Benlux, thanks mate for the reply's. what car did you do it to?
i have the facelift 2014 GXL prado - has yet to expire the 3year warranty, nervous about doing it tbh.
for the price of $1295 its cheaper than the steinbauer

Well dam, sign me up.
Symo - care to explain for a simpleton like myself. i assume your alluding to the fact that chips 'trick' the ecu? whereas a re-map re-programs.
Benlux - may i ask who you used around town ?

also rough price? i would assume its around the $1500

Correct. One just alters feedback values from the engine causing the ECU to overcompensate somewhat supposedly improving power.

But with any turbo charged engine if you don't increase boost, you're not getting any more power or torque. Not enough to right home about.

Hi Money. Mine was done by Bayside Performance Services at Cleveland. Give James a call on 07 3488 2911 and he may have someone who can assist you closer to home. I was very happy with their service and as mentioned they came recommended to me initially. Howso

PRICE ???

Was at farmfest today and talking to a place they are saying 20% extra from standard is the safest. I still can't see why it cost 1200 for a simple ecu reprogram its plug in a laptop load a new file ( changing timing/boost/fuel pressure and modulation).
And maybe a dyno run before and after if they have the facility.

Just had my car done by ECU West
i have a 3inch exhaust already on my prado 2014.
Cost was $1200
Result, was it snap your neck off, no. however it has allowed me to have a much more responsive car in the early stages. personally i have found the prado to be 'laggy' at take off, this is gone. i do have more power through out the range.
The wife noticed it instantly upon driving it.
I go on a trip to Ningaloo in 3 weeks towing a Hawk, and playing in the dunes. I guess that will be the true test. at this stage I am unsure if it was worth the money.
like everyone has said, its an easy $1200

Flash tune done Matt from just autos Nambour Sunshine Coast qld
Awesome guys and to drive now
Dyno is just a tune no other mods
Standard exhaust I did have snorkel and slightly larger than standard tyres this was all done when I bought the car 1 1/2 years ago

Hey dirkw those figures are a little hard to see what was the before and after figures for torque? How does it perform now is it a big difference and do you think it was worth it?
cheers Ryan

Looks like. 30% increase, 300 to 400 at the wheels.

So approx 533nm peak but not everywhere, the area under the graph is what determines overall increase and I can't work that out on my phone.

Hey guys here's a better pic
Don't forget stock exhaust and 265 70 17
Also dyno doesn't read properly bellow around 2800rpm
This is where the real gains are felt

What? 2800rpm? I think that is a typo since the engine hits peak power at that point so what your saying the entire power band is not read properly? I don't think so.
