ey all the Toyota-holics.
I recently fitted a Performance Chip to my 3.0 d4d Hilux bakkie, primarily for more power when towing.
During my first towing trip, the bakkie went into Limp Mode 3 times, while driving in 3rd gear up a long steep hill. (Vehicle was "labouring". My large offroad trailer weighs around 1ton).
The supplier says it is NOT the chip (that connects directly to the Injectors) but it could be the Turbo which has carbon build up and causes the bakkie to go into Limp Mode under strain. .
Huh?
Anybody have an opinion? ?

Re: Performance chip
Hallo Riaan ek het my v6 onlangs laat chip by Dynotech in Brackenfell. Hulle is uiters profesioneel en gebruik goeie produkte. Ek kan nie jou probleem oplos nie maar hulle sal jou beslis goeie raad kan gee.

Dankie Tenk.
Ek sleep weer gedurende die skool vakansie, sal kyk of dit weer gebeur.
Geniet jou 4.0 v6 4x4, ek het die Prado 4.0 v6 4x4 auto gehad - Awesome! !

my raaiskoot - die chip overfuel, dus skiet die EGT die hoogte in, die Hilux computer tel dit op en gaan in limp mode tot die temperatuur weer gedaal het ....
dis een ding om "ekstra krag" te kry vir verbysteek of n bult, maar as jy heeltyd ekstra krag soek .... uhm ja .... dit kan n duur oefening raak ....

Re: Performance chip
Kom ek raai, dis 'n chip wat jy sommer self inplug??
Jammer ou maat, jy het jou geld gemors EN vat 'n groot risiko met jou enjin se gesondheid.
Die regte pad om te loop is 'n chip wat op 'n dyno vir JOU kar ingestel word. Dan word alles gemeet en wat jy weet(gemeet), kan jy bestuur!
Die logika ontgaan my. Jy spandeer R3/4/500 000 op 'n voertuig maar wil R1000 spaar op 'n chip? Wat kos dit om 'n D4D enjin te vervang? R80/100k?
Each to his own....maar ai!

A 4x4 is merely a machine that enables you to get stuck further away from civilization.

sadly not everybody understands enough of this topic when they first spend money
FORTUNATELY the bakkie went into limp mode .... some others just keeps on going until catastrophic engine failure ....
bietjie skoolgeld, (hopelik) geen skade

Re: Performance chip
Is your diesel filter clean?
BTW: I'm also not a fan of these plug and play chips and prefer the Unichip that can control boost and fueling over the entire rev range ;)

Re: Performance chip
Thought the 3l tow good enough. Well I towed a 3 ton trailer with it and never though I need more power. Yes I chipped a 2.5 but who would not!
Yes If you need to chip get something worth while. Like the Dastek Unichip.
