    Default is this bulls&%$ or real?

    check this out - 95 VS V6 HOLDEN COMMODORE POLICE PURSUIT COMPUTER &CHIP - eBay Mod Chips, Performance Parts, Car Parts, Accessories, Cars, Bikes, Boats. (end time 05-Mar-09 23:04:51 AEDST)

    is this thing real or are they just flogging a standard vs ecu?

    what differences are there with this?

    I think stealthy said that if you need to tell if its a real cop chip, just look for traces of unicorn horns in it :P

    If there ever was a cop chip, from what ive been told they pull them out before the car leaves the police force along with all the other gear.

    there are nothing special about ex cop car ECU's or memcals...
    simple fact of the matter is if this product costs anymore than a second hand ECU from a standard commodore then he's asking far too much!

    I think we need a forum headline:


    POLICE CHIPS ARE NOT SPECIAL NOR DO THEY GIVE YOU MORE POWER!!


    Police pursuit cars move faster than most because:

    A) They are V8's

    B) They are manual?? (someone correct me, i can't remember if they are all auto or some manual and some auto)

    C) Police are allowed to drive their cars faster than anyone if they are chasing someone without anyone pulling them over for it


    They might be tuned, but any tuning done, would be deleted from the ECU when they get sold.

    My mate had a VU S-pac and he said he got a mechanic to plug it in and fiddle with the computer and he apparently found 'police' mode, which was only a digital speedo where the odometer was. It was a little out, like doing the speed alert speedo thingy in VR/VS's

    I think they run different diff ratio, and I have a feeling but I doubt it, a stall converter too?

    Standard 3.08 just LSD, no stall convertor.
    The one I have from NSW is pretty much an SS without extractors/bodykit.

    I think the cop ECU's are slightly different. I think Fitzy2005 used one for his manual conversion and it could read the pulse from the manual VSS (Vehicle Speed Sensor). You can get lean cruise and no fault codes and also normal idle which some people may not be getting when trying to run an auto ECU.

    hahaha check out the question and answer hahaha

    Q: hi, could you please tell me if you know how easy would it be to install and what kind performance improvement could it give a 97 vs commodore 05-Mar-09
    A: Not sure how difficult it would be to install, as far as performance goes the car could get to 130k in less than 3 seconds but it also has other high performance components that would contribute.

    wow 130 in 3 and its not a Veyron.
    Seriously this forum needs a sticky about these fkn bt1s

    The ONLY things ive noticed about my gf bt1 is slightly higher idle at about 900rpm and her LSD, so basically nothing..

    Ive driven her car quite a few times and compared to my vr ss they are very similair
