Help with Memcal Information (1994 VR Exec)

[neblol]

Ok so I have been looking around on ebay for memcal chips to put into my car and came across this, (I know it wont increase my power by 13-15kw lol!)

Holden Commodore vr auto v6 stage 3 performance chip - eBay Engine Modifications, Performance Parts, Car Parts, Accessories, Cars, Bikes, Boats. (end time 29-Jul-09 02:58:35 AEST)

What im wondering is, will it fit straight into my VR without any changes?
Can someone please clarify what ''stage 3'' means?


(Note: my car already has a few mods done to it including, 2.5'' exhaust, pacemaker extractors, CAI, k&n air filter etc, bellmouth out,, etc)

first off, what this guy is selling isnt an entire memcal, its an eprom. When anyone calls a memcal "stage 3" my bullshit meter goes off the scale. Even on an aggressive tune, if the car is stock, at best you'll see a 15kw gain, and you'll be forced to run 98 octane because the spark mapping has been changed to dangerous settings. you cant tune to "stages" because you either run a stock tune, or you run the best tune you can, for the mods you have.

with this particular sort of chip as well, you need to solder it in to the memcal yourself and the chips they use are cheap and nasty. Get someone like Greenfoam on this forum to make you one (ebay user: nicefrog) and he'll either reprogram yours custom made to your cars mods, (not just generic ebay tunes) or send you a WHOLE memcal, not just the bloody socket and chip. (which is worth about 2 dollars without a tune)

This is a Cut and Paste from Foamy's Ebay:

I'm charging much less than people normally do but I really think this is a fair price as it doesn't take long to do and I'd rather do lots of them for cheap than a few expensive ones since that just makes the 304 go down in history as a faster car than it otherwise would have and I like that idea . It's driving me insaneeeeeeee seeing everyone spend 30 50 even 100 dollars on eproms alone (if all you want is a eprom and socket I'll sell you one for 20 bucks) I see people charging 150 for a reprograming the memcal you have got to be kidding me. The tunes I have are as good as it's going to get, so DON"T pay that much for something that takes such a short time to do, you're only wasting money you would be betting of spending on some fresh veggies so your power to weight ratio improves at the drags .

Haha, cheers heaps for that man. I was skeptical of the KW gain but I didnt know that it wouldnt work properly in my car etc. Ill get in touch with the bloke you mentioned and see what he can make me up.
