come around one day.

You should be looking at around 240ish at the rears with a Custom Tune.

Its not just the revs that count, its the torque created at those Revs.

I'm assuming its an auto, so a simple test of grunt, is that it should bag up the rears in 1st at around 50 - 60 klicks on the bitumen when booted in 1st :-)

Not sure of exactly what power does this, but 240 certainly does

Mine certainly would every time.

Just dont try it in the wet.

So what kw rise should we expect to see from edit only? If 186 to 222 is low, what should it be? And at what rpm was 186 and 222?

Mate I know bugger all about the edit, but for $850.00 which I got as a present I got a powerchip which gave me 219.8 rwkw. Just ask the guys on here how good a powerchip is. Stirring guys, good on you for giving the local guys a go. But mate it is your car and your money, and you can do better than that.

We are now at a stage where edit only cars are running 12 second quarter miles.

222RWKW is a low result, albeit from a fairly low base.

A couple of points

1/ This is a plug and play box

2/ If it is a Herrods could be an older version as not many buy Herrods

3/ 186rwkw for a stock 03 Auto is around the money stock

4/ Plugs not regapped

5/ Plugs gapped and custom tune you will see your 240 - 260 imo

Hey there.

Well I'm back after driving to Gympie for the weekend.

Had a go on a skid pan yesterday, what sh#t load of fun is that, you've gotta give that a go.

Back to my edit. Well after putting 98 ron fuel in it still have not gapped plugs yet. I'm very impressed with power gain. The power still drops of at around 5500-6000

Off the mark she gets up real quick. On the highway at around 120km give it a boot full and away we go drops a gear here comes 6000rpm starts to flutter until gear change up and it keeps picking up I thought I'd better back off at 200+kms I like owning a licence. So If I go to FIST for a custom tune why will they get a higher KW out of it if the valves can not handle over 6000rpm? Can they get higher kws at lower revs or something? By the way I paid $1400. Yes maybe a trip to Brisbane might have been a better result but I thought I'd give the local guys a go. I will eventually do valves. So won't I need to get an custom tune then anyway.

A good tuner will get 240 - 260RWKW for you and the car will be very different to drive.

To answer your question, yes, a custome tune will give you more power lower in the rev range. They do this by getting the fuel, timing and boost right for the outcome that best matches what you want.

Just got mine back from the shop for edit only. I mentioned plug gaps beforehand and he said he'd see if it was necessary. Dyno printout

BF XR6T Manual

Std 185kw

Capa 8psi 235rwkw

Capa 10psi 245rwkw

He said it was starting to run a bit lean on the 10psi so he left it at 8psi. Must say I'm pretty happy with the result!

Now, custom tune, injectors and exhaust?

It's a good point that CSI makes, more often than not way too much emphasis is placed on maximum rwkw imo.

One things for sure the first time your rears let go in the dry you'll be that impressed that you won't care what power the cars running

Your valve springs will hold more then 220 ish rwkw.Mine are over 300rwkw on stock springs.I wouldnt be happy with that result for $1400.Like everyone has said you should be at 240-260rwkw with custom tune which for what you spent at Craptorque you would have achieved at FIST.

Sorry for the sledge to chiptorque but there tune blew my mates motor to bits.100% duty cycle is there moto
