Now that I've done Wakefield stock, I'm researching a chip and dyno tune. Apologies if this has already been covered.

Has anyone had a good outcome re-chipping their NC? Cost? Brand? Outcome? Pitfalls?

I'm really keen to have one that can work the bejesus out of the VVT, as I think that's where the smarts really are. But that can be scary, too. Don't want to mess that gear up.

I have a CAI to fit yet, and want to feel that difference before going the chip. Way back when I was around last, the SP guys had just worked out how to remap the VVT?

Tell me your story...

Cosworth in the US are currently in the process of tuning the NC factory ECU for their supercharger kit. There was talk of them releasing a reflash for a non-supercharged NC some time in the future. Maybe you could try contacting the Cosworth agent in Sydney and see what they know?

Biggles, ChipTorque, the guys who did the SP programming for Mazda, did indeed "crack" the SVT for the SP tune - but this done during the SP's development. Lachlan Riddle told me that this effectively gave them the right cam for a turbo application without needing to open the engine.

Aside from ChipTorque, you could look at aftermarket ECUs such as MoTeC, Autronic etc.

Biggles, Oh yea blast from the past!!!

Anyway, Haltech are looking for a development car if you are interested in an aftermarket ECU and tune - send me a PM if you want details.
