Obit Piggyback ECU

[Skodee]

Anyone here installed any piggyback ecu on their Octy?

Check this out: www.obitasia.com

 

Just wanted to know what is the experience with this kinda of ecu enhancement.

Yeap, any bros here had Obit piggyback installed on their car for year 2003 onwards ?

 

I'm one of those pretty interested in this stuff but from what I know all new car's ECU is too smart to teach them any new things, so scare our ECU might not learn anything new from the piggyback !

There was a posting on this Obit thingy previously, probably lost during server crashes.

I heard Orbit has one advantage over the rest of piggybags, it can monitor the O2 sensor while the rest can't. Good or not I dunno....

There's a thread in Buddyclub forum on this.

Heard of Halltech? Saw it during Motorshow last week.... but engine's still the limit even though if add on piggy back ecu.... what ya think?

[Lightspeed]

Halltech?

Haven't heard of it Who is it being distributed by?

[Skodee]

Just happen to see it during motorshow...run by a few 'ang mos' and look very professional... have been approached by VolksHaven regarding Obit and he mentioned he had installed in VW Golf and Passat with good on-the-road results... hmm....wonder who else has done it on their Octy with its limited bhp and engine limitation...

Did u read the thread on this in BCF?

[Skodee]

Have checked out BCF....good info there....thanks.

[Lightspeed]

After reading about it... quite scared leh

I read a post in SHC forum. some 03 civic fitted with obit recently plus I/H/E done amounted about 14% increase in bhp and 8% gain on torque. the link is http://www.shc-forum.com/forum/ftopic15028...&highlight=obit

MTM has very strong pull..but its individual car code related.no serial dnloading.

REVO is shiok, low-mid range punch scary n offers a security program and also switchable boost. on their SPS modules.When u wan stock, jus switch to stock n if u wan more power, then UP it baby!!

LS, i think you are referring to Haltech

[Lightspeed]

Hey ... see you here as well

 

This Haltech any good?

want to mod don't scare lah.

 

the way how Obit piggyback achieves performance, from a layman perspective, is what you would expect from a ECU chip/software-romm update, except that there's more freeplay and flexibility, and the onus is still on the expertise of the tuner, who knows where's the limit and how much to improve your car performance. The chip is as good as the tuner :)

[Lightspeed]

Precisely... not many good tuners around... many cars got fried

[Zen]

I guess,when it comes to tuning, especially 'early adopter', abit of risk taker spirit is required and certainly not for weak heart.

 

Based on the parameters taht are being tuned, and the goal of such parameter tuning, perhaps one can start from a conservative guideline, recommended by the manufacterer. This is because currently our ECU are normally detuned for general market. Conservative tuning restores the intended power, and then from there incrementally fine tune to achieve your desire goal.

 

Above are just conceptual theory, usual disclaimer applies!

I've got 2 friends who have it on their civics.... one had no problems...the other one.... hahaha
