right i wanna chip my na i got the timing advanced but 4degrees an a cat back big bore exhaust, what kinda power increase am i gonna be lookin at or is it variable for diffrent products. any recomendations for where i should get it done? :confused:

I am having work similiar to this done on the 19th so I will let you know. Speak to Greg and Ryan at Z Tech.

I have some na chips, more choice for manual than auto though. Not sure about exact power gains, will depend largely on the individual car.

yea mine is an auto unfortionatly, keep me posted bout ya chip then speedemon :D

We [DTA-Motorsport] have designed a performance chip for the NA. It is tuned for UK/Euro fuel (ie 95-98RON) and optimises torque in the low/mid range. In addition there is a good "kick up the backside" once you enter VTEC range. Competitively priced at £65 and available for auto and manual transmissions.

 

On a separate note, it's not "healthy" to advance the timing by 4 degrees. I would strongly suggest you reset it to 15 degrees BTDC before "chipping" the car. Which ever chip you decide to go for will expect standard timing.

is that £65 fitted???? mines a jap spec auto

No, £65 for chip and socket (if required), £5 Special Delivery. If your ECU isn't socketed yet you'll need to get that organised locally (any electronics repair shop will do the job for you). This would be much cheaper than sending me your ECU (£10 via Special Delivery), me outsourcing the socketing (£70), me sending you back your ECU (another £10 via Special Delivery).

 

JDM NA AUTO is no problem.

ok mate ill let ya no

i might be intersted in this aswell what sort of turn around could you do if i sent it to you

I need to order in the chip - takes about a week. Once I've got it in stock I'll request you to send me your ECU, etc. Turn around from that stage is another week (ie 7 days, not 5).

 

In all honesty, you'd be a lot better (financially) off getting your ECU socketed locally by a friendly electronics repair shop. The cost should be no more than about £20 versus at least £90 (incl. postage) if you have me do it. I outsource the socketing and do not make any money on that - I charge whatever I get charged for the socketing.

im a bit lost here if you can help.

if you get the socket fitted, they charge you £70, but you think anyone else can get t fitted for £20??????

 

i maybe missing something here, but that doesnt make sense to me

I'll socket anyones ECU for £30 plus return postage.

Now you cant fault that..well done Andy

There is a lot of difference in prices for the soldering work, a local company wanted to charge me about £70, if you shop about someone will do it for a drink but I doubt Danny will be shopping around for a cash in hand price. Like he said it is so much easier and quicker to get it done yourself sending it off has got to be a last resort. Just my opinion, and I can vouch for the chip being top quality, mine goes lovely with it. ;)

And Andy soldered mine for me, nice to know its in safe hands being done by someone that knows what hes doing.

The place I use for socketing ECUs is a well know national automotive electronics repair company. They have a custom installation onto which they hook up an ECU and they can then check it for faults, weak circuitry, etc. I pay a lot of money for the service because it is (a) professionally done and (b) carries a guarantee.

 

I will alway try and get a customer to have their ECU socketed by a firm local to them for several reasons, (a) it prevents shipping the ECU around the country which could get lost or damaged while in transit, (b) you have a local place to get back to if things go wrong and © it is quite a hassle for me to get this organised as I need to take the ECU to the repair centre which is about 45 miles from where I'm based (I will then need to make another trip to collect it).

 

I may find an alternative place for people to send their ECU's to which works out cheaper. Mind, it won't carry a guarantee then.

i wouldnt imagine any local place will carry a guarantee either mate, for myself, id feel happier knowing a trader was doing it than my tv guy

** HOLD PRESS **

 

I've just made a deal with AndyP who will from this point forward perform all of DTA's ECU socketing services. There will be a limited guarantee on the workmanship and all dealings will be through DTA with exception of the customer sending his/her ECU directly to AndyP. Andy will then (upon my confirmation of receipt of payment) socket the ECU, fit the chip and return the finished product via Special Delivery to the customer. Cost for the socketing service will be £32 on top of the £65 for the chip.

 

I hope this will have brought the price of the socketing service in line with customers' expectations.

is this still valid danny. any more info on the chip as i want to run decats . have aftermarket induction and exhaust, i would like potential for mapping when i eventually get headers.

 

any feedback on this chip also like before and after performance gains?

Hi,

 

Yes, this is still valid. We have so-called "off-the-shelve" DTA Performance Chips which cater for cars with the basic mods (induction & exhaust) but can also provide custom chips spefic for your exact mods (same price by the way).

 

For NA's the gain is pretty much in the driveability - ie, torque is increased in the mid-range as well as optimised at VTEC. You will not notice a deterioration in your MPG and in some cases we've even recorded better mileage!

 

I haven't got NA "before & after" performance data to hand as I only know of our TT taking to the rollers. By all accounts (based on about a dozen or so sales to NA owners) the car becomes better to drive and feels much stronger.

 

By contrast, one of our customers who had one of our first itterations of the TT chip is now running a competition winning 1/4-mile Zed up in Scotland - we must be doing something right! :)

 

If you have any further questions please feel free to contact me.

 

All the best,

 

Dan

thank you danny would you say by decatting that i would have to have a custom chip or just stay with the off the shelf jobby. i would need my ecu socketing too.whats the current turnaround on this. and also do you arrange the shipping?

Turn around for a custom chip is the same as for an off-the-shelf chip - approximately 7 days at the moment because I need to have the chip shipped in from Holland (my burner is on the blink so don't want to take the risk of supplying a dodgy chip). As for shipping of the ECU - the easiest thing is for you to ship your ECU (via Special Delivery) to AndyP. I will supply Andy with your chip and he will do the work and ship the ECU back to you. Normally Andy can turn this type of work around in a couple of days. For example, you send him your ECU on Monday and it arrives on Tuesday. Andy will then try to get it back in the post to you on either Wednesday or Thursday via next-day delivery. So you are best off planning on having the car off the road for about 4-5 days. This is also quicker than sending me your ECU and me having to send it to Andy (and then the reverse route).

 

As for the decat question - you can make do with an off-the-shelf chip.
