to chip or not to chip
I am not satisfied with the performance (both fuel consumption and responsiveness) of my 2013 3.0D4D. My previous one, a 2009 model was much better.
Anybody that has some experience with fitting a chip - it this worth it and what chip should I go for?

Re: to chip or not to chip
Hoppy will say go for it.. he cant wait to get his grubby little paws on my D4D... I am resisting profusely..
Seriously, we have a friend who had a chip fitted, and he is very happy with the results. It doens turn it into a racer, but much better accelleration for overtaking and an improvement in fuel consumption as well. I dont know exactly what chip, but Hoppy will be able to tell you.

Re: to chip or not to chip
My BIL recently chipped his 2012 Fortuner auto, he is very happy witht he chip in it. The one thing he was really impressed with was that whilst driving 120km/h and wanting to overtake, the auto did not kick back to 3rd, but just accelerated from 4th.
WIll try and find out what make.

Re: to chip or not to chip
Wat my betref is daar net een ou wat die chip verstaan en dit is Kosie Swannepoel! Sy Nr is 021 949 4566. Het my 2.5D4D na hom toe gevat en die resultate is uitstekend.

Re: to chip or not to chip
My 2007 D4D is deur Swanepoel Racing Developments gedoen. Hy rook nie onder heavy acceleration nie en ek kry op die oop pad by die 13km/l en in die stad 11km/l met al my ekstra gewig op.boerbakkie wrote:Wat my betref is daar net een ou wat die chip verstaan en dit is Kosie Swannepoel!

Die dyno se 147 kw / 425 Nm, maar die manne sê die 2007 motor het oorspronklik bietjie meer uit gesit :shifty:
Ek is baie happy met myne en ken hele paar boere wat van nuut af al chips in hulle D4D's ry sonder enige kopsere.

Re: to chip or not to chip
My 2 cents
Ek ook chip by Kosie laat doen dit maak moviese groot verskil in trek krag. Het die naweek my chip uit geplug om net weer die toets of dit verskil maak. En jy kan die veskil voel. Sterker trek krag met chip.
Fuel wise? Nie verskil wat mens kan notice nie. Ek kry 8.5-9.00 km/l op die ooppad. Moet ook bevoeg het suspension lift en bumper, so weet nie hoe verskil dit maak nie

Re: to chip or not to chip
my 3.0 d4d was chipped about 5 years ago (before i got it)
on sunday it would not start. Just swings. but a healthy swing.
turns out the issue is the uniQ chip. we removed it and now the van is fine.
however till now it has been excellent. good consumption (better than stock), excellent power and no issues
i get 10 to 11km / L

Re: to chip or not to chip
Slightly OT,
On my Kz I had the intercooler and chip done in November 2005. Today, almost 300 000km later, it is still puling like a steam train on meths!
In my case, fuel consumption has stayed the same, keeping in mind I do 90% city driving.

Re: to chip or not to chip
My "new" V6 came with a SAC's Unichip. Apparantly the vehicle was only chipped without doing the branches or decat.
Looking at the towbars fitted front and rear, it was probably done to make towing a boat easier. The Dyno papers was with the vehicle's documents.
What do you make of the results?

Re: to chip or not to chip
You vehicle peak power output is 187 Kw @ 5000 rpm and the torque curve is peaking around 2000 to 3000 rpm and dropping of from 4000 rpm as you gain the numbers on the powerKykdaar wrote:My "new" V6 came with a SAC's Unichip.

kw = speed/accelleration, Torque (Nm) = pulling power

Dankie vir al die terugvoering - dit lyk my dit is dan die roete om te gaan. Wat kan mens verwag om te betaal?
