Chipping

JCH · 22-01-2013, 15:37

As a new member there are various questions that I have.
My question at the moment is Chip or no Chip.
In my last vehicle a Discovery it made a significant difference in Torque and fuel consumption. I am not worried about the torque as I am happy with the power, but has anyone experience of any consumption improvement.
I have a 2003 Terrano. Manual, deisel.

Tunit box is what u want

Fez_uk · 22-01-2013, 17:38

stinka · 22-01-2013, 17:49

2.7 or 3.0 ?

I have a PSi powerbox and have to say it gives a noticeable difference and makes it even better to drive.

yes its plug and play, simply unplug a connector and reconnect the powerbox...job done..

zippy656 · 22-01-2013, 22:03

Nice, just need to try one now

Explore this link on the Speedchip also. It takes a feed from the airflow meter so is intelligent enough not to overfuel the engine at idle like the cheaper Speedbox I tried first

You fitted this speed chip then mate ?

Does it raise boost ?

You'll only raise boost by altering the waste gate actuator

Ah I see, or a decent bleed valve.

I assume if the above chip works with the maf readings then it will increase fuel inline with increase in boost (as the maf senses boost pressure on td27)

Nah, I think the maf sensor one tells the ECU the air is cold and so over fuels to match
