    Dinan and JC chips for sale

    I have a Dinan chip and a JC chip, both from my 173 dme. Both of these will work with 91 octane gas.

    I'd like $150 each for them. I'll ship for free.

    Please don't turn this into a "this chip is better than that thread". There are plenty of those discussions already out there.

      Nope, the Dinan came in my car when I bought it. I changed it out to a JC. I'm now getting a Mark D 93 chip.

      Interesting note, after changing to the JC from Dinan the dyno runs showed about 3-4hp less. Of course that is top end HP.

        so the dinan is better? or would the JC be better all around? or what can you say from personal experience?

          I think the JC had better all around performance and better throttle response. The Dinan scored higher on top end with the dyno and also ran smoother in the car. The JC tends to pop and cough sometimes on backpressure.

            I have a few Q's, but I'll PM you to keep the thread clean. ;)

                  Very interested in the dinan chip, however, i already have a mild cam and port/pollished head, will the chip still work straight up in this application? or will i need further tuning?
                  And is the redline increased with this chip? couldnt see it on the site.
                  Thanks

                    Redline is increased with both chips. I also was running both chips with a cam. My head isn't ported, but shouldn't make a difference.

                          No, they are not programmable. They have set parameters for ignition timing and fuel.
