Does the Racechip work? Is a tuning box safe? How much power can you get from a piggy back ECU? Will a tuning box destroy my car?

Just wanted to let you know we have a new Racechip video coming soon! We are rebuilding the Guilietta engine, re-fitting the Racechip and we are off to the dyno to give it a proper test.. Make sure your notifications are on so you don't miss it. Thanks again for all the support guys 😘

You can't use the onboard computer to measure fuel consumption with a tuning box as the whole point of the box is to trick the car into using more fuel and more boost by modifying the sensor signals to say they are lower than they really are. Hence the ludicrous 80mpg figure. Only way to do it is to record mileage between topping off the tank and dividing by the fuel used.

@HomeBuilt 2 жыл бұрын

The RaceChip works a bit different from other tuning boxes and the trip computer did even out and go back to normal readings, the 80mpg was down to a very short slow journey after a reset.

fellow Giulietta owner here and just wondering what it's like in dynamic mode :)

@HomeBuilt 2 жыл бұрын

Awesome, dynamic just sharpens the throttle response so that combined with the extra power and torque is great.

I have a Genesis G80 Sport (3.3 twin turbo) 365 bhp and 376 lb tq and considering one of these boxes. Are you still enjoying it.

Wee bit confused about this .. can you still use the DNA from the Alfa and the race chip in race settings ??

@HomeBuilt 2 жыл бұрын

Yes mate, DNA still works fine. DNA only changes the throttle response to make it sharper.

So this doesn't re program your ECU its a piggyback contoller ?

No just alters the signals your ecu recieves so that the main ecu can adjust fuelling, timing etc

Have you done a follow up video to this? Are you still using the chip? Also, do you or anyone know how this works with automatics? Most people say that it needs time to settle in whilst you slowly move up the tiers.

@HomeBuilt Жыл бұрын

Hi mate, we never got to doing a follow up as the car blew a head gasket and then I ended up selling it after the repair but the 12 months we had it in was brilliant.

Dynamic mode done the usual and increased the throttle response but it didn’t feel that much different from setting 5 to be honest. In the next few weeks we have another video coming but this time on a dyno to get the proper results

@tofutrader 2 жыл бұрын

I got my racechip a couple of months ago, it take a few weeks for the chip to work because it has to get used to your fueling perimeters. I have it on a 2019 BMW X1 b46 engine. I can say it definitely works. I am able to keep up with cars that have wayyyy more horsepower than mine.

@Shaggy12321 2 жыл бұрын

I bought one a while back and it had a claimed boost in power from 163bhp to 201bhp, i've not had it on a dyno, but the speed increase is very, very noticeable. I also clocked a 6.9 second 0-60mph when stock I did a 7.9.
