Does your diesel blow smoke?

[Stu]

That sounds pretty good Buzzy mine runs at 12l/100 on the computer but have never worked out how accurat it is.
Mine should be here tomorrow!

[fireball]

any pics on how to install this thing ? thx

[Buzzy]

You dont need pics to install its that easy, Just look at your fuel rail (On the battery side of the engine and there is a plug at the back of it near the firewall. Pull that out and plug the chip in its place. 10L/100 should be pretty accurate but my trip computer told me 9.2L/100 all day. Would like to have got that.

When are we going to race Buzz? Shame I have the 33s you'll make it look like I'm reversing.

Tyre wear is going to go up mine light up enough now!

Buzzy how was the driveability and power delivery, what setting did you have the chip set on, and was that 276km from the odometer, or adjusted for tyre-size?

Cheers

F&%$ me subi I didnt even know I was going up the long drag there near the moony moony bridge on the way down the F3 freeway. Sat on 90 in fifth at the bottom, squeesed the loud peddal, was doing 130 near the top and thought I better take my foot off before I get another fine. Had my old man following in his Pajero. Told me across the UHF that at times I was getting a little puff of smoke out the back. Problem is that it was very inconsistent. Would do it at odd times not necessarily under load. Think I might have a look at putting a desent air filter in, may solve the problem. Also my filter was very dirty so I found out later. For all I know it may have been doing this before the chip went in.

It is set on the standard setting which I assume is 60%, havent changed it.

Driveability is good. It pulls away eaiser from lower RPM, dont have to give it as much to get the same effect.

The 276km was from the odometer

Sounds good! thanks mate

but I'll bet I can't have one delivered before I tow the boat up to South West Rocks next week :roll:

[Stu]

just put the unit in and played around with the settings, tried 12 noticed a little bit of difference, tried 16 was smiling turned it up to 24... when it hit boost it was like a rocket compared to not having the unit on! It's by no means a monster but for a 4cyl diesel it goes well. It will be interesting to see how it goes on some hills
I also tried the F setting which had even better power but kept dying just below 4000revs

[scubapro]

Have I started a bad thing here

[Nick08]

you have scuba cause i really want one now

[subi_man]

I just hope nothing bad happens to anyone's engine - what does the manufacturer say about using the maximum setting?

[Buzzy]

Just inquired about a K&N filter. No such item still :x
I would like to put a better one in that OEM. Any idea's?

[scubapro]

How about Unifilter? I used to have one on my Navara & X-Trail. Worked fine.

[subi_man]

Pretty sure they aren't available yet, unless they mde one recently - I badly need an aftermarket alternative too

[Nick08]

Hey the chip is $239.99 plus 25 for postage does anyone now how much in australian that is cause i really want to order one today

[scubapro]

nick at todays exchange rate the total cost would be $287-57.

Not bad compared to products available here.

[Buzzy]

I was told last week that the Uni filter would be a couple of weeks away. Hope their not manufactured by safari!

[Nick08]

is this the same as everyone else's cause i heard digital mentioned and someone said they paid 5 hundred so is there 2 models?

[rick]

yes,i bought the digital one nick,not sure opf the diiference though

[Nick08]

does anyone have the cheap one and is it alright. whats the difference between them

[scubapro]

nick go to this site http://www.tdc-technologies.com/ & ask Dave Chandler anything you want to know. He will tell you everything. great Guy & Great company to deal with, I wish I had the OZ rights to sell these chips.

[ML-VR08]

Can anyone tell me if they have had any problems with their chip?

Also whats the difference between the digital chip and the normal one?

[scubapro]

ml i have had no problem so far but I am running it on th factory setting.

I have no idea what the difference is all I can suggest is that you contact Dave Chandler at TDC & ask him questions.

[ML-VR08]

email him then, how reliable are these chips scuba?? I dont want any unexplainable problems lol...

But im very keen to get one!

[ML-VR08]

Scuba,

I think the only difference is the output power...seems to have alittle more hp and torque!

Thats about it, but im sure with the stock unit, and a decent filter should be able to acheive the same amount of power as the CRplus
