Diesel Performance Solutions Power Module
FAQ
Q: Can anybody fit the Performance Chip?
A: Yes. We have designed the Diesel Performance Chips to be fitted by anyone. You do not need any special licence or degree.
Q: Why is your Performance Chip so much cheaper than other well known brands?
A: Many reasons actually. One of the reasons is you are buying direct from the manufacturer. The product is not going through importers, distributors and resellers, making everyone a little money along the way before ending up on your vehicle. Even if the chip is purchased and installed from a mechanic, they are buying directly from us the manufacturer. The other reason … we’re not greedy.
We believe in providing a GREAT product at a FAIR price.
Q: Your Performance Chips give superior performance gains over other chips or modules, why?
A: Simply because our chips are tuned on Australian complied vehicles using Australian fuels and therefore we are able to tune the chips for higher performance. When the other brands develop tunes based on their countries vehicles they must de-tune their power maps so that they don’t run into problems with vehicles they have not tested … or even seen! Our power maps are developed and dyno tested right here in Australia by local experts. Furthermore, since our software allows for small changes we can develop and or refine new tunes to suit any individual anomalies such as lazy EGR valves or overly sensitive fuel pressure sensor and MAP sensors. Where other chips may falter and bring up engine codes, we can tweak a tune to suit YOUR particular needs, email it to you and you can download it to your Chip It ECU and be off and running within an hour of us first receiving your help request. No other module on the market today gives you (or us) this level or flexibility. And for the grand finale we are able, with our “Co-Pilot” program, to connect to YOUR laptop whilst you are on the road test and tune the Chip in real time!
Q: Another well known Chip manufacturer says that half price Chips only do half the job. Is this true?
A: They would want you to think that. The truth is some do only use a variable resister to vary a particular signal. THIS IS NOT TRUE OF THE CHIP IT MODULE. Our chips are not potted and any customer is free to open the casing and see what our boards contain. These boards are powerful signal and frequency modifiers. We utilise 32K processors to accurately control the board and the signals we send back to the OEM ECU. Don’t be fooled. Our Module is more than likely even better it the way it is made and the way signals are processed and we definitely have more features than any other Module. As mentioned, providing a great product at a fair price is good for everyone!
Q: Is there another reason why the Chip It Module is better value for money than other chips or modules?
A: Yes. The Chip It Module has another in-built emulator which controls the MAP sensor signal. This extra feature of ours allows the engine to run more turbo pressure. This feature alone allows the engine to produce more power and comes free with every System. Purchased separately, this piece of kit would be worth $300 – $500.
Q: Does your Module adjust Injection Timing?
A: Yes. This is controlled by increasing fuel volume and flow at the injectors. i.e. We make the peak flow rate of the fuel delivery occur sooner than what is normal which can be stated as follows. Where standard delivery will have the peak flow at say 60% of the injector opening time, we can bring it forward to say 50%. The factory computer will adjust the timing for say 5 degrees earlier or later because it is told extra power is needed, BUT, the module does not change the start point or the end point of the fuel timing delivery, and here’s the kicker … neither do the high priced Chips on the market. Other Chip manufacturers “tell” you they vary the Fuel MAP timing (advance the delivery point) however the truth is they cannot. No Module which plugs into the Fuel Rail will control the advancement of injection timing! This is another “con” by some manufacturers to make it look like their Chips are better. Let’s be honest about things. If you want to change injection timing you need an after-market Engine ECU or a re-flash of the original timing MAP inside the factory ECU. See point above on reflashing your ECU.
Q: How do you know how the high priced chips work?
A: We took a peak!
Q: What is an ECU re-flash and why is this not a good power-up solution?
A: An ECU re-flash is a method of uploading a non standard performance tune to overwrite your factory ECU map. In our opinion, this power-up procedure has two inherit problems. Firstly, the re-flash is permanent and can only be removed via propriety software which is nearly always only available from the place that first uploaded the map … this will cost you extra time and money. If you ever need to have your ECU checked by the vehicle manufacture or dealer, they are able “see” the non standard program and cancel any engine or drive-train warranty you may have. This will leave you up the proverbial creek! With a Chip It Module simply unplug the unit and the vehicle is back to standard spec. Secondly, the cost of a re-flash is much greater. For these two reasons we feel you are much better off with a module of any brand.
Q: Will I feel an increase in power immediately?
A: Yes. There is no running in period or anything like that. Just start the engine and have fun.
Q: Will the Performance Chip be expensive to run?
A: No. The difference in fuel costs is marginal unless you are using the power ALL THE TIME. In fact, vehicles with manual transmissions often experience better returns because the extra power allows the driver to remain in the higher gears for much longer. This negates the necessity to down shift and revving the engine harder. We welcome customer feedback on their “own” experiences of fuel savings.
Q: I have a 2006 GLS 3.2L Turbo Diesel Mitsubishi Triton which actually rattles at 2000rpm in 5th gear. Mitsubishi (MMA) say that they have re-mapped their ECU to stop this, but it hasn’t. Will your Performance Chip stop it from doing this?
A: We haven’t had any of these issues with our Chips causing pinging etc. We feel the extra power and fuel delivery smoothes out engine running considerably.
Q: How long is the Chip It warranty?
A: A full 2 years on the parts in general and 5 years on the Chip itself. We also have a 48 hours parts replacement policy.
Q: I have heard that vehicles with Diesel Particulate Filters may be problematic without a Chip installed. What really can be expected?
A: We have written a detailed article regarding Diesel Particulate Filters. You can find the article at the bottom of this FAQ page.
Q: If I add a larger exhaust or other mod, what will a custom tune cost and how is this made available to me?
A: We have a fantastic hands-on approach which allows us the custom tune to specific needs and then email that tune to you for download to your Chip It ECU. We also have the opportunity to access your Laptop (with your permission) through our “Remote Desktop Assistance “Co-Pilot” program and custom tune the Chip It Module whilst you drive the vehicle. To allow us to log in and custom tune your Module we charge $110 per hour. Price includes GST.
Q: Will I be able to wear out my tyres faster with a Chit It Module than any other Module?
A: Yes!
Q: Do you offer a money back guarantee?
A: Yes. A 30 day guarantee gives piece of mind in anyone’s language.
