Starion Fuel Chips 98RON

I always run 95 ron, getting 98 is a 30 minute drive away. Is the extra 3 RON critical?.

hmm unsure, possibly wouldnt run as well as the chip designed to run 95 octane made less power than that which was designed to run 98.

I also live 20 minutes or more from the nearest 98 octane source however I buy a 20l drum of methenol every few weeks ($1/L) in my travels and put a bottle of it in my car for majour fillups and keep a litre spare tucked under the boot trim in a nitro fuel bottle.

It eats fuel lines.

It's corrosive.

I have heard that drag racers who use it need to drain the fuel system after each meeting to stop it eating the fuel system.

I don't really understand this, If I raised my boost from 7 to 10 psi I would gain around 15Kw+ would I not? Where is the REAL gain in this chip? The figures are based on you raising your boost by 3 psi... seems a little fraudulent.

The gain comes from having the correct AFRs' at that Boost level through-out the rev range included the peak-power area of about 6000rpm. I believe the Factory set-up runs the staz too rich when boosted to save the Engine from possible warranty claims during those instantaneous Boost-spikes whilst getting up to 7psi back in the day when these cars were new and had warranties

LOL LOL

I got my ecu modified from brisbane tuning & turbo, quite a few years ago,never got it checked on the dyno for improvement,but it made a good improvement while driving it,as i use to run 15lbs easy, with no problems at all.THats with the crappy standard turbo,no i/c and with unleaded fuel in it.I think i it got stacked away in the shed somewhere i think

The gain comes from both. The chip plays with the fuel ratios, making them more efficient... It also allows you to run the extra boost without killing your engine, so you get a double whammy. Honestly tho, ditch the ECI Center point, its just not worth mucking about with.

If you want to keep it tho, i have a full set of parts to rebuild your t-bar type one at home. Its a fun easy project, yours if you want em.

Yea man I understand it re maps the ecu, just thought it would be smarter if it was dyno'd at 10lb without the chip then 10lb with the chip so you could see the real gain of the chip.

Cheers dude, If I was going to stay with centre point I'd buy one of these for sure, but Dj's MS mpi setup has been quite inspiring.

On with the sales! these should be gone by now
