Performance Chip

I have a new 150 Kakadu, Petrol Automatic and I was wondering if anyone knows of a performance chip for them yet?

Re: Performance Chip

I posted a similar enquiry a few months ago, but no replies. Telephoned a few places in Sydney, no-one knows of a performance chip for the petrol. One enquiry with a northern Sydney mechanic suggested a re-tuned exhaust system will achieve a bit of extra H.P., however, he thinks the engine has plenty of power.

Re: Performance Chip

You could go with extractors and exhust upgrade to give you a bit more. Try Uni Chip as they did a petrol for the 120.

Spoke to my son's mate (Toyota mechanic), who said to be careful that the oxygen sensor in the catalytic converter is not removed when an exhaust system is fitted, also best not to fit extractors as the engine will need retuning, and Toyota will probably not like to re-tune your engine if it is under the warranty period, so you will need to take it to another mechanic.

Might be cheaper to test drive a diesel once a month. Yours will feel like a rocket ship afterwards 8)

Re: Performance Chip

Thanks again guys. Taipan told me they'll have an exhaust set up for the Petrol at some stage, perhaps 6 months or so. When it does come out I'll check the oxygen sensor and cataltic converter aren't removed.

I here what you saying tassie tiger. Shame they don't put the V8 diesel in the Prado. My mate has the V8 200 series and it's a cracker of an engine.
