4packet Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Would be interested to know how these 'chips' genuinely improve fuel economy. Most of the ones I've seen fiddle with the fuel rail pressure so can deliver more fuel (same injector pulse width) to up the power. The wastegate is mapped against speed/demand so will deliver more boost (not dissimilar to a BPU supra). I've always questioned the fuel economy claims as the trip computer calculates the fuel used based on the injector pulse width and the rail pressure. By fudging the signal back to the ECM from the rail pressure means that the ECM still believes the rail pressure is stock even though it is increased and is delivering more fuel. These comments in no way relate to what is being sold in this thread btw. Just interested to know more about the changes to the map. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Post 20 and 22 dude, you cant argue with a car driving 50 miles further per tank, we have a couple of large organizations about to have their vans reflashed purely for economy.

Josh Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Be careful with this because my dad had his BMW 320d remapped and there was a problem with the air-con so he took it to BMW to sort out. When he got it back it didn't feel as quick as it was before so he called them and they said they reset the ecu when they get the cars in. Make sure it doesn't happen to you.

Thanks for the information. I guess more gains would be seen on turboed cars compared to NAs then... Still trying to sort electrical problems out with my Audi but definitely thinking of chipping it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
