- Does the RaceChip RS tuning chip box really works? How to install it? How does it drive? Dino test?!? Well I will answer all those question in this video!
Great video. Nice installation guide. I really liked the way you made this video! Even a person without knowledge of cars would understand this video! Well done!
Thank you. It means a lot. If you can please subscribe.
Secondly. Did you feel any difference in power and torque or is it just placebo?
@@YalcinOfficial on 6th setting there is 226 HP compared to 190 HP stock. Torque is 460 NM but to be honest the best where you need to keep it is setting 2. That would gives you about 205 HP.
@@bonevchannel okay! maybe you should make a following video of how you use the settings in the car. There is no good videos on CZcams, sontou could be the first to review it!
Looking at one for my grandland x turbo 130bhp. Says it boosts hp to 163bhp and adds an extra 60nm of torque.
It all depends on the car and tolerance of the engine. It will give you that but off course you can fine tune it with the presets.
Great video zoom ins were amazing
Thank you. I am glad you like it.
I still have the chip, still running great.
@@bonevchannel good to hear! I am getting mine tomorrow. The RS version.
@@josem6929 I think the current RS is the best value. You can achieve the results of the GT version by just turning the switch to setting #6. What you saw on the video was with #6. Default is setting #4. I reverted it back to #4 since #6 produces a weird gap after 4000RPM.
I see a dot just past level 6 i click mine past six to the dot and it seems it's faster, is this level 7 ????
I have never seen the dot so I have never tested that position. I would be careful going all the way to 6 or past it. Each position should be giving 3% so I kept mine at 4 which is the default.
Nice video
Thank you.
I have a lancer and i wanna buy the same chip but at the same time i dont wanna remove the engine cover i just want to plug and play.
No idea about the Mitsubishi. Isn't the cover going to just pop out by pulling like on any other car? The chip is really plug and play in general.
What is the actual reason to avoid the cheapest one?
If I remember correctly the cheapest one gives less ratio per price and more importantly uses a less powerful chip which is related to the response. Also it has less number of presets. In general the cheapest thing in the range is not desired no matter what you buy.
Super Race chip RS Tuning
Not sure if it super but it is easy and effective 🙂
Hi, I received the racechip today. It has the same engine. I have a question. How long should you wait for the engine cover after locking the car? Did you do anything extra? Best regards
can you rephrase the question as I do not understand it. If you are asking about the time before you can unplug it, I wait until the indicator on the front of the chip is off. That tells me the power to it was cut by the engine.
@@bonevchannelI did everything perfectly. audi a4 150hp now around 190hp with chip race. but I feel a little extra horsepower above 3,000 rpm, is that normal? Do you immediately feel extra horsepower or in high rpm or certain circuits? how works for you can tell your experience
@@yasineken4121 Mine was felt more or less immediately around 1500 rpm. Mine was a different engine which in my opinion was already tuned from the factory since it was already 190 HP. With race-chip it went over 220 HP.
@@bonevchannel I did a test drive again but I feel an extra 5hp. really weird. but race chip says that nothing can be done unfortunately. I will return it and get my money back.
Race chip: as already mentioned engines have a different serial tolerance, this means that the performance given by the maker is not always the actual performance of the engine.
Depending on the deviation (up or down) it can result in a different performance delta with tuning.
@@yasineken4121 I moved to EVs, so much better and quite now 🙂
have you ever installed in a mercedes s400 cdi w220? or do you know of any guides?
I have not.
Will this exact unit work in the same way with b8 143bhp?
www.racechip.com/shop/audi/a4-b8-2007-to-2015/2-0-tdi-1968ccm-143hp-105kw-320nm.html
It says it will give you 31 hp and 75 more Nm. Not bad.
@@bonevchannel thanks for info. But are all these units the same? Are they different let's say 143bho from 190bhp? Are they interchangeable? I can buy one that was used with 190bhp engine but I don't know if this will just fit my 143bhp car. Cheerio
@@SuperStareGry I do not know about that. You can ask the customer service I guess.
