Chipping won't damage the engine in anyway.

Power increase on a 316 won't be huge, but drivability will be improved and also mpg can be improved.

Ask chippeduk about it, the chips are chip as..... err chips!!

The only thing you might improve with a good quality chip would be the driveability of the car, maybe make it smoother.  You'd be lucky to see much of a noticable power increase, although some will probably claim 10hp gains or something which is not true.

6hp is possible on this car.

thats a fact.

ohh, and it is noticable.

What performance wise you're telling me 6hp will make a difference?

Ignoring the smoothing of the power curve, just the addition of 6hp.

I`m saying that the drivability and performance will be noticed yes.

If you added 6hp too a 300hp M3 you wouldnt notice it but on a lower powered 1.6 you will.

kevin, i dont think he was dissin your car mate, it is his freaky sence of humour thats all.

cheers

the reason bmw didnt do them is they were given high insurance groupings so lowered the power to sell more cars.

And as BMW sell to a wide market they have to cover different grades of fuel, we have 95+ octane, other countries have as low as 81 octane. If the car was tuned to run on 95+ it would have probably the best power (this is what chippeduk maps the parameters to, so gaining power), but if it was shipped to a country where 81 was only available you'd have a pretty knackered engine thru detonation and loads of 'pinking'. Also they are retarded for poor maintenance.

Japan has 100 octane, thats why performance imports like Subaru Imprezas suffer from pinking and have to add an octane booster to get back up to the 100 available in Japan. A UK Impreza will be tuned to suit UK fuel.

This probably also why BMWs benefit more from a chip/remap as they are more retarded to cope with a wider market then say Peugeot (which don't give as bigger benefit) as these cars are generally sold in europe where octane is better and thus tuned to run on a higher octane.

My car would have run on a low octane fuel, but now I've had a remap it probably wouldn't do well. The knock sensors will adjust timing to suit different ranges of fuels, but there is only so much they can adjust, so a chip/remap moves the adjustable parameters up the scale, so using the higher octane fuel available will give a better benefit and the fuel will be burnt more efficiently.

Do you guarantee your chips Jayson? Say if one were to be faulty or the increased rev limit you offer on some were to mean terminal failure of an engine you'd be liable for the entire cost to repair. 

Also you refer to 'ChippedUK' as a company, are you running a partnership or are you sole trading? I see no ChippedUK in the Limited companies register so i'm assuming you're not actual a company.

How would you know that the chip had caused the failure? Unless the engine was either new or had been thoroughly inspected before the chip was fitted. If it was me I wouldn't offer a warranty, at least not on the engine dying. After all Jason could sell a chip by post to someone who's car he has never seen, if the engine was already tired it could be due to fail anyway. I doubt any of the bigger chip companies offer such a warranty either, unless you could prove conclusively that the failure was caused by the chip, which I suspect is very difficult.

Well he fails to post a disclaimer on his website, which actually forms part of the contract between buyer and seller. 

Also if it's a 'company' as stated then he needs to include his Full company name, the address and his VAT number aswell as the contact details.

You do appear to have it in for him don't you.

Has he anoyed you at some point in the past?

Just bored, asking questions passes the day.

If he's offended don't trade on the net simple as that.  And we won't dredge up past instances of Gumball related events he seems to have made an attempt to clear his record so that won't be beneficial to anybody.

Paul is an ****, i like it when he thinks he must spend his time discrediting me.

The fact is, ChippedUK is a registered Business although not VAT registered but this is neither needed or a legal requirement.

I offer a warrenty on all my goods against failure but if it could be diagnosed that one of my chips caused a failure to occur I have full legal and insurance cover to enable me to resolve an issue quickly.

I find it odd that you would slate me paul being a part of a forum which sells products yet neither pays tax or even declares tax on its earnings.

If you want to continue to play your games then fine, but i will have the forum shut down as quick as you can make another derogatory remark to me or my  business and i WILL make sure everyone knows the reason why.

Only asking questions Jayson, not insulting, you provided the answers well done, thats how a forum works.  Although i've never called you a ****, which is a tad childish.

You referred to it as a 'company' on your site which is infact different to a business, that was the point i was making.

Have i broken any laws ?

You can call a business a company as long as you have 2 employees.

I have 2.

Myself and my wife who is secretary.

I suggest you keep your thoughts to yourself as i know what you are about, if you feel something is wrong contact trading standards or the tax office.

Were you beaten as a child ?

The inner anger you suffer with is trully amazing ans something a few quid in therapy could resolve i am sure.

What i dont understand is your need to do my business damage.

What do you expect me to do ?

sit back and take it ?

I can only tell you that should you continue i will have to resort to a higher level of persuasion.

if i get banned for this then so be it but i cant sit back and take you messing with my livlyhood.

you helped destroy my name on the e30zone posting lies about customers who`m i was supposed to have ripped off yet whenever i asked for names or proof you kept banning me.

my actions since leaving the zone prove what i am like to trade with and my constant help to the bmw community proves i am a valued member.

what is your role ?

what do you give back ?

Paul,

You do appear to have an agenda here. Whatever the History between you and Jayson why not just drop it and stop taking shots at him under the pretext of 'asking questions'.

Ok i take it all back, Jayson's a great guy, buy his chips.

And the E30zone thing was because you posted up about our chips on your forum, but that's history now so forget it.

I have never once done anything against the e30zone first, i have only ever retaliated.

I have spoken to the site owner and other mods, none of whom share your enthusiasm for trouble.

I do hope you will honour your above statement and let matters be.

Chippeduk so you don't make the chips yourself, just starting out as a trader.

no he doesn't actually make the chips as this requires special delicate machines/tools, he programs them.

I doubt you'll find any company that makes and also programs chips.

I have a programmer who developes the maps that i then programme onto blank chips.

This is the same way people like superchips work.
