FAQ CHIP IT Diesel Performance Solutions Power Module

[CHIP IT]

Hi Scott

Thanks for the feedback.

I glad you're happy with the chip. But we really do like to hear all the juicy bits ... so feel free to let us know your experience.

OK, the software may already be unzipped. So disregard that part.

The folder that has the tuner in (IE FOLDER2) will have the program you are looking for.

Remember, that you dont HAVE to change tunes. It is plug and drive.

If you cannot get the cable working, it may be a faulty Serial to USB adaptor. The only thing we DON'T make ourselves!!!

Send it back with a note telling that you couldn't get it working. We will test it but if its working our end, the issue is your end. And that is in the realms of geekville.

IE. We cannot offer support for individualy notebook computers as you understand.

Hope this helps

Cheers

I thought that the folder "IE FOLDER2" was the one I needed, but just wanted to comment that the instructions say to unzip when you dont need to.

I know I dont have to change tunes, but like a kid with a new toy, i want to have a play with it - which leads me to the next point of making sure that if i DO need to play with it, I can.

I will keep trying to sort it over the next couple of days, and will let you know how I go, and I do understand geeksville rules our lives too much for my liking...... (and I dont expect you to offer support for notebooks)

Cheers

at the time of writing the READ ME, Justin WAS zipping the program inside the zip file

Its no longer the case as you point out.



All good Scott. Let me know how you go.

Robert,

My old man has a NS/NT Pajero and is interested in one of your chips, but is concerned that it won't be compatible as he has an auto gearbox. Your website doesn't distinguish between manual/slush box in the figures quoted - I assume the chip would be ok but can you please tell me what sort of gains he can expect from a stock vehicle?

Thanks

Scott

I own a NS Paj auto and until recently was running stock exhaust with pdf still fitted. It will product over 30% torque increase from stock. Recently I removed the PDF and now enjoy a must faster turbo spool up. the restrictive PDF does a great job of slowing down the exhaust flow so out it came. I had to re tune the Chip but it does go well now

The NT has a far better DPF however as it is a filter it too is a restriction and a big one at that.

I haven't measured the fuel economy yet however I believe it will improve as i wont be getting any post burn injection ... which is described here: http://chipit.com.au/support (4th item down called Cheat Sheet Diesel Particulate Filter Info)


Hope this helps

Well have spent some time today trying to get the chip to talk to the laptop - no joy.

Tried using a second laptop - still no joy.

It seems at this stage like the driver is not installing properly, thus not being able to see the cable. I will send the cable back to you to check it is ok, but is there any way to get a new copy of the driver software?

Thanks,

Scott

Has anyone installed the DPS chip with the sprint booster?

Has anyone installed the DPS chip with the sprint booster?

I have to use xp to get it to work.

[BundyBoy]

Tried both XP and Vista - no joy on either.

Has anyone installed the DPS chip with the sprint booster?

Yep, many have but if you haven't purchased one yet, try the chip first ... you won't need buy one as you will be very pleased with the throttle response of your vehicle after the Chip install.

You would be better spending your $400.00 on the EGT Controller to retune the Chip program if your temps ever go up too high. Good safety right there ... and YES, it can be fitted as an add on if guys already have a Chip.

In Dash display looks real cool too.

please try the drivers on the website but also download the READ ME FIRST file on the first line.

Let me know how you go after going through the NEW READ ME FIRST Doc.

You MAY have a faulty lead.

Has anyone installed the DPS chip with the sprint booster?

Yes......very very impressive.....and now with my rear diff being open due to locker I get wheelspin everywhere! Impossible to drive in the wet with the sprint booster on!

[CHIP IT]

OH LORD !!!

[BundyBoy]

Robert

It looks like the lead may be faulty as I have downloaded the drivers on 2 separate computers and both of them say the device failed to start. Will post them back in the next few days.

By the way, just got back from 4 days camping with the camper trailer up at Rainbow beach and am even more happy with the chip. Towing a 900kg+ trailer and fully loaded dual cab was no drama - even able to overtake others on long uphill with ease with no great leap in fuel usage. Beach driving again was no problem with more than enough power on tap when I managed to be caught one gear too high.

Stopped at an TJM store on the way home and pi$$ed off the guys who work there as a customer was looking at buying a DP Chip and I steered him toward your product - right in front of them. I have no doubt that your product was rubbished as soon as I walked out of the store and the praises of DP were sung, but at least the other guy has your details now.

Cheers

Hi Scott thanks for pushing work our way.

BTW did you get the cable driver which was placed on the chip it website. That one will get the cable working.

I had to take my chip out for my injector warranty claim with Toyota.

I really missed the power on my last trip without it, on the open road I found that without the extra grunt from the chip I was not able to hold the taller gears as long resulting in higher fuel consumption.

Now that I have had the injectors replaced, how long should I drive it for before refitting the chip?????

[CHIP IT]

DONT WAIT !




You can fit straight away
