Hi guys,

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/DYNOPOWER-PERFORMAN...=item4144a3a9c4

i saw this performance chip on Ebay not long ago and had a read of it. It seemed to good to be true for its price..

What you reckon?? or has anyone tired it??Would it affect an N/A's performance once??

cheers

DONT

BOTHER

110% agreed, dont waste your time and money

do what 99.9% of everyone else does, and that is to go and get your car tuned, by a professional, to take in account every nuance of your own particular cars features and limitations

it'll be safer (for your engine), more powerful, and better for the environment (and your long term petrol costs)

If you're up north, road and track dyno, morpowa, willall and horsepower in a box are available

if you're down south, southern hitech dyno, turbotune, graham west can all do the same job

I prefer road and track and southern hitech cause I know both of the guys there but call around and see which one can fit your expectations the best

AS IF IT DOESNT WORK! i bought one of those chips and put it in my car and it made it HEAPSSS QUICKER! it looks like a scam but its not it fully works!

never said it didnt >work<

it just doesnt work >well<

Unless of course you're running 100% stock components, in which case its probably not too bad - but who has 100% stock everything? Just about every car that comes into the country has aftermarket induction and exhaust

ahaha i was just bull shitting... as if you fkn buy that piece of shit chip LOL looking at the add looks dodgey already ahaha

f**ks sake kiet

i know you're a dickhead

but misleading a guy whos asking an honest question is the mark of a dog f**king son of a bitch

pardon the f**king french, but you're an irredemable wanker

-D

Yeah stay away from them, like ben said better off getting your car tuned properly. Every car has slightly different parameters, therefore no one "Magic Chip" can be classed as a reliable form of tune upgrade.

that isn't a chip as such, it's just a resistor to play with the AFM signal and lean out the mixtures. And since our cars were actually tuned for 100RON jap fuel which we don't have, so we are stretching our mixtures already on the 40 degree Australian summer days. Another thing that points to it not being a chip is that they sell them from R33's which are fairly unchipable (well for under $800-1000 anyway).

^^ hahaha the only person in the thread to actually read what it is

its a cheap knock off of a fuel cut defender lean you car = more power then bang

so in short YES it will work but is it really worth it ..... prolly not

f**ks sake kiet

If someones got to open a thread to ask a question whether an eBay chip works or not... then may god help us all. :)

Skyline ECUs are fairly efficient at making power (a touch on the rich side). But it's a N/A engine with turbocharger-like compression, unfortunately all you can do is supporting mods, high flow panel filter, exhaust, cold air intake etc for small gains. unfortunately you can't just magically pull power out of your hat, unless you go forced-induction.

I've looked into these magic chips in the past when I owned a commodore, I concluded they are just resistors to make the engine think it's running colder than it actually is, permanently making your engine run alot hotter than it was designed for.

    • I know why it happened and I’m embarrassed to say but I was testing the polarity of one of the led bulb to see which side was positive with a 12v battery and that’s when it decided to fry hoping I didn’t damage anything else
    • I came here to note that is a zener diode too base on the info there. Based on that, I'd also be suspicious that replacing it, and it's likely to do the same. A lot of use cases will see it used as either voltage protection, or to create a cheap but relatively stable fixed voltage supply. That would mean it has seen more voltage than it should, and has gone into voltage melt down. If there is something else in the circuit dumping out higher than it should voltages, that needs to be found too. It's quite likely they're trying to use the Zener to limit the voltage that is hitting through to the transistor beside it, so what ever goes to the zener is likely a signal, and they're using the transistor in that circuit to amplify it. Especially as it seems they've also got a capacitor across the zener. Looks like there is meant to be something "noisy" to that zener, and what ever it was, had a melt down. Looking at that picture, it also looks like there's some solder joints that really need redoing, and it might be worth having the whole board properly inspected.  Unfortunately, without being able to stick a multimeter on it, and start tracing it all out, I'm pretty much at a loss now to help. I don't even believe I have a climate control board from an R33 around here to pull apart and see if any of the circuit appears similar to give some ideas.
    • Nah - but you won't find anything on dismantling the seats in any such thing anyway.
    • Could be. Could also be that they sit around broken more. To be fair, you almost never see one driving around. I see more R chassis GTRs than the Renault ones.
    • Yeah. Nah. This is why I said My bold for my double emphasis. We're not talking about cars tuned to the edge of det here. We're talking about normal cars. Flame propagation speed and the amount of energy required to ignite the fuel are not significant factors when running at 1500-4000 rpm, and medium to light loads, like nearly every car on the road (except twin cab utes which are driven at 6k and 100% load all the time). There is no shortage of ignition energy available in any petrol engine. If there was, we'd all be in deep shit. The calorific value, on a volume basis, is significantly different, between 98 and 91, and that turns up immediately in consumption numbers. You can see the signal easily if you control for the other variables well enough, and/or collect enough stats. As to not seeing any benefit - we had a couple of EF and EL Falcons in the company fleet back in the late 90s and early 2000s. The EEC IV ECU in those things was particularly good at adding in timing as soon as knock headroom improved, which typically came from putting in some 95 or 98. The responsiveness and power improved noticeably, and the fuel consumption dropped considerably, just from going to 95. Less delta from there to 98 - almost not noticeable, compared to the big differences seen between 91 and 95. Way back in the day, when supermarkets first started selling fuel from their own stations, I did thousands of km in FNQ in a small Toyota. I can't remember if it was a Starlet or an early Yaris. Anyway - the supermarket servos were bringing in cheap fuel from Indonesia, and the other servos were still using locally refined gear. The fuel consumption was typically at least 5%, often as much as 8% worse on the Indo shit, presumably because they had a lot more oxygenated component in the brew, and were probably barely meeting the octane spec. Around the same time or maybe a bit later (like 25 years ago), I could tell the difference between Shell 98 and BP 98, and typically preferred to only use Shell then because the Skyline ran so much better on it. Years later I found the realtionship between them had swapped, as a consequence of yet more refinery closures. So I've only used BP 98 since. Although, I must say that I could not fault the odd tank of United 98 that I've run. It's probably the same stuff. It is also very important to remember that these findings are often dependent on region. With most of the refineries in Oz now dead, there's less variability in local stuff, and he majority of our fuels are not even refined here any more anyway. It probably depends more on which SE Asian refinery is currently cheapest to operate.
