fueltronics memcal

[Stimps]

Was digging around the wreckers this afternoon and told the bloke that I needed a new computer for my VR II. I only bought one recently which was a ex~police unit memcal #BHND5613 and installed it trying to fix another problem ( long story ), didnt fix it anyway. So this arvo I thought to try again. I told him I needed a later model VR II type. So he said " go have a look in the yard", to which I did but no luck with a later VIN than mine 11/94. I asked him if I could open the computer boxes up in a huge bin he had to find the later computer as I have noticed they have a year date stamped on the side of the memcal e.g. 93xxx,94xxx,95xxx. The bloke said, help yourself.

So through the dumpster of VR Computers I go. After opening the 8th computer ( carfuly putting them all back togeather as I go ) I find a memcal in one that has a fueltronics memcal. Cant miss it, it has a big green sticker on the chip thats soldered to a pigyback board unlike the standard memcals saynig Fueltronics VR Auto.

Itching to get home and surf as much info on the fueltronics memcal, I come up with little, except they cost heaps and Powerchips gives you, the driving enthusiast, a quick, easy way to unlock your engine's extra power. Special software is used to improve air/fuel ratios, re-calibrate timing curves and remove speed limiters. You get more power, crisper response and improved drivability.

I fitted the memcal and all of the above is true. Hows that for pure ar$e. Or call it luck.

And it didnt cost me $700 for a mod chip.

The old fueltronics ones go allright, The rumour is Powerchip bought them out back in the day and that's why they don't exsist anymore

Yeah I would have loved to find out more on the chip and what it is set up for, some info on the net would have been great. Either way I am impresed with the cars performance, midrange & driveabillity now. Also interested to see how it stacks up to a weeks worth of fuel for around town back and forth to work. I am not really a lead foot and drive mostly to the conditions. But when I fitted it I had to try it out, My old VR II has only done 184,xxx ks and is in good nick.

My guess is the find is worth gold for a VR owner who wants a chip. I have no idea what they are worth and what types you can get but in saying all this its definatley made a "noticible" diffrence .

P.S. Thanks for the words Greenfoam, that is reassurance hearing that comming from you.
