    2.8/3.0 Diesel Chips!

    Donatorstore

    Found this tasty link on another forum. It appears there's a company in Europe doing diesel chips for about $250aus landed, with a chip cut off switch. They are cheaper without the cut off.

    I'm waiting on reports from some of the gurus over on the other forum, but I'm definitely keen on buying one. As someone mentioned from another forum about these chips, "No way on donkey **** is a variable resistor worth $1000" and I reckon he's spot on.

    Apparently you can make diesel chips from parts bought from Jaycar lol.. i didn't know that. We are all fooled into thinking they are some kind of super-dooper technology. We get pretty shafted because we are gullible at times.

    No-one has fitted one yet and tested it (maybe days away from that though) so I may eat my own words here, but reading the websites description, it looks to do pretty much the same thing.

    They come with an in-line fuse which apparently the top brands don't and adjustment is done via a grub screw so there are no pre-set settings. I guess you can ramp up the chip until something blows up. Not a great idea for beginners, but certainly for those of us willing to research on how far things can go, it's promising.

    I haven't read all of the website yet, but I didn't see anything about 4.2's. However, they might be under another section.

    I read that the 3.0 chips are plug and play whereas the 2.8's require some wiring, but nothing too difficult. One member from the other forum was going to attempt it this weekend (27/11/10) on his 2.8, so we'll wait and see.

    Promising stuff! 30% more power for $250? HELL YES!
