Re: Toyota Motorsport - Diesel Performace Kit
Well, here are the Dyno scans for you guys.
This is a comparison of the torque and power settings between the standard Hilux settings and the minimum Chip settings:
Green is the Standard Hilux, no exhaust.
And here is the comparison between the minimum and maximum settings on the chip:
I was surprised how little difference there is between the minimum and maximum settings shown in the second graph because you really feel the extra zip in the top power setting when you put the slipper in. I suspect this is because the dyno test was done over progressive acceleration and ignores the time element and you don't see the difference GHG and I felt on the top setting. I think it must stab the rat faster when you put your foot down on the higher power settings. Now I have seen this, I hvae set the chip to the minimum setting and will leave it that way for a tank of fuel and see how it goes.
I filled up this morning and noticed a slight improvement in fuel economy which was really surprising given I have been playing with the chip for the last week.
I asked the guy about exhausts and he thought this would be a good idea at this level of boost to let the heat escape more quickly. Typically, he said an exhaust adds about 7% to performance.
I'll let you guys work out the percentage increases as I am out of time, but remember this is on 32" MT tyres (265/75 R16). The building was nearly shaking from the howl of the Crushers standing beside the car. I had no idea they were so loud outside the car..