Dear, I am going to buy one for my Audi A4 TDI 150 HP... are you satisfied with the racing chip and are you still using it without any problems?
Hi, yes I still use it. I had to send it back because of some weird behavior but it turns out it was defective so they sent me a new one with a new software. All good now.
@@bonevchannel What strange behavior, Can you tell me, please?
@@yasineken4121 it was not shifting ok.
@@bonevchannel ok understand mine is manual switching. I have had the pedal box for 3 months now and I definitely recommend it with Chip Race, it will be a perfect combination. will order my racing chip this week. thank you for your response and time
What do you mean not shifting ok?
You mean between the settings or gearbox?
What is the diference between numbers form 1 to 6?
I have contacted RaceChip in the past and in general every step increases about 3% the power. This is not absolute value as it depends on your fuel type, quality and etc. I tested mine on max setting and since the car runs fine there I kept it at 6. Actually in the city that gives the best economy too 😉
Thanke you for your answer. I am considoring to buy one for a long time now but there are allot of mixed opinions. I still cannot understand how it is actually working, doese it just increase the fule presure or is it doing allot of other things.
@@Gani7890 it works by monitoring 7 analog channels. This off course depends on the model you will get. I recommend skipping the low cost one and going for middle or top model. Mine is middle range one but the hardware is the same as the top model. From what I experienced the middle option can be set to give you the performance promised by the top one. My case was exactly this.
@@Gani7890 You got the main point - yes, it's increasing the fuel pressure. I also have Race Chip, and the OBD show a bit more than 1700 bar (and this is not the possible maximum, it is possible to be increased and more), when the maximum on the sleeper cars usually is approximately 1600 bar. It works pretty well (I'm satisfied), but the life of the fuel system will be different. If you're looking for a cheap option just for a bit more dynamic everyday driving, chip boxes are the cheapest one. If you want something serious for real race performance, and especially if you have an expensive car, only remap will help. About the fuel economy, it's a bit something like nothing. In the beginning is possible some small decreasing of the fuel consumption because of the better fog during the injecting with higher pressure if you have an older car (I believe you will not figure out it), but with the time (sooner or later), the result will turn opposite, because of the erosion of the nozzles. If we are talking about the emissions during the HU/TUV... hmmm...
@@Gani7890 It lies to the control unit, that is, if the control unit says that it has to inject 5, the chip says that it is injecting 3, so the control unit injects 7 to compensate, it does the same with the air.
Does it work on manuell cars?
I do not see why not. If you check your car in their website and it says it works you are all good.
OTTIMO. HAI RAGGIUNTO 226CV CON L'IMPOSTAZIONE 6 ? (QUINDI 36 CV IN PIU')
Yes, I used position 6 to achieve 226 HP.
@@bonevchannel ok grazie, ma hai testato anche le differenze con le altre opzioni 1-5 ?
Io ho comprato un racechip RS, installato su una macan 2.0 245cv e sono molto curioso realmente di quanto sia l'aumento. purtroppo non ho la possibilità di testarlo con dynotest.
@@gianfrynco I have tested it only with option 6
@@gianfryncoavaia hai un macan e gli metti le centraline aggiuntive spendi i soldi e fai una mappatura seria
lots are faulty :( can boost them yourself :)
This is my second one. No issue so far. My first one for my older Audi B7 had to be reprogrammed and then it worked perfect.
the cheap one comes with 5 maps and not 3.
That is true. My mistake. Still I think everyone should avoid it.
Racechip doesn't work at all.
I would disagree totally. Keep in mind I am not sponsored by any reseller! I did the dyno test just to prove it to myself that it actually works and it does. The chip does give you ~20 % more power depending on the setting. Keep in mind this is my second car with such chip. On the older A4 B7 TFSI the difference was so much that the tires could not hold the car when pushed to the max at start. That older one was first mapped software and it gave the same result as the chip. Then I returned it to stock and put the chip in which I prefer as it is easier to adjust and remove. After all everybody can believe whatever they want but the video and the graphs showed what it actually does.
