Chip testing :D

[greenfoam]

Well here's the story,
I put new spark leads on my car today and then tried to run some 1/4 mile testing, ended up running 14.8 and 15.2 which are about the slowest the car has ever run. But I have serious wheelspin issues at the moment so that is probably why. So anyway I was convinced the current chip I'm running must be a dud even though it was running 5.95-6.2 today doing 0-60 when I could get traction. So I've started again on a new chip, I'm using a stock standard VS Clubsport chip as the base which I tested just now and run consistant 6.65's 0-60 mph with no wheelspin this has me a bit interested in just how bad the stock chip is so I'm going to try that out now I'll be back

[greenfoam]

Ok
I'm back
I run 7.14 first up 0-60 with the stock chip BAAP. Then with a blinder of a take off, best I've done for ages, you know the ones with just a slight skip of the wheels 6.88, then a another magic takeoff with slight wheelspin 6.86. That's about as good as it was going to get with the stock chip. Hmm so yeah big improvements to be made with the V8 tune you are lucky to see .25 on the stock V6. P.S car has CAI + hotdog on the back, No resonator apart from that she's all stock. Get yourself a VN or VP executive 5 liter, change the timing add a bit of juice and instant fast car, can't wait to see what happens with a decent exhaust

greenfoam can i send u my old chip and u ahve a play to make me a powerchip....can be as much as a pig on fuel as it likes i just want to see if i can get any more power gains from my engine
pm me with your postal adress and ill get something organised

[greenfoam]

Email is away to your hotmail, also you can talk to me on MSN if you want

greenfoam, what sort of fuel consumption are u getting from your 5ltr?

greenfoam, what sort of fuel consumption are u getting from your 5ltr?

Crap there's something wrong with it, I'm only getting 14liters per 100 k. But I may have found one of the problems today because I got new spark plug leads and that gave it much more go at part throttle, made no more top end power but at very small throttle openings like for highway cruising, it's much stronger so time will tell (obviously today was not a good day for fuel ) (or tires) but at least I don't miss my driveway anymore after stalking that SS the other day from my video

Is that on the highway or city? Does the vp 5.0L have lean cruise?

[greenfoam]

Mostly highway, the VP has no lean cruise but I'm running the VS chip anyway with lean cruise enabled. But yeah since my car has other issues it doesn't make any difference what chip I run at the moment but I'll get it sorted one day. Chuff is running the lean cruise chip with good results in a car that's working properly

Mr Greenfoam is there such a chip that will make my VP v6 auto more economical?
I do a lot of hwy driving
Thanks

[greenfoam]

Brian you should be able to bring the VP up to VR fuel usage specs just by using the VR manual chip converted a little bit to run on the VP auto, it has lean cruise

Many thanks for you reply I must try and find a Man VR chip.Then get it modified.Where in Melbourne would you suggest Greenfoam?

Thanks again

hey greenfoam im planing on puttin on my supercharger sometime soon on my 3.8 v6 buick, you know if we need any chip for that so i dont need a dyno tune?

or will i not need one ?

If you run the 6 psi pulley and super 6 injectors you can just burn a copy of vp_lukes tune, otherwise invest in a eprom burner and we will help you get it tuned right, should be very easy on 3 psi

You dont need a manual VR memcal, just any VN-VR chip from the wreckers then you reprogram a VR manual eprom, changed a little to suit the VN

[Frd_thmsn]

Could you list the sorts of changes people have to make to make a VR binary compatible with a VN when you get time.
That would help a lot of the people new to this .

Just the basics , and the F60 settings to make it compatible with the VN fueling. I know that trying to run a VR F60 and F1 spark table in the VN makes for a grandpa car .
Here's a couple off the top.

KSPDSENA Road speed pulses.... change to 1250.05 ( The signal is divided by 5 on the VN not on the VR.
KTCCTMPL TCC temp .... change to 44 deg
KOPTFLG4 Alarm word 4 bit 0 .... change to SET.

[greenfoam]

Those are all you need to make it run right , after that you can give it some more VN like timing for a bit more poke and less VR grandpa smoothness

Greenfoam.... have you got some tips on how to get best city and highway fuel economy out of my 2000 VX V6 auto....??...
