VR6Steve 0 Posted June 14, 2004 Report Share Posted June 14, 2004 If you plan any more engine mods, I would suggest you go for a reprogrammable/piggy back chip. ie the Unichip which Stealth do.Yes it is worth it. Made a huge difference to mine. Link to post Share on other sites
vr6Bass 0 Posted June 15, 2004 Report Share Posted June 15, 2004 just to get rough idea of the performance gains what do you estimate 0 - 60 time was before and after the chip and how does it effect drivabilty? Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Steve 0 Posted June 15, 2004 Report Share Posted June 15, 2004 As for 0-60 I really couldn't tell you as its not someting I have timed. As for torque/acceleration that improvement was huge. Link to post Share on other sites
gazbrook 0 Posted June 15, 2004 Report Share Posted June 15, 2004 my chip gave me 12bhp and similar torque which probably equates to quarter of a second MAXIMUM of a 0 - 60 i would hardly call that a HUGE difference but it is noticeable and one of the most cost effective mods you can get Link to post Share on other sites
FishWick 21 Posted June 17, 2004 Report Share Posted June 17, 2004 A Schrick alone knocks a second off the VR6's 50-70 incremental acceleration time. Focus on that, rather than 0-60. 0-60 is dated, pub talk nonsense that offers no reflection to how quick a car is in the 'real world'. Same with dyno plots. All dynos measure torque at the wheels and then some creative 'adjustments' are then applied to come up with some fantasy crank hp figures. At the end of the day, if the car feels quick on the road (where it counts), then it *is* quick. Link to post Share on other sites
