3.8 VP
3.8 VP
I've just picked up a VP 3.8 auto for my son, we've fitted a 2.5" cat back exhaust & modded the bell mouth. The eom chip is a BAAM, is it worth fitting another chip or should we stick with the original? Just trying to get the best out of it without making it a pig.

Dec_head is that bin opened with a $5D xdf? Just checking a few things out & the rev limiter is set at a very low number, everything else appears ok.

Re: 3.8 VP
never opened it up to look a mate bought it off feebay and instead of soldering it in i just read it and put it onto his memcal for him
I just had a quick look to me it appears to line up but i am no expert.
Funny thing is in hex editor it has PXwechip blah blah yet was sold some stage 3 extreme BXllSXIT so who knows my mate reckons it made an improvement over the stock tune but it was for 98 octane fuel apparently maximum advance or some dribble.

Re: 3.8 VP
most ebay ones are copies or bits cut out of copies ive seen ones with vn s1 spark map and vp ve map instant fail you need a tune for a vp and a different one for vn and most ebay sellers sell the same tune for both LOL
