  • Engine Chipping

    Has anyone put a power chip in the new D4D engine ? Heard that it may need extra grunt ?

    Thanks,

    Extra grunt for what?

      I guess that would be the extra fat the 150 has to lug around.

        Ahhh!

        I thought they had already massaged a few extra KW from the newer D4D to compensate?

          Articles in 4X4 and Overlander say that there could be more power for towing and overtaking.

          Yes 150 has put on a few kilos, but looks great like an Italian swimwear model :lol:

                We tow a 2300kg van with our D4 and there is plenty of power. Guess some people just want a Ferrari!! LOL

                  I spoke to DP Chip the other day and they have the new chip out for the 150. Although the engine is the same as the 120 apparently Toyota changed the ECU and plugs so the same plugs and loom that fits the 120 will not fit the 150. I had one in my Pajero and it was fantastic. Gave a bit extra power but also improved fuel economy.

                  Does anyone know a place that has the DP chip at a good price, they are mega expansive nowdays. I bought my last one a couple of years ago from a guy in Albury. He could sell them a couple of hundred dollers cheaper than anyone else.
                  Thanks,

                    Do it! It will make a big amazing difference!

                    I just had a 3" Genie turbo back exhaust and a Tunit installed by
                    1. Gold Coast 4WD & Performance Centre and
                    2. Troy from http://tunit.com.au/

                    The 4WD dyno was busy so we could not dyno tune it yet. However on setting 5 and a bit of street tuning it really transformed the car. The car takes off and pull up the hill with ease. It probably feels like a petrol Aurion atm.

                    We will install a K&N air filter (if there is one for the 150) and put it on the dyno next Tuesday.

                      I've just bought the DP Chip, as the vehicle has only just had its 1000 km service is it too early?...

                          Hi cbm 8880

                          Its $1495 and you can ring Berrima Diesel and have it shipped for $20 from what I remember.

                            I notice that a lot of reassuring information is available on the website. But there is one question missing from their FAQ section...

                            Can it reduce the lifespan of my engine?

                            Has anyone with technical knowledge got an answer for this? The logical part of me says "yes it is making the engine work harder therefore it will reduce lifespan", but then again i'm no expert when it comes to modern diesel engines..

                            Thanks.
