DIY Engine Chip.

[fred]

Hi all, is there is thread for chipping a GU IV Patrol?

[my third 256]

hi again have just purchaced a no limit diesel chip on ebay wanted $149 for it had a make an offer .offered $130 and was accepted postage ftom germany registered was $10 so all up $140
took 2 weeks to arive and 5 minuites to install how easy was that but had to get a waterproof enclosure to put it in went to jcar and got one for $15 they asked if they could have a look inside
and the fella recons theres about $30 af stuff inside just like all the other brands he has inspected
what a rip off if you pay the $1400 for other brands
well now we put it in and went for a drive up the freeway to murray bridge and back about 130 km round trip plenty of hills
my mate a diesel mechanic with the metro fire dept came for a ride as he had driven my patrol
yes more power when the boot went in up the hills ,idles lower ,revs lower when crusing .
filled with diesel and better fuel economy about 1.5 ltrs so all in all am very happy and mate had a drive also to confirm my findings and he agreed with me so now he has ordered one for his patrol
just one thing though they unly make then for common rail
imfo on these at http://No limit tuning
thanks for reading this owell if i only blow $140 i can live with that not $1400
regards stephen

Are chips only for Diesels or are the for Petrol/LPG engines as well

I'm pretty sure chipping a petrol engine without a turbo wouldn't do much except for maybe giving you a little better fuel economy.

Correct, the chip on it's own will do very little. The money would be better spent on a full extractor exhaust system.
