United fuel will tune it Swinny, once my 35's get at the beginning of October maybe we can take both our trucks there?

If you were to purchase a HKS, is it a *must* getting it tuned? I know it wont completely right, and gains wont be perfect. But getting a dyno here (Mildura, VIC) is pretty hard.

Melbourne or Adelaide tuners?

It needs to go on a dyno to set the air fuel ratio. JPC in Thomastown, Melbourne done mine.

Figured as much.. Need to upgrade cluth and buy a few more goodies before chip.. Need a money tree :/.

How much roughly set you back?

I agree.. i've been taking it easy so my clutch doesn't give way till I get some extra casholas coming in for a new clutch now.
It would have been about $2,000 - $2,200 all up ($1,200 for the unit alone), but I got whacked with an extra few hundred added to the quote for problem solving since they had never experience the HKS, and had to get a bit of help from JustAutos to connect it.. which now they know what they're doing I assume would be avoided. But still worth it every cent in my opinion

I know it's a pain guys that u have to get them dyno tuned but realy all chip should be checked as well, for the extra money well worth it in my books.

[hilder91]

well when u get it dyno tune u know it is a safe tune for the vehicle. not just a guessed tune that is pre uploaded on the chip it chips

[CostaRicanHilux]

Flat stretch of road, pyrometer, tuning software,
good to go !

Even better of someone would offer a couple of base files !

[JUSTAUTOS]

Can supply base maps

[CostaRicanHilux]

What is the install like ? is it plug and play connectors or splicing of wires and such ?

[hilder91]

Splice wires I am pretty sure

[JUSTAUTOS]

Yeap

[ALFY]

has anyone managed to get one of these units set up and tuned in Perth / W.A yet??

[jaybags]

Think BIGFOOTJR had somewhere sussed out, but found somewhere to do the Uni-chip (similar unit to the HKS) cheaper. Give him a shout he'll be able to give you some more info.

On another note, finally got my clutch upgraded. Got a 4terrain h/d put in, and man, what a difference it makes when you have a clutch that can handle the power. It's a little wet, but talk about tail-happy!

[SR Luxy]

Hey guys im looking into getting either HKS or uni chip both look pretty good to me just wondering anyone that has chipped there lux had to do any other mods aswell? egt/boost gauges, exhaust, clutch etc iv heard the standard clutches wont handle the extra torque from either of these chips cheers

[jaybags]

You'll need to get a boost gauge, EGT gauge and clutch as a minimum. Don't need an exhaust, but the exhaust will help with your EGT's. The standard clutch will most likely slip from 2nd through to 5th with one of these units.

i'll post pictures up of the gauges I have, can pm you where to get 'em, and the probe / map sensors to go with them.

[SR Luxy]

thanks jaybags ill have to start looking for a decent hd clutch now

[jaybags]

Have a look at 4terrain, I have that and love it. Feels more responsive.
Others on here prefer NPC. Happy hunting!

[holmes182]

I hear all you guys talking about needing to upgrade your clutch with the HKS. Can you run this with an auto transmission? Any problems?
