Chipped my swift today !!!

hiya peeps i have just chipped my swift today i cannot belive the differance its made...

it has removed the rev limiter and it pulls like a train... somone told me to change the ecu you have to take dash out, its all lies. it was well easy but well proud of it, so far the modds as follows.

chipped ecu
4 branch manifold
air induction kit
twin exhaust system stainless steel
dropped 40mm

on its way to me...

230cc uprated fuel injectors, out of swift rally car
carbon fibre bonnet
fuel pressure regulator

Then it will be quick ha ha hope to see you soon!!!

Has it removed the rev limiter completly? Do you no what chip uve had put into the swift mine was chipped but caused too many problems because i had the chip in the wrong ecu, u dnt get any engine warning light come on etc do you?

yeah rite
unless you are using some different cams then put the std chip back in, it will over fuel at the lower end of the rev range and will fcuk up your cat, if you have one fitted that is

you wont be needing those larger injectors either, thats unless your planning to turbo?

Yeah it has had no problems it runs like a dream and no warning lights aswel. sounds like everyone has had a bad experiance with them. ive been told its a stage 2 chip to know i aint sure but i have never hit a rev limiter. ( there is no cat on the car and never came with one either) when stock. i think the car runs really well but i think at high revs it needs a bit more fuel hense buying the new injectors but also have a fuel reg to stop having too much fuel. may have a turbo early next year.

i had a race with a vauxhall astra 2.0 coupe turbo and beat it easy in a straight line.
my mate also has a seat ibiza curpra turbo running 230 bhp with print out to prove and i beat that also, i must be doing somthink right.......

its all about the power to weight ratio mate
750kg swift
1400kg astra

its true even starlet owners are amazed when i tell them what my swift weighs the only hatch lighter is the lemon ax gt and lets face it if it doesent have an electrical fire by the time it launches or blow one of its paper liner seals lol who would want one

hang on a sec there steve
they aint bad motors, my mate used to have one, i sold him my 309gti when she failed the mot due to rot, and he put the engine in it!
blew the h gasket after 3 weeks but it was well worth it

to be fair the astra has 200bhp+ and a 2.0 we have a 1.3. i used to have a toyota starlet gt turbo and it would rip the swift to bits... it had 202 bhp and miss it but you still cannot knock a swift for what they are.......... what do you think i should buy next for the swift to make it go faster?

turbo is the only way

turbo is the quickest way, bang for buck you cant realy beat it
but some people prefer the oldskool of n/a

yea dont get me wrong i love n/a but the swift just doesent have enough displacement for that if you want to go quick

steve

how much would you be talking to go turbo???
