VR6 0 Posted November 3, 2004 I thought it would be a piggyback chip rather than a piggyback ECU? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henny 0 Posted November 3, 2004 K-star is the piggy-back ECU for K-Jet cars Tom... :roll: As far as I know, you're correct Adam Darby, K-star isn't manufactured anymore... I've seen a few go through on ebay for anything between £30 and £150 depending on how well the advert's been written... ;) Good luck! :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kevin Bacon 5 Posted November 3, 2004 Alternatively you could try a Datek piggy-back system which Stealth sell. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VR6 0 Posted November 3, 2004 2 posts off topic? Plus yours of course ;) Oh, and this one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henny 0 Posted November 3, 2004 Add this one too, but seeing as the question was answered in the first couple of posts and an alternative has also been suggested by Kev, is it really a problem?!? :roll: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vr6 t 0 Posted November 4, 2004 Adam i have a k-star piggy back brain for sale it cost me over £500 2 years ago and i have the disc and coms lead it was on my 2.1 16v corrado Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aide 0 Posted November 4, 2004 Dazzy, do us all a favour and take your miserable, moaning arse somewhere else. Ouch :!: back on topic;look out for VSAM as well - piggyback chip like Kstar Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted November 4, 2004 I think C&R still do VSAM don't they? Only snag with that is it has to be internally mounted as it's not waterproof..... but it does the same thing as K star. VSAM-Pro is the same as Kstar KS301 if you want fuelling controlled aswell. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aide 0 Posted November 4, 2004 CandR have stopped now, and handily thrown their programming software and leads in the skip :roll: along with the system plans so you can't replicate. There is people about with the software though, so long as you have the lead! I've got the regular Vsam, and am guessing mine has a programme written into it all ready from the effect it has when used with optimax :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted November 4, 2004 Yeah I've got the K Star software... comes on a floppy :lol: Unfortunately K-Star and VSAM became obsolete when Optimax and SuperUnleaded were introduced :? The Pro and KS301 are still worth having though. Shame they killed them off. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
