In what way is it affected?

i read one of the posts wrong, mybad

[CHIP IT]

every chip affects the scanguage as the ECU understands the factory fuel trims only. When you change the tune the factory ECU is still computing the fuel usage based on original figures.

They are out but usually they are out by a set amount (say 1lt per 100kms) and you can check this via the litres used Vs kms travelled.

Hope that explains it.

Does anyone run a chip it chip for a 1kzte hilux ? Ive just had one fitted and it hasnt made much of a difference at all jut wondering what tunes and boost pressures people run ?

Hi Jono

if its connected correctly you should see a green light and a red light active when the chip is chipping.

On ignition you should see one LED light up. The other turns on AFTER the MAP or TPS connection wire gets a signal. ie the car is under way. If connected try getting someone to give the car a good strong flat rev and look for the other LED to light up.

You are not trying to redline the car, just load the turbo. This is done by a sharp hard punch of the throttle for .5 of a second.

If you do not see the activation led light up it is not Chipping at all. To isolate if its the Chip, run the MAP wire to the TPS as well and try the hard rev again. It should light up. If not, give us a call on 1800 784882. We will sort it out.

Alby. Thanks for your wrap. That's what people who buy the Aussie product want to see. We don't always get it right but we just need to be judged by how we handle the issue. Again, thanks for a hearty praise. Cheers

Hi Robert,

I just realised I bought this off Jono and am having the same problem. It just doesn't seem to be working, and I haven't seen the green light work. I've spoken to Rhys a few times about locating the TPS wire and he is unable to tell me what wire it is.

I have now used the multi meter and tried three different wires that are giving volt readings and but still no luck.
Do you have fitting instructions for the Hilux? and is it possible the unit could be faulty?

[qld hilux]

Oh, I forgot to mention I have an 02 1KZ-TE and the instructions were for a Prado, which seems to have a different TPS set-up.
Cheers,
Wayne

Could be possible. You would feel if it is working. If you cannot feel it working, it ain't working.

We have many customers with that unit and they work very well. I good mate of mine has it on his car and pulls a 2.5 ton Caravan at times and other times tows a maximum sized boat. He loves it.

He says on a very hard run (when he has to get somewhere fast) it will use slightly more fuel (he expected that) but on moderate running he is in front.

Include the original purchase invoice from Jono and give them the NEW mailing address.

Let me know how you go.

Cheers

The 0-5 volt reference is just to tell the chip it should switch on. As long as there is a reference (any) it will switch on. Ask in the letter to email you the instructions for the vehicle it is now fitting on.

[qld hilux]

Thanks for your help Robert. I'm sorting it out with Cristian now. I let you know how I go.

[CHIP IT]

ok, let us here know how u go

Cheers

[qld hilux]

Hi Robert,
just letting you know Christian from Chip It has sent me a new chip and and return bag to send the old one back.
It's the new version too, so I can tune it on the lap top. Only took to days to get here and I can tell you It's definitely working.
I really appreciate what you guys have done for me.
Cheers,
Wayne

[CHIP IT]

thats what we're here for

Thanks Wayne

[Swinny]

any updates at all for the chip unit Robert... or still all the same

[CHIP IT]

Swinny what unit do you have?

[Swinny]

not to sure im out at work will be home on tues night, but was for a 2009 sr5 td 5spd bought about 1yr ago..

[CHIP IT]

does it connect to the battery?

[CJY91LUXXY]

ChipIt what tune would you recommend on a 2007 model with 3" Straight through no mufflers or cats. I'm putting an Egt gauge in to monitor the temps also. Currently on tune 5 with no problems.

[CHIP IT]

if you have the fuel limiter disc installed up to tune 13 ... but don't except good fuel economy at those settings.

if you DON'T have the fuel limiter disc installed tune 10 is about max ... possibly tune 9. Try it. You cannot hurt it... you are looking for black smoke (gone too far) or if the engine check light comes on under HARD acceleration

[CJY91LUXXY]

Okay thanks. I'll try tune 10. Can I buy a limiter disc from you guys?

[CHIP IT]

No. I'll give it for free. Where are you?

[CJY91LUXXY]

No. I'll give it for free. Where are you?

Oh Thanks, Cheers i'll send you a Pm
