Chiped....
Yo YW people!
These last 2 weeks my car has been in for development, and except for the extra gains and smoothing out my power curve ect. these guys has asked my if I want to chip it... Now I could gain 3 to 4 Kw more, its not a piggy back and I can set everything there is to set on my Yari, especially for future upgrades, Now, do you guys think it is worth it or not, I mean if I ever want to Turbo the car, it will be so easy as I can just set everything I need to.... Let me know what you guys think...

What does "in for development" mean? What "extra gains" and what does "smoothing out my power curve" and how did they do that?
No idea what "chipping" it means. Usually that means modifying the stock ECU in some way, but...? Can you be more specific about what that is? Show pictures? Another car done the same way? That would be helpful. I know that is a lot of questions, but I don't understand the post, sorry!

I am sorry bout that,
Maybe bcause i am South African... Dutchman... LOL Ok, lets Start, Basicly my car has been in development for a proper, fine tuned race exhaust, not something that just sounds nice or something you slap on and can buy in a shop, it is a full exhaust system with custom Pipes and also the Header(Banana Branch) that has been built piece by piec and using a Dyno to see what the diffrance has been, now the exhaust is nearly complete and I will Post Pics and Charts ASAP, the Gains so far has not been much but it is there, the power curve on the Dyno chart was very unstable, zig zaging basicly and that means the power deliverance and drive ability is reduces so I was unabe to propely reach the torque and power properly... now this has been fixed and improved greatly to a smooth line and power gain... I went to see my car on the week end and they demonstrated and I was greatly Surprised what diffrance it has made, and they are sugesting that I "Chip" the car, it is basicly a direct ad on for the Bosh ECU so you can tap in and change everyhting the ECU controlls, they said I can get around 3 to 4 maybe more KiloWatt more out of the car and also smooth out my power curve a lot more adding response time and effeciency. I want to know if it will be worth it, it does not cost much at all aprox $200, what I want to know is it worth it? I am sure it will be usefull for future upgrades...

“they said I can get around 3 to 4 maybe more KiloWatt”
Just thinking about selling that back to the power grid and the cash we could make. I wonder how many hours per gallon we would get?

Fuel usage will be lighter as well and you can set it for perfomance with more gains...

They can't. The OP is just an idiot being washed for money, but can't see it. The new exhaust will open up the flow a bit more, 4-5hp sounds about right if he's going with (assuming) 2 to 2.25" piping. They can't crack the ECU because Toyota locked it. Ask ANYONE who's turbo'ed their Yaris how well they've come along with the remapping of the ECU. |

No Faith Guys,
I called around today and there have been more Yarisis Chippep, What I am going to do is proof this, the only thing is Cash, I dont know how but I will get the proof, I gace the company name... More Faith, if we can get the ECU cracked, hell why not, I have been in contact with a few guys willing to do it, it should take 3 days on the dyno.... Like I said, if there is enough support I will do it!!

I'd be impressed if you could show me an actual proof of the claims that are being made to you/ you're making to us.

I agree with yhou guys, but so far this specific company has not failed, we have done Honda, Audi, BMW, you name it....
As soon as I have the cash and time I will do it! As soon as they told me about this I actually though, let see maybe you guys can benifit too...

Well, they should be able to show you some proof (preferably independent proof) that their stuff works before you pay the money to get it done to your car.
