Ok, I have a stock 2000 or so I thought. My friend has a 2001 with chip, shift kit, and rolls on 20's and air filter. My truck pulls faster then his. My boost goes up a lot faster and i have no chip but my upper pully is about 1/4 inch smaller then his. That couldn't make that big of a differents can it? I thought you have to have a chip with a pully any help will be welcome....chris

 

yah his truck seems to pull alot harder than mine also my psp chip makes my motor shut off at WOT some times but dident di it for the first like 5 6 months i have the PSP 4 way chip and when passing cars the engine will just die and i have to put it in nutral and start it very imbarising can anyone tell me what the deal is, Ihave already pulled it to see if it is loose or contacks not clean enough but it still dosent work
thaks,
Justin

 

it could have something to do with the chip...that'd be my first thought.

hopefully someone more knowledgeable will chime in.

on a side note, are yall a part of halo? what part of houston yall in? I am near katy myself and just got my L 2 months ago!

-Mike

on a side note, definately the reason his pulls harder has something to do with the dying part!

 

Chris, Yes if you have a 2lb Upper you will boost up quicker,
and hellz ya you'll feel and see it, even without a Chip.

Justin, there's a post going around where someone
had the identicle prob


I would talk to Sal and or Jubelands
Maybe they can help

 

It can happen and it is 'chip-related'. Happened to me at the track, at the 1/8th mark. I substituted another chip and had no more "shut off" problems. Btw, it's more than "embarrasing", it could cause a crash.

funny post...i was just talking to Sal the other day (at Dyno day in LI) about my Superchip doing to same thing....the last time it did it, the engine died and i almost got run over by a Mack truck!!!

maybe i need a reburn or something??

 

we are in college station..I thought you couldn't run a upper pully with out a chip shoot i have a #2 pully and didn't even know it.

 

Sounds similar to what was going on with my chip. everytime i would attempt WOT the truck would die. I was told that it was due to the fact that the wires were picking up interference which is what caused the truck to die. We then cut the wires all the way down to the chip which solved the problem but at the same time got rid of my switch so now i only have one program available till i can get it fixed.

I was told that shielding the wires would help.

 

are you guys taping your chips down to the pcm?

 

yes i think his is taped down to keep it from coming out is that good or bad.

 

good

 

It's not a 'connection' problem. It's internal within the chip.

You can run pulleys without chips, but you won't experience the "true potential". It will, however, be noticeable (as you describe).
