Best Chip?

[rocket_ronnie]

Just wondering if anyone knows of any decent chips.....not the ones on ebay lol

McCain Home fries?

if you ve got all of that done to your motor then personally i would go for either throttle bodies and aftermarket ecu or just an aftermarket ecu

Have you tried Westec, I think they were giving a free trial a while back?

 

[acidstrato]

westec only deal with revo, software not available on mk2 ibizas especially non turbo models

dastek maybe? if it has to be a chip? think Dinky dave who had a few mods just got his stock ecu remapped and it made 190bhp on some rollers

 

[EMM4]

Really? Someone recommended them to me

 

[acidstrato]

been a while since i been up there but as far as i know they have no custom mapping equipment of their own, only revo technik

Grant could have got something together though

I've got an AmD custom remap on my Ibiza - but that was carried out 9 years ago when they used to be in a shed in an Oxfordshire village. They do still do them - just over £400 with vat.

I got an extra 10bhp and roughly an extra 15lb/ft, and vastly improved throttle response.

Yea as acidstrato said I had my stock ecu re-mapped with the work listed below. But personally with NOS and the spec you got now I would have thought it would have needed mapping when it was all first set up to get it running right.

With NOS I would say go for aftermarket and not stock ecu remapped. Try DTA from Badger 5, have a look on the DTA site for the spec of the management they produce.

Here's a link for you http://www.dtafast.co.uk/index.shtml

Oh and he's right about Westec they don't deal with the Mk2 Ibiza

 

[rocket_ronnie]

is there anyway of telling if its been re mapped?, i got no proof in the receipt folder. I know westec pretty well coz a friend of mine works almost next door, its a shame they dont do more for the mk2's

 

[jcs356]

is there anyway of telling if its been re mapped?

Looking at the spec list for your car, I would have thought that it would have had to have been remapped to make the most of all the upgrades?

bascially for NOS you need to retard the ignition hugely

I'm not sure the OE ECU will have this flexibilty

hmmm it seems to be running fine when the nitrous is on but holds back from 1k to 3-4k when its of, so could it be mapped for the nitrous and because of that it holds back when the nitrous is not on.......if you get me?
