Van Akken Chip

[hawk77]

HI there guys,

I came accross with a Lexus IS200 Van akken performance chip and I am just wondering if is really worth it? Does make a difference ?

[sparkystav]

Never even heard of it mate,

you got a link or anything?

[Rob]

dont bother with the chip.... a chip has never worked properly or proved to be of benefit

No linky but:

this is proven to add between 15-20% more power.

specs:

Improved Power and Torque

Better throttle response and acceleration

Simple plug-in-plug-out fitting and removal

Power and Torque increases achieved by Fuel Injection Timing and Quantity changes

Multiple Position Switch giving In-cab selectable Power levels From 0 to 105Hp

Easy to reach Plug-in location with easily accessible connectors

High quality components and wiring assembly ensure reliability and ease of fitting

Improved fuel efficiency and lower EGTs through injection timing changes

Does sound very likely to provide those sort of benefits to me. See if you can get a written guarantee that it'll give you between 15 and 20% more power if you put it on a dyno before and after, I somehow suspect they won't agree to that.

It's a friend of mine, however he put it up on eBay for sale few days ago...I've just found out today :tsktsk:

Linky

I am kind of skeptic as well

It's Van Aaken. They went bust a couple of years ago, apparently.
