so vela, there is something i dont understand here. If i were to buy this setup from you. You send the kit or whatever to me, i just unplug the old stock chip and install your board or what? I have a completely stock ECU, do i first have to remove the old chip and solder in one of those sockets or what? Also, congrats and i am very impressed on you accomplishment. Brilliant, just brilliant.

Yes Greg, you just have to unsolder the stock chip that's in your ECU and solder in the socket that you get from me, and plug in the board that I've allready made and tested for you. The location of the LEDs and the push button is your choice. Thanks for that coment!

got my chip and all parts are made well. i havent had a chane to test it as i am haveing my adepter fitted at my local tv repair shop. will post as soon as i have tested it.

edit
Had to desoler the eprom myself after going to lots of tv repair shops etc and being told that they cant do it.
i used copper braid anda good solder iorn however it was hard work people here are some pics .by the way i the chip works great meaning i would recomend people get one.

Hey, thanks! I didn't get the mail about this post becouse you edited it. Cheers!
Come on people, I still have a few boards laying around. It's stupid to waste money on fuel - give it to me instead!

I PM'd few of the guys who were posting here about this... I only have a few kits left and i won't make more of them, (too much work and no time) so if you're thinking about it - let me know soon!
Cheers, Vela.

you are SOOO about to get a title under your name.

No man, the switch is designed to fit the DOHC ECU and the programs in the chip are made for the G13B engine. The switch can be used in your car if it fits in your ECU with no clerance problems and if you have a performance chip for your car.

I'm pretty sure the chip switcher will work with a G10 ECU, but I don't know chips you plan on switching though... (stock + stock?)

Thanks Lihtan, but I don't want to do anything yet. (don't want to get fired) They'll know what I'm up to, if I try it, for shure. I ordered broadband for home yesterday (don't ask me why I didn't do it sooner ) So I should be covered soon. Thanks.

I got one as well!! Man I'm so happy right now! I couldn't get the switch earlier becouse of the lack of money. But now i have it installed in my car and I'm just so thrilled!

Great work Vela! We're waiting on your new projects!

I think it's Gabber, this is filmed in Zagreb so I think it's him.

Question I have is about whether or not the fuel maps on the 1.0 and 1.3L motors on the '89-94's, and on the OBD-2 95-01's had a good lean down-the-highway mode. I'm told that the early EEC-4 Fords had such a program, as Ford had some EPA credits that allowed them to get away with increased NOX emissions. When running right, my beater truck , '86, with the 2.9 gets 28MPG at 70 miles per, which aint bad for a 3300 lb brick. From what I recall reading, 3-way catalysts require a rich/lean cycle of fuel delivery to work correctly, and this ultimately costs fuel economy, particularly on highway running. Some of us are more concerned with burning less fuel than polluting rural areas' air. For those of us who are willing to pollute a bit more, a chip that would run leaner in 5th gear at steady throttle openings might give us more MPG's is of interest.

Do I have my facts right? Some of y'all engineers are more up on this than I am these days.

So you want more MPG with a stock chip modified to run lean at lower rpm? That would cost some money and alot of time (witch I don't have) to make and noone would buy it. That's why this switch was made in the first place, read the first post of this thread.

i just got in the mail today, i am going to install it and let you guys know how it goes!

OK GUYS, I DID IT YESTARDAY, AND YES I MUST USE CAPSLOCK BECAUSE THIS SUPER DUPER THING ROCKS!!!!!!!!

This is by far the best investment I ever made into the car, the chips works flawlessly AND the timing and fuel maps are WAY BETTER THAN MY PREVIOUS CHIP!!! No problems on low end torque, its mapped brilliantly from the start of the rpm all the way to redline. The car pulls like a mofo!!!

Another advantage is that I can simply press the switch when I use nitrous to go back to the stock mapping so that the timings are not as agressive. Very practical.

Anyway, I highly recommend this chip to everyone, it's a cheap and very effective mod, the switch is smooth and I did it while driving several times. Simply awesome

Ok I did mine also. It's been installed now for a lil over a week.

The results?

It pulls VERY VERY HARD/STRONG to 8000rpm!!! Even in 4th! That was a shock to me! It was clearly an upgrade from my first chip. I mean, the chip I had was awesome! but this one surprised me in 4th gear. Less road is needed to reach the same high speed being reached with the first chip.

Switching is a dream! It's so fast it's incredible. You will notice rpm @ idle will go up a little, and when you lift off the gas pedal, the engine speed won't fall as fast as stock program.

It's highly recommended.

Thanks Vela. Good Job!

eegads! This is incredibly interesting stuff Vela!

Would this kind of thing work for a MK1 like mine?

Yes, I think it should... if the ECU is the same, and I think it is.

Here is how I mounted mine:

I recieved the chip switch. Nicely made. Can't wait to try it!

happiness is doing your best when the going is easy.

Track results:

On 26th Jan I went to the track and managed to do 2 runs only with the Chip switch:

Both runs were 16:38xx. 60ft were 2.6xxx and 2.7xxx.

My only mods include a Genie headers, single underdrive pulley and 8mm ignition wires.

I think it's time to invest in some good tyres. I believe I can do a 16:1xxx with the chip and some good tyres.

1/4mile speeds were 85.66 and 86.36.

This is just an update on the chip switch.
