    White, rock the passengers seat forward, if you have a document box there, then you have to remove the lower 2 screws and the back runner board to get at two more on its top all together 4, remove one more clip/screwfrom the the side molding (where the seat belt goes into) then pull the molding off its just held in place by clips. Peel back the carpet and there is the ECU. Three bolts will have it it your hands, then remove the connectors.. I hope that's clear enough

    Can anyone confirm if the chip removes
    the 7000 rpm limit?

    Project A Chip

    Hey Gang,

    Mine is in. Still runs out of puff at 7000rpm. This may be due to my ECU showing a fault code 0.

    Well I've been driving it for a couple of days now and its great. The car feels a lot faster and like it has more tourque. It just pulls better,anyway I think its money well spent.

    Yep, Mine still stops at 7250 too....

    Have got to get together with Steve M at some stage to start swapping parts over with his old engine to see what helps (If anything)

    As for CO...

    Mine passed it's MOT last wed (Nothing needed doing again)

    CO was 0.03%
    HC was 196ppm

    Ady.

    The perfomance of my car has greatly improved. I'm glad I bought a chip...

    I haven't noticed a 'drop off' at 7,000 though, mine still pushes all the way up to the redline.

    Btw you all say that the chip removes a rev limiter... I never had a rev limiter to begin with?

    I think the limit is normally about 8500 rpm.... mine now goes through 10k! (only by accident!)

    Thats the same as mine, I redline it a few times by mistake at Santa Pod (d'oh) before it was chipped, i definatley did not have a rev limiter... I know this because my tail pipe fell off when I missed 5th gear once and redline it all the way to 10,000rpm d'oh

    The rev limit only works when revs go up, on change down through the gears it is possible to over rev the engine. This is when most engine blow ups occur.

    John,

    Thats what I tought when I first heard about the chip but I've tried to take it pass the 10,000 rpm mark without luck. I think the rev delimiting only happens at 140kmph and that definatly has been taken off.

    Really thou the car feels totaly different now.
