Chip My Diesel, any experiences?

[winaje]

Hi all, was talking to a guy today who has one of these modules in his 2.7 D4.
Land Rover Discovery TDV6 Diesel Chip Tuning by ChipMyDiesel - Performance, Power & Economy (http://www.chipmydiesel.com.au/products/diesel-chip-tuning/land-rover/discovery-tdv6/752.html)

Their explanatory PDF http://www.chipmydiesel.com/pdf/tech.pdf

Has anyone got any experience with them? Are they just a crappy signal modifier that tricks the ECU? Any inherent dangers etc?

He seems happy, had it for about 3 months. Reasonably inexpensive too.

Any plug in box is a signal modifier...

Don't mean to be a smart a#*se but I thought the main difference between petrol and diesel was the fuel type. ;)

A petrol to air mix of 1:1 is not right either!

Will - you're much better off getting a BAS or Bluefin remap interface. BAS is more expensive - especially when Superchips have a 25% off sale (usually at the end of the year, like when I got mine). The usual price at Australian distributor is less than $700 for Bluefin, and a bit more for BAS.

For cars out of warranty, it is not such a big deal to get the interface - as it is less likely that your factory map will get updated and overwritten by dealers.

Unless you're towing, I don't see the point personally.

Maybe:cool:

I only chipped the D2 because it struggled to tow our camper once we added the larger tyres, and all the other stuff, we also had the daughter and 2 dogs as well and all their gear:eek:

We have room and power to burn now:burnrubber:

Every thing is a compromise, I am happy to stick with he the LR engineers compromise.
Why risk increasing combustion temperatures etc and resultant lower engine life for a bit of extra power?
