thelostartof LH 2.4 Chip Feedback Thread

[thelostartof]

Jao Should be posting this BUT

on his last drive with the chips he turned in 27mpg. This is while crusing 65-70+ mph.

Cars setup is a 200k +T, 50 trim t3/t4, 3" turbo back, IPD turbo cam, Getrag with auto rear end, and otherwise 3" AMM, 65lb injectors, and NPR IC

So pretty good mpg numbers in my book

[maxman142001]

wow! impressive even for the green monster

[jao]

i was really surprised too. remember cruising at 75-80 mph with my getrag and rear end [3.73?] is 3200-3300 RPM. i don't have any previous #s for the car. but i do know that at 55-60mph with the same rear end, no turbo, stock injectors/cam/ecus etc, and a m47 the best i've gotten was 31-32MPG. so definatly good #s. oh and i have a LC-1 supplying the LH ECU with a simulated narrow band output and a enem V15 turbo cam, not an ipd turbo cam.

awesome chips, i love 'em! grabbing second even with a locker and 4 people in the car still breaks both the tires free @ 15psi

[Aurelius]

hello,

can these be chipped?

thanks

[thelostartof]

What year/model car are those out of?

the EZk box you will have to open up to see if it is chipable

And im not even skinny Jesse.

LOL no, and chris and brett are not little people like me either....

I have been running my chips for about a week...The car is still trying to learn everything, but damn it pulls HARD at 20 PSI, with the new injectors.....

I think this is a great chip, ( i like it more than fred's).....

[Lord_Athlon]

Jesse, you probably had 650 more lbs in your car. I know im 250 of that.

[Lord_Athlon]

Mike, this thread is making me want to drop a b230ft in my car with some 2.4 action.

[SteveMD]

When you say greentops do you mean the stock 804 b230ft low impedance injectors?

I'm sure no small part of the improvement is from the cam itself, but the new combo works VERY well together. The first time I drove the car I thought Jonathan had goofed the speedo install because there was no way my car should have been doing 85 in that 50 zone that soon, then my GPS agreed with the speedo!

The ECU is still figuring things out, but it had a nice little loapy idle at 500 RPM's until the ECU upped it to about 675 and smoothed it out some. The combination of continuous rain and posted speed limits have kept me from being able to do any WOT pulls yet, but give me a week or so for ECU education and some clear weather and I'll report back.

The new and much improved setup on the car is as follows:

'91 745
92 octane Shell gas
Gutted air box
Clean K&N
Stock MAF - clean and minus rear screen
Stock MAF to cold section boot - the old one was oil soaked and collapsing
Stock IC - probably has about a half quart too much oil in it since the car's bottom end is a bit tired)
Stock TB - Clean
No porting on either intake or exhaust sides
Green tops
15G @13PSI (bigger boost spikes with manual and cam, so I'll be taking a half turn off of the WG actuator rod - CBV diaphragm/spring might be a bit sketchy since I'm hearing bypass air starting at just under atmospheric)
RSI Stage 1 cam at 6 degrees advance (it's an around town scooter, so bottom end takes priority over peak)
MVP 3" DP and full exhaust
M90 with Clutchnet yellow pressure plate and un-sprung organic disc
3.73 OEM snow locker rear end
Dirty Dracos with fresh 205 55 15 Falcon Ziex ZE512's

933 is a 940 NA ECU and should be chippable. I got one here.

These chips are ]D ][ ]V[ ]D ][ ]\[

Here is my setup:
BOTH ECU & EZK
'90 765
15g
ported 90+
3" exhaust
IPD cam @ 1 deg advance
NPR
Greentops :( @ 4Bar
Walbro penis pump

Usually run Shell's Techron with Craptron ®

I pulled Fred's chips out and on the way home from Mike's I noticed the responsiveness was much improved. Freds were in there for a while and set ~16 so twas well lernt @ that point. I experinenced some of the little oddities that others on here have reported but that in no way have I thought of taking them out.
T.L.A.O. Instaboost Chips are like crack. The acceleration was so smooth and predictable, not spikey and angry spurts like with Freds.

