clint 0 Posted March 20, 2004 Report Share Posted March 20, 2004 Ignore my thread in Members Cars i,ll try againIn 3 weeks i will have a shiny new Shrick heading my way courtesy of the group buy. A reputable garage(mentioning no names but located at Hollins Green, Cheshire) has told me there is no need to have it chipped(re-mapped) when fitted. Is this only the case for already modified cars or will i gain any extra Bhp or torque by doing it together..Please help as im very confused. What is the answer???? Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Pete 1,455 Posted March 20, 2004 Report Share Posted March 20, 2004 if you read the first page on the schrck group buy, Vince has already answered that question Link to post Share on other sites
clint 0 Posted March 20, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2004 i understood what Vince had said but i was under the asumption that you could have your car chipped as a modification in its own right . Link to post Share on other sites
Guest couzens Posted March 20, 2004 Report Share Posted March 20, 2004 Yes you can have the car chipped as a separate mod without the Schrick and you can also run the Schrick without a remap and chip. But because the manifold has a switchover point, ie. at 4000 rpm and this is the purpose of the manifold, the remap is necessary. The purpose of the remap + chip is to tell the ECU that it has these new parts and to get them to work correctly and in conjunction with the ECU, it is recommended to have these done.

amit 0 Posted March 20, 2004 Report Share Posted March 20, 2004 i.e the chip and manifold work in harmony with each other. Link to post Share on other sites
mightyvr6 0 Posted March 20, 2004 Report Share Posted March 20, 2004 Won't the ecu just adapt to the changes? Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Pete 1,455 Posted March 20, 2004 Report Share Posted March 20, 2004 id imagine that the fuel and ignition part of things need changing etc... (I dont know what im on about) lol Link to post Share on other sites
madmonkee 0 Posted March 20, 2004 Report Share Posted March 20, 2004 good point awaiting answer. Something to point out, by looking at the RR day results and chattin to my m8(Astra Sport Bloke) AmD are the boys. Just a chip and pannel filter and the guy is getting 194bhp outa his Vr. Same sorta response from the Astra sport guys. Think an AmD remap is the one to go for, but then again Vince use to work there, and if he can do the same remaps, then go to him. He's doing remaps on the cheap for VSR manifold buyers. Link to post Share on other sites
clint 0 Posted March 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2004 That turned out to be a four hundred pound question but all the same thanks a lot... Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Steve 0 Posted March 21, 2004 Report Share Posted March 21, 2004 Don't forget the chips that Stealth do a remappable - handy for any future engine mods. Anyone correct me here, but i think the cheaper chips that AMD offer are not remappable? Link to post Share on other sites
nickbee 1 Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 AmD's are remappable, although I don't see why anyone would assume and AmD remap was in any way better than a Stealth one? Link to post Share on other sites
