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 ..
OPEL VAUXHALL Astra 2.0 8V C20NE chip 131HP Calibra Vectra Cavalier Kadett GSi
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.

Tell me abut the "cheap" resister mod ...i am guessing it just to lie to the ECU......

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.
