Just out of curiosity (since I have an S4) what do Porken's chips cost?

Mike Frye

You can go to liftbars.com and look up the chips, click on 'buy it!' and you can see the different options and prices.

For comparison I think the Autothority chips go for $400+

Has anyone run Kens' chipsets with a G-Tech? Would be nice to be able to compare results without going to the dyno...

Pardon my ignorance Mike, but what is my CO that needs to be good?? I have replaced the O2 sensor in recent years. And I figure any adjusting to the idle or tuning would be after I install Ken's torque rings & replace my plugs with the NGKs. Thanks.

MjRocket

Now that's a good idea ( sorta a poor man's Dyno)..anyone??

MjRocket

Thanks..Yeah his chips are a lot cheaper then I would have thought...Can NOT wait for the s4 version.

Shane

Ken has a manual for doing that, you can do it without the blink'r just not as easily.

Uhhhhh I have a set that I'll sell for much less than that if anyone's interested!

Ken has a gadget called a 'Blink'r' that will help you adjust the MAF so that you're at a good setting at warm idle.

Once the idle and CO are good at warm idle, the system knows how to adjust off of that at the rest of the ranges, but I think the maps are all relative to that (except WOT).

I still need to adjust mine and after I do I plan to donate my Blink'r to the 928OC along with my idle test kit.

The idle is easy enough to adjust now and then again after you get the TQ rings and new plugs, and would probably help your car run better. For the CO I would agree you can probably wait until you get the final setup done if it won't be too long.


You can also use a WB02 in place of the blink'r.

No doubt. Probably have a hard time selling them here though.

I was planning to send my MAF to Kevin at Injection Labs to have it recalibrated. He did the MAF on the '91 & was very fast.

I just upgraded from v3.6 to v4.0, and it is just AWESOME!!!!!

Power delivery is now super smooth, and the response is so much improved.

I'm super happy.

I just ordered the 4.0 upgrade. Need to replace my bad TPS before they get here...

Don Carter

Installed 4.0 yesterday, and all I can say is wow! I honestly didn't think I'd be able to tell the difference from 3.5 to 4.0, but Ken's upgrade fees are very reasonable so I thought I'd go for it anyway. There seems to be a lot more mid band power, that's about the only way I can describe it, and this is in 90+ Houston heat with the AC on.

One question, to Ken, my 3.5 chips said 89 octane, but the new ones don't. Am I ok running 89 with these?

PorKen

V4.0 was a complete rewrite. Totally different than all the versions before it.
Lots of cool stuff in V4, including Sport Mode.


It should say "89+ octane" on the EZ chip.
89 is OK, if you drive 'sanely' most of the time.
If you drive 'like a damn fool' most of the time, or on the track, 91 or higher.

Is v4.0 the last chip version for the S3s?
