As the title says is a ECU chip needed to run higher than stock boost with boost controller ?

 

Z-Tech tell it ain't.

 

Anyone ?

It's possible to run about to about 12psi without a remapped ECU, but it's more risky than not having it done. You will need to listen out for detonation, especially on warm days.

And for the cost of a new chip, its just not worth the risk.

Yep, you only looking at around £100 for the benefit of Improved Fueling and timing maps, increased rev limiter, derestricted speed limiter. It will be safer and faster with a Chipped ECU.

Who sells the best one ?

 

Can I fit it myself (I've got a chip remover tool at work)

 

Lloyd

have a word with john dixon on here top man, He'll sort you out.

yeah you can fit it yourself if your ecu has been socketed

JD will talk to you about what your looking for too, I think he will anyway, and then you get the right one for you.

 

Just noticed 1500 posts too. Wheres my badge then?

or Andy P http://www.300zx.org.uk/ecu_maps.htm

I've got a John Dixon one for sale £50, let me know if your interested

Andy P can you call me please I'm in Essex this weekend and would like to pick up a chip from u :)

Andy I gave u my no. on your email..

Cheers for the chip Andy, she is going great definitely notice a gain in the midrange

 

Great for overtakes on the M25 driving home :)

 

Will let u know what happens when and if I ever get the boost controller working and the boost up to 14psi.

Andy,

 

About the Lambda or O2 sensor u found that wasn't working.....

 

I got Z-Tech to replace the Lambda sensor today, they did it quick so it didn't cost too much and I didn't have the special tool to remove the old / broken one but they did. The old one was seized into the manifold but one of the Z-Tech guys managed to get it out luckily.

 

So with two functioning Lambda's I can start to think about the other things that need sorting.
