General mick crich chips work on the 899 engine

gazzaman2k · Oct 1, 2006

brought a chip for my 1.1i turbo but as my engine isnt in the car yet id thought id try it on my 899seicento sx

plugged it into a cinq 1.1i spi ecu box and plugged it into the car, well it pulls better in 2nd/3rd but nothing really more after that dunno about fuel consumption as ive only just put it in this morning, only prob with it is when you let off throotle the car seems to judder a tiny bit but atleast itll sort the lost key problem for 899 owners now

all you need is a key which fits the barrel and away you go

oh and you get the anoying key symbol stay on but take the bulb out and that sorts that hehe

just thought id let you all know

Your going to run a turbo using a mckrich chip? I'm not sure it can adjust for that. Also it will run smoother after 300 miles or so.

yeah along with punto 75 cam and tricker carb

just been playing in my sei again seems to have settled in a bit more now seems even more nippy getting to 40 now

1st gear seems a tiny bit longer for some reason more pull

dont use the mckrich on the turbo, it advances the ignition timing which you dont want at all

cant i sort that by making the timing out by a bit?

GhostWKD · Oct 1, 2006

nope then the timing on the other bits will be out not just the igniton timing

really are better off sticking to the standard map or a custom one i'd say

grrrr i have the problem of my key is coded and need the code deactivated though

hence why the mckrich chip is in

cant be assed messing with ignition barrels and things.

ill just have to try it for now.... well when the enigines in (hopefully end of oct) sending my TB of to tricker tomorrow to have work done, just having probs now finding a punto 75 cam

might just buy a full punto 75 engine, get the pistons done to allow low comp and then run a 1242 turbo :\ but piston work is a tad expensive

so might put that off for a while

GhostWKD · Oct 2, 2006

hmm i could be wrong btw just to clarify, just in theory the advanced timing isnt what you'd want on a turbo engine, could result in detonation etc

99sei · Oct 2, 2006

ghost, didnt you also tell me the punto 75 cam wont go in a turbo or something like that?

you tried explaing it to me but i was too busy drooling over your car

GhostWKD · Oct 2, 2006

yeah was more of a he said that she said that kinda thing lol but iirc it was to do with the overlap which would not be good for the turbo, although i know pete ran or runs one... (fixit pete)

The way gazzaman is approaching it it won't last very long anyway.

Your are right a completely different cam design should be used for the turbo set-up.

So will the chip fit into the original 899 ecu (without any problems)??

Oldschool · Oct 2, 2006

Not in all of them as some have the memory in the processor chip.

rallycinq · Oct 2, 2006

Both my 899 ECUs don't have the seperate eprom.

Cheers

Are we suggesting something here

Could it be possible to plug the 1.1 ecu into the 899?

thats what he says hes done in the top post

gazzaman2k · Oct 2, 2006

yup its a ecu from the 1.1i sporting cinq works fine on a 899cc engine

just judders a bit when you let of throttle.

i thought with turbos to see more power its best getting it to spool up lower down the rev range so it creates more boost? hence the 75 cam?

just missed a bloody brand spanker mf2 on ebay for £82

auto bidder thing didnt bid for me

petebarchetta · Oct 6, 2006

will theMick crich chip work on the 999cc then??

custard · Oct 6, 2006

that was covered in the 1st post

@ gazzaman,pm mk' and see if he can do you a standard map with the immob disabled
