Doug Rippie/ Haibeck Chip
I recently bought a 2 owner 91 .
The only thing that seemed not stock/original for the first 100 miles I drove it was the 1-4 skip shift (CAGS) was disabled. I thought they must have used the bypass plug. I knew when I bought it that it ran rough and had fuel/ignition gremlins. I installed a set of 16 all new FIC injectors, new coils, plugs and wires. Car runs strong and very smooth now. I bought a Chip from Marc Haibeck, went to install it today and when I pulled the cover off of ECM, to my surprise I noticed it had a Doug Rippie chip installed. Reading Marc’s directions it ends up being a hybrid, where The DR plugs into the Haibeck and the Haibeck plugs into the ECM. The DR did allow fans to run continuously, once I installed Haibeck they cycle on and off once it reaches temp. The Haibeck does default to full power which I like. 1)My thought is that fan life would be longer with continued running after reaching temp instead of the constant cycling on and off endlessly ? Virtually any electric motor is going to be happier running constant. 2) Has anyone had this same situation or have extensive knowledge of both e DR CHIP and the Haibeck Chip ? 3) I have no idea if the DR added any torque or HP? I installed the Haibeck Chip and because of rain coming in I was only able to run it in my shop for 10-15 minutes. Upon startup the rpm’s Jump up high 1500-1800 for a couple seconds then The idle would settle down and be lower and smoother than the DR. Any input here would help me tremendously Sent from my iPhone using ZR-1 Net Registry
