BAS remap

Hi Sue

I found Pelican Pete's at Ashmore are pretty good

Seriously though, I got one from
tunerchip@gmail.com
Diesel Express Home Padge Index

Landed 2 of them for about $270 AUD. So far I have found it really good for towing and I don't use 1st much anymore. I did look at taking the car to
Davis Performance Landys
233 Annangrove Road, Annangrove NSW 2156
Ph (02) 9679 1978
Fax (02) 9679 1993
I spoke to him a while ago and he quoted me about $1k to remove my ecu, remap it and refit it. Also offered me a loaner whilst I was in Sydney but as yet I haven't got down there.
Regards Ian

Do not Chip...

Remap only... BAS being the better choice

I would be getting some EGT readings asap

If you've got the $$$,

Fit an upgrade intercooler (AliSport) first, will give you most from your remap and help keep those EGT's down.

100% for a BAS remap, I've had mine for 4 years and 50,000k's without issue.

Consider "Nuggets" replacement ducting from air box to guard, as the factory ducting leaks and is distorted and not consitant in its diameter.

Finally fit a DeCat pipe and centre muffler removal pipe.

That will give you about 450nm and 120kw with the confidence that being from BAS it's been tested and the improvements to performance is not risking the health of your motor.

Why not?

and thank you everyone.. we have at this stage been considering superchip bluefin.. which I believe remaps.


I'm a little confused though.. what is EGT??

Thanks..

Remapping loads the entire engine fueling (and in quality versions - Timing) tables with new versions.

Mapping written by experienced tuners can get the best out of an engine without risk.

Chips on the other hand are intercept boxes - and just modify a signal sent by the ECU into another signal... Often they just dump more fuel in without adjusting other parameters.

You will often see them advertised as "completely safe" and "won't void warranty" which is far from accurate...

EGT is Exhaust Gas Temp, a product of combustion. Just fueling up a diesel will make more power, without more air it will also smoke more. And as a byproduct more heat.

Excessive fuel will raise combustion temps to dangerous levels and can melt engines....

No engine with a modified fuel table should be without an EGT gauge.
