Thread: DIESEL CHIPPING - COST v GAINS

Do search on chipping the TD5.
As you said, there a multitude of options and this one is laughable for the $ and gains being offered.

For these $ compared with other options available, I would expect gains of 60kw and fuel consumption figures 20% less. (yeah I know its a silly ask)

You will find options immediately available from Tombie, TRS, Davis, BAS & Discowhite (there are others which dont spring to mind immediately so sorry to those) for a nearly 1/4 of $.

Around $500 to $800 including shipping/ loading of map, depending on what model D2 you purchase. (this depends on the type of ECU)
All of the above folks will provide more bang for your $ than Steinbauer are offering and they are Landy nuts, so (IMO) have probably got a better clue and therefore mapping for a Landy.

You can expect around 30kw minimum from any of these above and can go all out with some of the other maps and intercooler and exhaust upgrades approaching gains of 70kw.

$16 / kw for the TD5 sure beats $97.50 / kw

cheers

I've had the Tombie remap for a while, brilliant, no where near $1800

Mines +90kw for 440 + I/C $500(I got mine 2nd hand)
And a futher 20kw for $120 with the added boost (BAS boost box)
And $90 for EGR removal
And $130 for Silicon I/C hoses

All up +110kw and over 200nm for 1280

I think that is fantastic value.

Ben...

Im still not conviced that any chipped TD5 in Australia is 200kw.

Lara who has probably the best and most modified td5 in the world, running 26psi, 2.8litres, huge turbo, tubular manifolds, and also head work is still just under 200kw (195kw-265bhp)

He also had axles made out of 300 maraging (same as F1) to cope with it prior to swapping out for Spider 9's

That would be at the wheels.

My guess would be that quoted kw with chipping would be at the fly wheel.

For the record my std turbo pulls 25psi easy

Dont think it is.... 'p-weil' is power at wheels I think and thats 166.5kw

Don't know figures on my TRS chip and intercooler upgrade but I am more than happy with the increased pwoer and torque that the $1700 bought.
