threefour Posted January 27, 2004 Report Posted January 27, 2004 i had a hypertech chip for my 93' lumina z34. did nothing. so i got another chip from a buddy of mine. its says 3.4 DOHC FPD PERFORMANCE and 91W in the top right of it... will this work fine on my 93' lumina z34 3.4 no problem??? thanks chris Quote
phantomFE3 Posted January 27, 2004 Report Posted January 27, 2004 im guessing it should, but dont you have to tune the hypertech chips or something? i thought there was a couple extra steps to get more power, not just plug and play? oh well, yeah the new chip should work, can anyone else back me up on this?

Vegeta Posted January 27, 2004 Report Posted January 27, 2004 Hypertech isn't gonna get any better by doing anything else too it. You can't tune a hypertech chip, so I assume you are talking about an idle relearn. For all that matters, any chip "learns" the fueling more but that is universal. If it says FDP, that is an old chip! I did chips for FDP before FFP. There are probably less than 3 FDP dohc chips...maybe just that 1? I didnt think there were any but i guess there are. Its all the same Quote

Vegeta Posted January 27, 2004 Report Posted January 27, 2004 oh crap, this is mustang.com? My bad, I thought we were discussing a GM w body with the 3.4 DOHC, that can't use a hypertech power programmer. So yes, really. Quote

threefour Posted January 31, 2004 Author Report Posted January 31, 2004 ok i installed the fdp chip. now the cars runs a tad harder.... however its only revving to 4k in neutral or park. i took it on 95 and there is no doubt still a governor on the speed, it seems to lock up at 115 HELP! -chris Quote
Guest TurboSedan Posted January 31, 2004 Report Posted January 31, 2004 oh really then how come i was watching Hot Rod TV with a supercharged mustang being tuned with the hypertech chip? i'm sure Hypertech pays Hot Rod TV to use its products on their show... joshua Quote
Vegeta Posted January 31, 2004 Report Posted January 31, 2004 Not everyone wanted their limiter removed, so its quite possible that it wasn't removed from that chip. Same goes for the park/neutral rev limiter. I always recommend that it stays in place in case something happens and the engine tries to rev up on its own (vacuum leak). Quote
threefour Posted January 31, 2004 Author Report Posted January 31, 2004 what else does that chip probably have on it sicne there is no real obvious performance tweak to the system... does it advance timing at all tweak air fuel ratio etc? or is it possibly you can just reprogram this one for me to the specs that i wanted and thought i was getting no rev or speed limiter? thanks -chris Quote
Vegeta Posted January 31, 2004 Report Posted January 31, 2004 So it pulls a tad harder but no real obvious performance tweak? I don't really understand what you are trying to say. I offer lifetime changes to the original owner for free. Since you aren't the original owner, I will set it up to your specs for $5 to cover shipping and the mailer. I will look at the rest of the chip and see if it is the most recent code (kinda doubt it). Quote
gp90se Posted February 1, 2004 Report Posted February 1, 2004 Ben, he is looking to rev 5 grand since thats what it supposedly did in the guy he bought it offs car. im not sure what your chips are programmed to do but he runs 93 octane year round and beats the car, so he wants a chip that maximizes the air/fuel ratio and make use of the higher octane. -Jeff Quote
Vegeta Posted February 1, 2004 Report Posted February 1, 2004 93 octane is a complete waste on 9.25:1 compression. Quote
gp90se Posted February 1, 2004 Report Posted February 1, 2004 I told em that, he doesnt wanna listen 2 me. if he goes with juice, thats another story, but that motor will run happy with 89 all day long. -Jeff Quote
Vegeta Posted February 1, 2004 Report Posted February 1, 2004 Well im not going to advance the timing any more because it made no difference in the test car going higher octane and more spark. With nitrous, you would want less spark timing anyway and more fuel...but that doesn't get added in the computer. Quote
gp90se Posted February 1, 2004 Report Posted February 1, 2004 And thats why running a wet shot should be a better idea, correct (we were talking about this the other night) -Jeff Quote
Vegeta Posted February 1, 2004 Report Posted February 1, 2004 As long as it gets the fuel it needs, either is fine. A dry shot raises the fuel pressure I believe, and a wet shot adds another injector and makes the manifold a wet setup. I would prefer dry if that is in fact how they work. Quote
