Chipping a 2.0 DOHC 8V

[gravelrash2004]

Does anyone have any experience or any information on how to "Chip" one of these?

i have already removed the EGR system and am (soon) having a stainless steel free flow exhaust made and induction kit sorted for it.

Would be nice to be able to do some remapping / performance addons too

Cheers

Not very tunable the old twink, keep your money in your pocket (seriously) don't get duped into getting it chipped, it will make very little difference if any.... chipping only works best on turbo'd stuff.

You can't get more power from naturaly aspirated engine by simple "chip". You have to modify exhaust, intake, lower the compression, put high performance cams, tank only premium fuel and all you get is about 10-25% bonus. Chipping is only about increasing boost on turbo engines.

You can get at least an extra 10BHP from this engine, simply by chipping it
The gain won't be much more than this with a standard set up

You could probably get an extra 10% from advancing the ignition, if you could LOL

It's probably what the chip does

superchips used to do one for that engine in the sierra, i think they claimed 12BHP ? try a search on a sierra forum they oftemn come up for sale but the transit uses a differant ign system and i have no idea if this will affect the chips performance ?
TBH an induction kit wont do feck all power wise, cold air not hot is where the power gains are IMHO, there's some cams available and that's about it unless you have headwork done, they never really had a stronge tuning following except turboing

Maybe fitting an ecu from a sierra twink would pep it up a bit?.... but it only be a bit, no miracle cure on this one ;0
