TorqueV8 chip info

[chrisdurham]

hi guys,

has anyone any info on this chip?

It has been fitted by a previous owner along with a little switch (near the fusebox) that can switch between settings? supposedly a leaner map?

Its just a TVR chip with a torqueflow badge! Its likely to be off a different engine size to compensate for the appalling airflow calibration on the Torqueflow unit, all the ones Ive seen so far are from a 5ltr. Do you have a TF AFM? The swich could switch between maps if its where the tune resistor should be, but Torque flow never had the ability to reprogram the chips, hence the using of TVR ones.

hi there, thanks,

ive got a picture of it ill post up later, no the AFM looks stock to me - so doesnt have any of the other hardware.

Interested in the comment re- the resistor, how can i prove eg where will it go?

Cheers

It would be in place of the tune resistor thats normally found plugged into a 2 way blue connector that pokes out of the main ECU loom in the passenger footwell. You cant run a leaner map if the cars are fitted with physical catalysts, as they cannot deal with a wider mixture range and tend to overheat and melt!

This should help with Marks explanation This is the stock resistor but you can see the blue connector Blitz refers too.

Are the one I need to put a switch in and a 390 ohm resistor and sell it as a 300BHP Upgrade to the unknowing on Ebay then.

That would never work Mark as you have a conscience
