  • Prado 1kzte chip

    Hi everyone this is the first time I have put a post up. I have a Prado 120 2004 with a 1 KZ TE engine, I have just bought my self a cub camper and notice how slow the prado went. I had been researching chips and exhaust for a while and finally made the jump. I had Windsor exhaust fit a full 3 inch exhaust and also dump pipe fitted a egt nut also, I had a slightly offset muffler fitted to make it also quitter not a straight through, The exhaust made a different, it revved easier and also over 3000rpm the egt were lower and also had less delay for the turbo to boost up and was nicer to drive. I then fitted a RAPID chip to the vehicle, all I can say what a differents that made, But the egt went straight through the roof so I took it back and got them to re tune it on the dyno for rebility. ( I cant afford a 200 series yet ). The dyno report is as follows, before and after the difference was 13% although that does not sound much ( I was questioning myself if I had just wasted my money ) but in real driving with the camper on and also with the no towing it made the vehicle much nicer to drive. I towed up to fraser island in the September school holidays and the car went well but, I was having to drive of the egt because the car would do the speed but egt were getting to high, also when the tempeture was over 25 deg the car seem to not go as well, when I got home I decided to fit a davis craig 9 inch fan to the intercooler and that was icing on the cake the car does the speed limited easily while towing the egt does not get any where near as hot and as quickly and I am very happy with the car now.
    cost was about $950 fitted for the exhaust
    $1100 for the chip fitted
    $90 for the fan. I fitted that
    All this has transformed the car and made it so much nicer to drive.
    I have also notice I am getting better fuel economy on country trip that is with tow a box trailer with motor bikes.
    All in all I am very happy with what I have done.
    I also forgot I fitted a torqut pedal chip and I am using that when ever I am towing, that has save the clutch due to the delay that you get from the accel pedal.

    I hope this has help people with any question they might have about chips.

    13% sounds about right, Safari claimed about 10% with DTRONIC, exhaust and snorkel. If you haven't got a snork you might get a bit more EGT headroom with one, gotta get the air through with least resistance! I have never run mine over a dyno, but the last piece (replaced muffler with straight through) knocked at least 70-100C off EGTs towing the 2T van. Be very sure that your cooling system is up to snuff!
    cheers

          when I am not towing it will not go over 550 not matter how hard I try, but I went up mount ousley in Wollongong towing the camper and it did get to 650, I was slightly pushing the car because I wanted to see worse case and back off but it took a while to get to that tempeturer and as soon as I back of with in 5-10 seconds it when down to 500-550. that is the reason why I said egt was the best think I bought and I still drive of the egt but having the fan on has help it a lot. I forgot the say it was also a 30deg day when I was towing, the car was full with the family. hope this has help.
