Hey All, If you haven't seen my other thread I found this in my ECU! I'm wanting to know if this below would of any value to someone with the knowledge and know how to get it running nicely for their Z....I've been bringing my Z slowly and slowly to factory specs and the Massive 120K Mile service obviously didn't agree with this tune. I know nothing about chips and all that crap...so just let me know if its a throw out or something I can sell on? Its out of my Auto NA and has ran fine up until all my work in the bay...Apparently the company is here in Melbourne but you need a login to view their page and no opportunity to get a login
I'll just leave this one here..... http://performanceforums.com/forums/showthread.php?67261882-Powerchip-are-a-bunch-of-****s
I've seen the bin file from powerchip for the NA Z32.......stock fuel map and 2 degree's of extra timing up top...wasted effort.
Haha funny... Actually it explains the top end ping! It never pinged down low only up top. Could these things have different maps though? Maybe it's tweaked a bit more...
well to be honest i'd say you have another problem because i had 6 degree's advance in my NA and it didn't ping....on 10 though, hard acceleration on a hot day would audibly ping.
His may not be only 2 degrees though. Won't know unless someone scans(?) it and compares it to stock. From what I've read definitely bin it though lol.
Many thanks for that link, Maddie .... what a thread .... !!!! ... read the lot ... Certainly tells you a heap about the business practices and attitude of Powerchip !!! And then the post by "TEEJAY" revealing that Powerchip had to settle a copying claim against them .. all up, an interesting, revealing read.
Yeah my Z feels dirty now it's like it's been properly molested.... Some ape exposed its innards and fiddled with stuff
Wow I'm surprised Powerchip are still going. I bought one of their chips for a VN V6 about 20 years ago. Although I never put the car on a dyno I'm sure that is the only place you could see a performance gain, if there was one. And at $850 was the biggest waste of money I ever spent. Biggest gain that can be made with any Z32 in tweaking the ECU is in the fuel maps. Stock tunes fuel excessively and in my experience have seen plenty of stock TT's hit the realms of 10:1 on the wideband. Raising this to 12.5:1 (13:1 for N/A) will typically give you a 20HP gain at the wheels.
