Thread: anyone installed a digi z wire in chip? (TD5)

You need to get a copy of the electrical library and wiring diagram pdfs both which come on the RAVE cd.

I thought AMV told you the vehicle was already chipped? Are you 100% sure it's not?

100% sure.. I got an email back from diesel power the makers of digi z units. They i have the wrong unit for a td5.. So ill be getting my money back.. Now i need to find another power up chip that comes with a td5 install kit.

SUCKS getting the wrong parts and info from sales ppl.

With LR stuff it seems to pay to deal with people who know LR's.

You'd be better off with a rechipped ECU:

Engine control units (ECU's) for Defender / Discovery - Upgrades - Triumph Rover Spares South Australia

The other route is to track down a reflashable ECU to suit the car, then getting a remap. It ends up more expensive but is also far more flexible in that purchasing another the remap is cheaper//easier than buying a second chipped ECU.

Intercept boxes aren't a good solution...

Go with Offtracks advice...

Thanks guys. Phone calls ahead for me.. I think flashable is the way to go..

Ya 25% more power. I got a davis chiped ecu fron ritter.. But now my turbo bearnings scwill when ever i drive harder.. Hopeful i can get a serice kit for it.

Was looking for random stuff on ebay. And there is a full rebuild kit minus compressor and exhaust wheels. Was only $88 delivered (well to me atleast).

Hoping this is my issue. As I only get the squeal from 2000rpm and is gone by around 2700rpm. And then dosent come back until revs go to idle.

Qn for the experts. Does the turbine shaft need to be re-balanced when rebuilding the turbo?
