Guest graham Posted July 23, 2005 Report Share Posted July 23, 2005 Is there anyone out there who has had chip upgrade on their V8.I've got a 2001 GT and would like to know the pros and cons.All I've done so far is have ITG air filters fitted, during a routine service.

esprit350 2 Posted July 24, 2005 Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 you need to talk to rob carrier form south wales, he has had a chip upgrade in his sport 350 [email protected] Quote The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe.

Feffman 1 Posted July 24, 2005 Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 Best upgrade I've seen is from Johan Hybinette. Contact Johan via e-mail at [email protected] or visit his web site at www.ExtremeEsprit.com I installed his socketed V8 upgrade in my 1999 and it's been great.

TEAM MAG 0 Posted July 27, 2005 Report Share Posted July 27, 2005 you need to talk to rob carrier form south wales, he has had a chip upgrade in his sport 350 [email protected] <{POST_SNAPBACK}> MR. PFEFFER-did you notice any increase in boost pressure with Johan's chip? I understand that the chip only removes the full boost limiters in 1-3 gears. No real increase in boost.

I understand that the chip only removes the full boost limiters in 1-3 gears. No real increase in boost. Don't think so - Rob C has Johan chip in his sport 350. The sport 350 already had the boost restriction removed in gears 2 onwards. Rob reckons he's now pushing out in excess of 400bhp Quote Dave - 2000 Sport 350 Link to post Share on other sites

lotusracing 0 Posted July 31, 2005 Report Share Posted July 31, 2005 Greetings, V8 ECU options OEM ECU... High Torque upgrade from Lotus Race ECU from Lotus Johan chip upgrade The higher the power the more the wear and tear and the quicker the parts wear out.

oneshot 153 Posted July 31, 2005 Report Share Posted July 31, 2005 Is that 400BHP with JUST the Chip upgrade?? As far as I know - yes although I think he also has straight through exhausts. Drop him an email - he's very helpful. Quote Dave - 2000 Sport 350 Link to post Share on other sites
peter_england99 6 Posted August 2, 2005 Report Share Posted August 2, 2005 I've got the Red Race Code from PUKESPRIT and it's a great improvement over the standard and Sport 350 ECU code. There are some reviews on http://www.pukesprit.de/ . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
