Your Mum wrote:Just out of interest what is the NM output in the Lux after fitting your chip. I know my truck on paper is about 345Nm output. What dous your tune bump it up too?

I had mine on the dyno a couple of weeks ago and max of 444 Nm at 78 kph ,
Auto in 3 rd gear
I am running the standard tune as chip was supplied , think is is setting 3??

I've been running folder 2 custom 1 for a couple of months now on my standard D4-D with no problems. Loving the extra power Drove from Newcastle to Albury with folder 2 tune 1 to see if there was any fuel ecconomy benefit but alas.. 10.5 KM/L is the best I can get out of it at freeway speeds.

Still wanna get a 3" exhaust for it though...

Dan.

Ok so, I've put the 3" exhaust on as well as the EGT module and run it up to folder 2 custom 2. Took off up the road and it went into limp mode before I could even get into second gear. Checked and cleared the codes on the scan gauge and had another go. Same thing happened again so straight back to the shed to load the custom 1 map in again. Had a few issues with the chip not allowing anything to be written to it but I sorted that out and hit up google for what the codes meant.
Got a p0087 and a p0191 code which in short means the fuel rail pressure is too low. I then gave Jarrod at ChipIt a call and he tells me that what's happened is, is that the over pressure relief valve in the fuel rail has kicked in. This of course dumps the pressure in the rail and the fuel pressure sensor shoots of a code.
Only way to fix it is to have their fuel pressure mod done. Some d4-d's have a bit higher tolerance but I don't think mine does.
So it's back to custom 1 and I'm still pretty happy with that.

I'm buying one from a 2010 and putting it in my 2008. It Says folder 1 tune 5 on it.. Is this any good? Haven't picked it up yet. Wanted to put it in tomorow night.

Has anyone heard of the stinga chip ???

Pretty sure mine is tune 5 no issues

You can always change it

Has anyone had or installed a roo's system Chip ?

beachbum62, viewtopic.php?f=3&t=10592&p=145220&hilit=vmn+dyno#p145220 here's a link for roosystems chips

Thx Pete '90 after reading all the troubles with the Roo's chip im totally not going with them.

This is your best bet and what most guys are running, but be aware all of these aftermarket chips place more stress on all your engine internals and injectors

As Pete said, that, or look into Unichips or HKS iD's. They're piggy back ECU's and are tuned on the dyno specifically for your car, and have fail-safes. Can be a lot safer than a chip.

Hello all
I have had a chip it running on tune 5 for a few years now with only a few codes thrown over the years but just recently had 4 codes thrown at once 69, 88 and 93 cleared the codes and all runs well 100km on and was wondering if I should KO the chip or not the car runs nicely with the chip but do not want any major failure. Has anyone had any major failure due to a chip it module on Tune 5 is it within safe parameters for the engine long term. Thanks in advance for any advice.
Regards Steve

Have run tune 5 for over 3 years no issues , But if I had my time over I would not run any chip at all dont care what it is .
If you wanna go fast buy a petrol or V8 diesel .

Hi, are piggybacks plug and play? how do you think they're safer? Thanks!

What the ....is a piggyback?i see you guys mentioning it all the time...

another ecu wired in before the main ecu's to trick the main ecu's. if you get what i mean

Do chips affect fuel consumption? If so, positively or negatively?
