Performance Chips

[Widesays]

hey there, was just thinking about putting a chip on my r32 GTS-T RB20DET, but dont really know too much about them, so justw anted to know if u have any personal experience with any particular ones, cost, benefits, disadvantages, fuel economy, anything useful to know.

found one on ebay seems reasonably but like i said have no idea what im looking for.

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Nissan-Skyline-R32-GTS-t-RB20DET-Performance-Drift-Chip-/200673553677?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2eb9136d0d

Personally, my r32 gts-t is running around 12psi boost, has a hi-flow cat and cat back exhaust...not much mods, so will a chip make a difference at all? should i go for this easy mod?

Cheers.

Dude. It's a computer chip. On eBay. What could possibly go wrong?

Probably get about an extra 100-150 FTWkw, and if you add racing stripes looking at another 50kw add speed holes and looking at reduced drag.

So all up. Get the chip, paint stripes and punch holes in car. Untouchable yo!!!!!

gee thanks for the useful info...as i said i dont know much about them so not necessary to be like that "yo"

Haha you guys are funny.

But seriously, don't get the chip. Save some money and get a nistune or something. Just remember that you should google before askin these type of questions, as you can see people will rape you haha.

didnt mean just the performance chips on ebay, wanted to know all the info about them, are they worth getting from well known brands, what are they? price differnces etc,

Are performance chips in general a good idea or a load of bull?

[UWISSH!]

what u plan on doing in the future will impact on the choice u make,

if u just keep the car how it is then just get a nistune, will provide a decent level of tunning to some good results, clean up how the car drives

or if u plan on going further with bigger turbos, injectors n the like choices will go from the simple but reliable power fc costing usually round $1000+ tunning right thruogh to haltec, motec etc which will cost u a shit load more

but as said above if u simply went into the forced induction section and used the search function all the answers u could ever want will show up.

This type of question have been covered many times before, thats y people get the shits when it is continually asked

Look at it this way, if it cost $35 to increase the HP so easily, why didn't Nissan do it? Just getting your car tuned properly on a dyno after making any sort engine mod is going to cost several $100 or more.

Modding a car correctly is EXPENSIVE! If you find anything that you want, that doesn't make you think "hmmmmm........do I need to eat this month?", then it is probably a cheap piece of crap that will kill your car eventually. When it comes to modding your car, "you get what you pay for" is correct in about 99% of situations.

Ok cool, thanks for the info guys, yeah I don't plan to modify this car all too much, went thru all the major modyifing with another car n kinda over it, just want something nice to cruise around in that looks neat. So I'll look into the nistune option, again thanks.

Search "Powerchip" in google, then tell us if you still want one..

ill sell the midas touch since i got it, and it will add 30-31.1 million hp no support mods needed matter a fact no engine needed either!

...stay away from that sorta crap...people spend $1000 to get 10kw, so just think about it......
