Pre and post DIMSPORT chip, quite an improvement

Hi Stu...Welcome to the forums

Whats your 0-60 times like now?

I suppose Stu and i could get together and do some timing experiments sometime with my timing equipment

Now that sounds like an idea

I know you say Dimsport in the first post but who actually made the tuned file?

odd combination of units it uses - imperial horsepower with metric newton-metres .... where's the accompanying kilowatts vs lb-ft graph? I assume the left hand box is the second set of results, and the upper line is torque.... nice set of curves

*edit* wait, it went up from 320 to 400Nm just by chipping? jeez, thats like putting your capacity up to 2.4L! you gotta be happy with that (wish i'd have had dim's services for tuning the ol' runabout, even...)

Not really funny.

Nm is a finer measurement than foot pounds
and HP is a finer measurement than Kw.

By finer I mean that smaller changes (increases) show up better and easier.

for example to go up by 1kW you're actually going up by about 1.3Hp, and the same would go for torque.

We're a metric country though so Nm and Kw are the standard measurements and most people understand those
