Detronic or similar chip

Brother in law has a DTronic in his and it goes well. Mine was standard and his always out performed mine both in towing ability and slightly better fuel economy. Of course if you shove the boot in it would probably go the other way as far as fuel consumption is concerned.

Hi Ross.
I fitted a Dtronic unit to my Pajero. It is easy to fit, just plugs into main unit.
It really made a difference to the performance & is great for towing.
I am heading out to Camerons Corner in July & will see how the fuel consumption goes with the camper in tow.

not sure about the nissan but did fit a d-tronic to a 100 series turbo diesal today.
i was very impressed with the diference heaps more power.
i asked the boss today why this guy bought a d-tronic and he said when he was in a cpl of weeks ago to get a spare wheel carier he borowed the bosses 100 series to drop his boat some where.when he got back he said to the boss geez what have you done to your cruiser it flies.
i fitted a d-tronic he said.
best you get me one of them things the customer said lol.
we put one in a 3ltr navara a cpl of weeks ago and same thing big diference.
so i cant see why the patrol shouldnt gain from one either.
cheers

Ross i put a dtronic on a 2001 3.0 L which was slug - what a bloody improvement bottom end so much better - took it off when i traded in th earlier patrol and put it on my newer 2004 3.0 L demo model unit - still an improvement but not as obvious as the newer truck which had a better bottom end performance than the earlier one -- on a 2002 if its a bit of a slug it will make a real difference at the bottom end much better get up and go - for me the best $ 1500 i have spent on my trucks

I cant understand why Toyota, Nissan, Mitsubishi and every other turbo deisel manufacturer do fit these things as standard. More power, more torque, better fuel consumption etc etc.

Am I missing something? Perhaps all the improvements relate to towing and reduced engine life.

Sorry to be controversial!, but I need enlightenment......

Thanks for the replies,I am getting a dp chip fitted today so will keep you posted on how it goes :)

Hi Ross,

I installled a Steinbauer into my 3.0ltr Patrol.

It goes like a rocket in comparison to original.

Main difference in torque a 1500rpm, and the turbo lag has gone.

I would highly recomend.

Thanks
