Electronic Chips

Gooday, I haven't fitted one to a Hi Lux but recently fitted one to my Prado Turbo Diesel Auto, in ordinary driving I noticed little diff. but in towing my off road van ( nearly 2plus tonne it worked really well, pulled well and fuel was in the 15eens, hope this help some

If you get onto newhilux.net it has stacks of stuff about chips and heaps of other stuff.
I don't have a chip in mine.

Havent done a Hilux but have just done my 2005 Cruiser TD
Also put a 3" mandrel bent exhaust which gave more power increase than the chip
Details below
Red = standard
Blue = with Safari Dtronic chip
Green= With both
Goes better, turbo comes in earlier, heaps more grunt and no black smoke when putting boot into it.
Remember the figures are power at the wheels not the flywheel as quoted in mfrs specs

explorer,

Fitted my 06 Hi Lux witha DP chip and sports exhaust.Makes a hell of adifference.Developed about 400 nm of torque compared to 343nm standard.Have been towing over two tonne with relative ease.Cost of chip is around $1200.Very easy to fit.Suggest that maybe the exhaust system should go hand in hand with the chip.
NOTE I beleive the Hi Lux October 06 onward has a different chip to the earlier model. Fuel economy remained about the same.

Cheers

There is a group buy going do soon on hilux.net for genuine toyota round 430nm and 145 kw, check it out

Have a DP chip in our 2005 Hilux and would not be with out it, better fuel economy, driveability and more usable power.

We tow a 1400Kg Trak Shak and the Hilux weighs 2700Kg, we get about 13. Lts per 100k sitting on 110Kph.

TDC Technologies The CRPlus is proving a big hit on the triton forum - apparently available on ebay too

Thanks all my Hi Lux is the latter one with the increased power towing a 2 tonne off road van fuel not to bad towing 13.5l/100.
but a lot of gear changing on hills. I currently own a manual, but due to injury I need to buy auto when I can afford it .Is it the same chip for auto & manual.
