V8 Bruce Davis chip upgrade

Ok guys just gone threw my first tank of fuel, now it's just clicked over 534km and the fuel lights come on so that means it usually has 15L left, so it's slightly less then normal which was for the last 3 tanks before the upgrade was 587km when the light came on.... But factoring in my right foots been a little heavier then normal due to "testing out" the new power curve and the fact I did a little off roading at ourimba last weekend, I think that's a pretty acceptable figure and I think I can work on it a little bit....

That's awesome.You have to be happy with those figures.

I grew up on a V8 D2, I'm intimately familiar with them ;)
If I was able to drive one legally, maybe I'd have one.
Then again maybe not.
A V8 county though? Tempting... :twisted:

I reckon the only one on this forum that thinks you will NOT get a V8 disco when you are old enough is YOU!:)

My 4.6 D2 with just on 50K on the motor averages 17L/100 if driven sedately otherwise 20L/100. Between Wednesday night and Monday night running around with the Show, I went through three tanks of premium :eek: :(:dbcry:

I watch these threads with interest. I would really like to tweak it but seems like somewhat of a black art

Based on a 95L nominal tank capacity, that gives you 534 km for approx 80L = 15L/100km vs 13.6 l/100km previously... quite reasonable! Be interested to see figures for a "controlled" trial!:D

Well a bit of one will be tomorrow, I'm towing a car trailer tomorrow from blacktown to moruya empty, then loading up the 82 single cab hilux with a 253 v8 tub tray, then heading home.... So will be interesting comparison from the last time I towed the car out Stuart town before the chip and oxygen sensors were hooked up, oh plus me the missus and 2 mates lol I'm hoping about 17L/100 give or take.....
