Thread: Td5 power up

Yea his power up is impressive but a few people have had problems with his mods. I like mine

All prices approximation only....

Exhaust $2000
Chip $900
FIlter Mod $150
Intercooler $1400

These are approximate prices from Bruce.

Theres more to it than that though.... Power is nice Driveability is better.

There is a list member here who can feed more info

yes i was wondering about reliabilty thats a big jump in power and torque from standard.

if anyone wants to get their Td5 chipped.......ive had mine done......
and its fantastic........pm me and i will tell where to get it done and cheaper.....

my 130 TD5 has 170,000k's on the clock now with no problems yet
been chipped since the car was 2 weeks young

I have a Davis chip in mine, i also had the air filter box done too and the big chip in too, but had them put the standard air filter box back and drop to the medium chip.
The problem with the airbox mod is you loose down low torque and for me that's a big issue because i need the down low torque for towing, aspecially when taking off as i have a manual, it shouldn't be an issue with an auto.

Also the big chip makes it smoke ALOT, if you get the intercooler it is supposed to stop the excessive smoke.

Exhaust $2000

the bloke that dose his exhausts, in QLD wanted $1800 just for my 90!!!
so add another $1000 for the disco

So what's the logic behind the less restrictive airbox reducing low-down torque? I assume that this has been tested seperately to the different chip. I thought better airflow might be beneficial for reducing spool-up time too and have the modification on my to-do list for this reason. But I wouldn't like to regress from my current setup, also a manual and doing lots of lower-rev chugging about using low-range throttle mapping in high range. I'm intrigued!
