Hi P&G

I had an 06 model patrol which I did put a DP chip on it cost me $1600 fitted, contact DP chip at Berrima NSW they will tell you where you can get one fitted
Phone number 02 48771022
I did get extra power but did not find I was getting any better fuel economy though?

On fuel economy I have heard that the patrols are heavy on fuel? I have just bought a 2011 model patrol and am getting good fuel consumption towing our 21ft Sterling the best we have had so far is 14.88lts per 100klm and the worst was 17lts per 100klm up hill. Maybe I am lucky and will keep an eye on my fuel consumption on this trip.

Hope this helps you

Hi P & G

I have an 2008 common rail Patrol Auto and fitted a Steinbauer power module some three years ago. I tow both 18 foot Regent and a camper trailer and have found that the fuel consumption goes from 17 lts per 100 km under normal driving which didn't change from from stock standard IE: previous to fitting power module to 20 lts per 100 km towing either unit. The only gain is in power and torque down low so don't expect to gain a better fuel consumption as some will quote.

We had a 2008 3ltr auto crd Patrol which we purchased brand new.

It towed our 2500kg van with a lot of effort and fuel usage, from 22 ltrs to 26 ltrs per 100ks.

We also had a fuel contamination drama which effected the Injector Pump and the CRD system.

Ended up getting a 2010 4.8 litre petrol Auto Patrol and the fuel usage is better than the 3ltr diesel.

We have also updated our van which now has an 3000kg ATM.

The new patrol can tow up to 3500kg.

As far as getting petrol goes it is available most places outback.

I usually check before we start off some where we haven't been before.

PS. Is yours Auto or Manual??.

Cheers

I’ve had one on a 3 litre GU and can advise that it provided a definite increase in power. Economy also improved in general useage. Not in towing. The cost is in increased engine temperatures so you should really consider fitting a 3” exhaust system as well. These chips work by dumping extra fuel into the motor. There’s nothing fancy about it. This will increase internal engine temperatures and pressures all round so the 3” exhaust and dump pipe will aid exhaust gas extraction and reduce pressures and heat. An Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT) guage fitted as close to the outlet manifold as possible is a must if you decide to go with a chip. It will provide you the opportunity to monitor engine temperatures with a greater degree of accuracy than any other form of gauge and may just save you slagging out the No.4 piston.

I would solidly recommend getting a proper integrated chip that a diesel tuning expert will set to suit your needs. Time spent tuning on the Dyno means that you can operate with a lot more peace of mind.

Have a read of the “performance Mods” section at the bottom of my blog. Different vehicle but the principles are the same.

G'day p&g
from my research i reckon unichip is the best chip around at the moment,it has excellent engine safety features,google unichip and have a read.
