can the ECU be chipped

[ninja.turtle007]

Is it possible or has anyone chipped the ECU on a 1.9 watercooled?

This here "engine control unit" can indeed be chipped

Possible to chip the MV, well, the Digifant engines.
Digijet won't accept it I'm affraid.

If you have a Digifant engine then contact Superchips, they do have a listing for it.

Digifant is a much better system to Digijet anyway.

Aye, flash the firmware to get 150mph top speed and 40mpg

Bunch of pi$$ takin' f******s, FYI the 1.9 came in a fuel injected form too, it has all the same ancillaries as the 2.1 but a slightly smaller AFM, there was a company in South Africa that specialised in chipping and modding the heads on these vehicles but I think they are out of business now.

The 1.9 DH code and GW code engines where fitted with Digijet fuel injection and an ECU sobasically the answer to your questionis no because it is digijet, if it was digifant then you would have half a chance with Simon's recommendation.




Edited to remove swear word.

It has an ECU and is Fuel injected.

I think any gains would be slight without more major modifications to the engine (expensive) and lets be honest, they are not efficient engines by todays standards. Be a better bet to do a complete engine conversion and get a few extra MPG into the bargain IMO.

[eatcustard]

Then you may gain 2 BHP

Not worth it, replace with 2.1 for instant power gain

[Simon Baxter]

He didn't ask for that, he simply asked if it was possible.

Gains would be small, it is a WBX afterall.

It may work, but appears to be a variable resistor which fools the ECU by changing readings it uses to determine correct amount of fuel to put in. Use with extreme care as you may damage engine .
