chips do they work
Just won a Vauxhall 2.0 8v Carlton Engine And Gearbox for my below £1000 total (including the dutton) re engineer/re build of a dutton s2 roiling
shell i have (will be some photos of the build on here soon)
so has some one on here had experience with a chip like in the link below ..

At that price i supsect thats a very expensive 'resistor' mod.

They usually mess with sensor readings, on the diesels they mess with either the fuel temperature reading tricking the ECU into adding more fuel or
messing with the fuel pressure reading, tricking the ECU into bumping up the fuel pressure.

If you eat enough of them you stop being hungry, so yes

Tell me abut the "cheap" resister mod ...i am guessing it just to lie to the ECU......this is the 1st time i mess with ecu etc so a bit
of a learning carve in making it all work
..if it hassle me to much it will get a belt driven dizzy with points and some SU carbs

STOP then. Dont mess about with ECU mods unless you know what your doing.
The above resistor mods are a waste of time, if it was that simple to extract more power, the manufacturers would do it.
Performance has a cost for a reason.

The resistor trick worked to an extent on early ecu controlled injection systems but modern engine management system do a sanity check of the
sensors at start-up by all comparing the sensor values, if the sensor reading doesn’t make sense it will simply be ignored and a default value
used.

I not mean its the 1st time i mess with ECU mods, as mod the ECU.. its the 1st time i do a engine transplant with a ECU etc
any mods will be looked at after it running well in stranded form
