leew 0 Posted March 27, 2003 I agree with what you say about the delivery and response. To be honest i wouldn't really know what an extra 10bhp would feel like. :? What i do know is that the chip that i recently fitted transformed the car completely it know pulls like a beast and drives, tick overs, accelerates like never before WITH the standard FPR. Another plus point is that if i drive reserved, i still get approx 31mpg :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
G60 0 Posted March 27, 2003 ..i would dubcharged. no cash for that right now. it's gonna be around $1200 for what i want to do........if not more. if i had the stock pulley and chip i'd put them back on for now.. but i don't. :? i just take it easy... maybe i'll wait til i get it on the road and drive up to kk so they can inspect..... this is a stressful affair for me. :mad: ..startin to wonder if i should even be drivin it around without gettin the charger looked at. :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leew 0 Posted March 27, 2003 G60, If you were closer i would send you the ones i have just taken of mine. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dubcharged 0 Posted March 27, 2003 leew: Good on ya, i'm glad you're happy with your investment. There's nothing better than spending money on the car and feeling the difference! G60: Why don't you send your Charger to KK by post? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
G60 0 Posted March 27, 2003 leew: that would be very much appreciated, but it is sort of far. i'd be happy to pay shipping and any other costs you might have. would be a big help to me until i get the chip/charger mess sorted. nice grill if i haven't already mentioned! haha :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
G60 0 Posted March 27, 2003 i would do that dubcharged... but its about the money not the distance. i'd be happy to drive the car up there.. i know it will make it just fine. ..and i want to see how it all goes down. i just don't have the money for the charger right now. or maybe i should push all the other rado priorities out of the way. i was hoping for a new alarm, some tires and new synchros... but maybe i should just do the charger now.. rrr. :x (i'm trying to save for a house and the market here is a sellers market right now...as opposed to a buyers market last year at this time) :mad: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leew 0 Posted March 27, 2003 G60, :D :D :D PM me with your address so i can check out shipping charges. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bazgreener 0 Posted March 28, 2003 Having a 3.5 bar fpr will not make the car use more petrol unless you drive it harder, with a chip mapped for a 3.5 bar the injectors are open for less time when cruising than they would be on a std fpr, my car when driving gently still gives 35mpg :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dubster82 0 Posted March 28, 2003 So, does this SNS Chip do the 3.5 bar thang, or is there anyother mods requiired? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bazgreener 0 Posted March 28, 2003 You have to replace your existing 3bar fuel pressure regulator with a 3.5 bar, about £40 from your local bosch dealer. If you fit the 3.5bar to a g60 that is not mapped for it, then it will drink loads of fuel and run like a sick pig :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dubcharged 0 Posted March 28, 2003 Or you can get the FPR from me together with the chip :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leew 0 Posted March 28, 2003 Why would it drink loads of fuel? Wouldn't the oxygen sensor detect the unused fuel and because of the closed cicuit the ECU would change the duty cycle to suit? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bazgreener 0 Posted March 28, 2003 apparently not, though I`m not sure exactly why, :? Dubcharged ? I know someone who tried it though, he took it off quite quickly Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dubcharged 0 Posted March 28, 2003 Its not under normal driving but its when you go 80%-100% full throttle, the ECU will sense boost/map switch and the induce open loop mode. The fuelling would then go to the preset map value and if using the 3.5bar reg on a 3bar chip, the injectors will squirt more fuel per pulse than was accounted for. :( Oh, and the ecu will have a harder job adjusting under normal driving too since the idle map will be for 3bar fpr too.
