Appologies, I'm juggling work stuff.

Just to add, are the 3.2 remaps any more expensive or involved than any other model or over and above the pricing mentioned? I'm under the impression the 3.2 and 2.6 are somehow more involved than normal, going by discussions here previously.

Hi Chris,
so I can't see any reason why they should be any more money to be honest. We've done quite a few so far and there have been no issues doing cars over OBD. On the whole the only difficulties I have encountered have been on cars after 2010 where the ECU has to be removed and opened. A software patch has to be applied to overcome the car maker's anti tune protection. The car can then have remaps over OBD from then on. I will check this out and give you a shout.

All the best
Jason

Just for info, the early Omega's (Non ODB, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0 and 2.5TD), the Maps are on an Eprom, so that will be a swopout job, unless you have an plug in emulator that can talk live to the ECU, the later ones, post 2001 ODB, 2.2, 2.6, 3.2, and 2.2DTi and 2.5DTi, are via the ODB port, or worst case by tapping into the ECU, I know when my Chip Man was playing with one of my 3.2's for Petrol/LPG Mapping he had issues communicating via the Comm Port and ended up having to modify one of his Push Pin adaptors to fit directly on the ECU pcb.

Jason, as I'm not in that area do you offer a service where owners can be sent the chip and fit themselves. . . I'm sure there is a guide on here.

Really keen to try a chip although not expecting it to change the world. 

Any info on this? Ta.

Hi All,
I'm still waiting on an update and will post as soon as possible. I appreciate your patience.

kind regards
Jason

Webby, think I have a spare Eprom in the garage with a 3.0 map on it you can try if you want.

Remember, the only way to tune the 2.5/3.0 is to remove the old Eprom and either erase it and blow new code or fit a replacement with ne code already on it. No ability to program via diag port or using a header on the chip.

Any update Jason...

I have a feeling I tried a 3.0l chip in a 2.5 and it didn't run well.

From memory they run a bit rich above 2.5k RPM and can through the EML on, fairly sure my ECU Man got it sorted for the 2.5 Petrol, can ask the question if you want.

mark, only just seen this, very kind of you.

could you put the info about Eprom in baby speak for me? 

zirk, thanks for info