I took Mike's advice a little too srsly to drive the crap out of them and too make a long story short I have to take the defensive driving class again.
So after my Imperial entanglement. I spaid or neutered my ride. With factory boost it acted a little weird. At High RPM's the powerband came on hard, kinda impressive power for 7psi. I've since got bored with that and started twisting the thing on the thingy and making more boost.
It again is getting fast.
As far as my milage, It has gone up 20 miles per tank but I put on my exhaust system 3/4 of a tank before the chips went in and it seems to be getting better.
My experienence has been way less than scientifical but I do like them a lot. When I had it set at 16psi there was no ping with Mikes Chips. That right there for me was worth the price of admission. It was knocking some before and it turned into almost none.

If you have the means I highly recomend you pick them up.

[maxman142001]

Dude! Advance your cam to 4 degrees and turn the boost up

[DNAsEqUeNcE]

I love TLAO chips, every car I have ridden with them installed hauled complete serious ass.

Love em. Even thought of just scrapping my next MS project myself.

I have just the one car so it makes me conservative. I haven't tried messing with the timing gear yet with the new chips. Getting the ticket stopped me from dorkin on my car. It Needs a front caliper rebuild and newer tires. It was low on oil I just added a 960 oil cooler so it will get air, the NPR pushed the stock cooler into a place that got little air flow. The temps are much better now.
Its @11~12 now I'll slowly push it up. So Boostin the Bejesus out of it is easier said than dumb. For now, untill I get brakes...

[cargod78]

forgive my ignorance,

are these the same or better than the "perfect power 6" that IPD sells? or is it just completely different and an apples to oranges comparison?

i have a 1992 745tic auto lh2.4 (i assume) and am looking to get a little more go-power out of it.

[Hagar17]

its a replacement for stock chips - IPD kit is a system that overides stock chips but does not replace them.

[cargod78]

oh ok, now i understand, the power 6 is an in line modifier.

so which is better, my car is a DD so i wont need to fiddle with it, i want reliable power (who doesn't) just a little boost over stock

[Mortar]

These chips and an mbc is minimal "fiddling."
I'd do a tune up first get rid of bad hoses and vacuum leaks new spark plugs stuff like that if you haven't already.

[84 Blue 240]

Alright guys, I thought I should post. My friend has a 92 940 turbo that I just finished soooping up a bit for him. We are running a rebuilt 13c (was on there when I showed up...600 bucks last year, so I thought I'd keep his dad happy and work around it), greentops, 4 BAR FPR, 3 inch turbo-back exhaust, MBC, and LostArtOf's chips (Fuel and ignition). So, tonight we turned up the boost to about 18 psi (22 for one run) and with the computer still learning and 50 pounds of crap in the back, we ran a 9.58 at 71 MPH in the 1/8 mile with a 2.09 60 foot (about a 14.9 at 92 MPH quarter equivalent). The person driving had never gone drag racing before. This was on an autobox, but I think he still has a 9.3 or so in it. The car pulls strong and the drivability is great. AFRs are very good across the board, running nice and lean under cruise giving good fuel economy so far. The engine seems to be running very safely with absolutely no audible knock or ping at any point. I am really impressed with Mike's product and wouldn't hesitate to use them again.

P.S. The chips took all of 2 days to arrive from time of Paypal to them being on the doorstep. Mike's service was as fast as I could have wished for.

[Mortar]

Well, I passed AZ emissions with these chips in. I have the 563s. Put my IPD cam straight up took, out the mbc. Kept it like that for 2 days then went in. I have a hightflow catco. The numbers were well within range. The car just runs better with these.

[maxman142001]

w00t...good to hear, i need to go in and smog soon too

If his chips can handle the blast furnace coming out of a 13c at 22 psi, I am duly impressed.
