Good to see another owner of the mighty 2.8 on here. I'm in a similar boat to you at the moment, weighing up the options in the performance area. There is a few different chipps etc out there, and the LPG fumigation option. I'll be interested to see what you find out. I may be going the LPG at Xmas....maybe.

The little 2.8 goes OK though (similar to you, off the mark towing etc not real good), but up here (Kimberley) there is few hills, and they eat the k's on the open road. Economy on mine not the best - about 13.5l/100km @90kph, 16l/100km @ 125kph. Cars done 135,000. May need to look at my injectors and Pump ?

Cheers Andrew

Thanks so far guys. I think that the Motsons chip will be the easiest to give the Patrol the pulling power from below 1800rpm that I'll need as I looking at getting a bigger CT than my old mans that I've borrowed in the past and I think that around 1.5-2t loaded my test it to get moving. I've seen reports on here that the chips triples torque at 1300rpm before easing out to only a 20% gain at 1800 rpm and was wondering if people who've had the mod can confirm or deny.
So far the Patrol has been more than capable at everything I've thrown at it and with 175,000 on the odo with absoloutely no probs and if travelling at around 95-100 km/ph it usually returns 11-12l with a 2" lift, foot high roofrack and BF Goodrich AT's. I couldn't be happier with it and if it not for a bigger CT I would not even bother with the chip.
Will not be going near a 3.0 hand grenade anytime soon.

Thanks for your reply Trevor. I will endevour to give Pezza a ring find out more from him.

Thanks to all who replied

Give Pezza a ring...
Sorry all, had a million things on my mind and hit "Submit" before I read what I typed.

Be nice, its a Monday after all :)

Hi Andrew and Patrolben,
As Buggalugs has mentioned I have the 2.8 with the motsons, it does still lack the low down grunt and the driveability of the 4.2 for slow off road work, I'm talking around the 800 to 1300 rpm mark while it is still off boost.
The motsons unit has definately given it more down low compared to standard, it was pretty atrocious standard, as an example I can now easily go round intesection type corners in 3rd gear and pull away comfortably from around the 12-1300 rpm, if it's a little lower it just takes a couple of seconds to get to that point and your off. Keeping in mind it does have 4.6 diff gears, so with the extra power this type of manouvre is a lot easier than with the 4.2 which has 3.9 gears.
I also have the 4.2 GU with the dump pipe and exhaust done and a tune-up, haven't had them side by side as yet ( might have to do that test soon, got a spare w/e Trev ? ) but I'm sure the 2.8 would easily stay with, if not pull slightly away from the 4.2 under normal driving conditions.
I bought it off member 'Grungle' who had his dynoed before and after and got an increase of 27% in the kw, and 30% in nm. not sure of the 1300 rpm mark but it definately has quite a bit more there as well.
I don't know how exactly it works, though I'm sure if you give Motsons' a call they would be quite happy to explain it to you, all I know is that in conjunction with the unit the boost is increased to 14.5 lb.ft. and it is far more responsive in the early part of the accelerator.
Certainly no increased oil usage and still get 8km/lt (12.5 lt/ 100 ) 50% town and 50% between 100 and 110kph.
PatrolBen, you mentioned the 'taking off' bit, I can now take off with the 2.8 nearly the same way as I do with the 4.2 ie. no accelerator, just ease the clutch out, albeit slightly ( and I do mean 'slightly' ) slower in the 2.8, and once out can accelerate smoothly away from there, no way could I do that previously.
I would highly recommend the unit for anyone with the 2.8, it makes it far, far more drivable around town and IMO the best value for money enhancement for towing, overtaking etc.
Mine also has 250000k's up and is still going well.
Hope all this helps.
