power made by vn with cop chip?

[betts]

my mate has just bought a 91' VN V6 with VX SS rims and a police chip for $2500. in great nick and goes like a bat out of hell, but im a bit skeptical of the price. anyway. he took me for a spin today and it really hammers, the pick up on it is insane! im wondering if anybody can tell me how much power a stock vn 3.8 makes and how much is added when the coppers put their chips in? thanks in advance

[stocky]

a whole 0kw is added with the cop chip

[betts]

ok. so what benefit does the chip provide?

[Just_Ice]

The Urban Myth strikes again....

[betts]

hahahaha hope i havent started another one of those "does this chip work?" threads

[1991_Vn2nV]

There is no such thing as a police chip mate.

Its got great pickup because its a VN Faster than the VR's you are used to.

[betts]

oh ok well i went out just then with him and put our cars to the test ( in a controlled environment of course) and he didnt stand a chance, so im starting to think you might be right mate

[Doctor Bob]

the car will actually slow down when the police put their chips in due to the extra weight of the chips, paper, salt & vinegar.

do a search for "Cop Chip".

interesting the cop chip phenomenon...

I used to work with a bloke who claimed the same thing.

He had a crapped out VN with 350,000 on it.

He could still do a burnout at 3/4 throttle....

He went over the quarter mile and was a little embarrased (16.4)

I've stated before and been told that i'm wrong but i still think that first gear is a different ratio from a vn to a vs. My vn would do 60 in first while my vs would do 70. I might be wrong but vn at least feel like first is different.

[Not_An_Abba_Fan]

"cop chip" that would be the salt 'n' vinegar one........

[calais_cruzin]

My vn would do 60 in first while my vs would do 70. I might be wrong but vn at least feel like first is different.

Yea ino what u mean, the VS will go an extra 10-15km in first compared to a a VN.

The most ive pullled outta mine was just b4 65km n my mates would go just that lil bit more b4 shifting.

There would have to be a small difference in the ratio for that much of a difference.


\/ \/ \/ \/ DAMM U STOCKY...she must be pingin at that rev

[stocky]

70-80km/h in first gear in my VN

[EvoVIIIJDM]

cop chip damn that would fly........ not.

[betts]

mmm ok well i guess youve convinced me. his vn would be making the same amount of power as mine because theyre the same engine, so 130kw right?

[97 SEN]

yeah its about 130. might be 127 or 132 i used to know al of them.

[azkwazere]

WRONG!

You've got a heap of tings that affect power-

Engine Age (relats to 2nd)
Engine Condition
Last Service
Gear Box's
Gear Box conditions
Tail shaft conditions
Diff condition
Joint condition

To list a few...

Then theres speed-

weight
suspension
all of the above
gear rations

etc.........

nah, a cop chip is when there isn;t anything wrong with your ride and they walk around witha night stick and "chip" your tail lisghts so there a defect...

aZk.

[Mr Squishi]

You should have about 5 kw more than him, if the unofficial holden archive isn't lying.

[1991_Vn2nV]

Series 1 VN is 125kw
Series 2 VN and VP is 127kw
VR is 130kw

I am selling these "Cop chips" along side my collection of Snake Oil.

[14secvp]

Cop cars in nz got the hsv3.8 chip

[1991_Vn2nV]

Cop cars in nz got the hsv3.8 chip

I dont think so... But even so the SV3800's were only like 132kw

[JD]

a whole 0kw is added with the cop chip

SICK! a whole 0kw that converts to a whole 0hp!

and that means if i did a quater mile and got say 16.0 that means with the cop chip i'd get 16.0 man thats faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaast!

i gotta get me one of them, **** i forgot vc, no ecu.

DAMN!

most engines perform like they are running amazing just before they blow.....

[JD]

stock vn make 125kw but they still have the quickest 0-60 to date ( including ALL alloytecs ) so they do have great pickup.
