Forum Discount on CHIP-IT Chip

[jaywindy Junior Member Find all posts View Profile Close jaywindy]

Pity about that, my 1KZ is a manual, looks like i will have to get a Tunit or DP chip.

Sorry Guys. There was confusion on my part re the 1KZ. This engine still uses our standard Chip however we need to use the PWM signal that the chip is capable do producing. (Its part of the chip set up and thus will be able to be used on the common rail vehicle if you ever upgrade to it. I was confused regarding this, so again, my apologies.

At this stage only the auto 1KZ can be chipped. For the manual we are getting overrun on gear change so no can do at the moment. It still has the option of EGT control and MAP control

I'm in the same boat jaywindy. Wondering if Robert has a view on which chip suitable for the 1KZ manual is better.......

There is a new Chip It chip that will be released real soon for the 1KZ and should suit the manual.

Thanks

On another note, my chip and EGT get installed Wednesday. I was going to do it myself but CBF after the effort with the 3 inch exhaust.

From reading your posts Rob it dosn't look like you have done any your self. You just pass the tools to Matt lol

Would hate to see what happens if Matt isn't around and something goes wrong

Hey Schaffer

Actually I took the bloody thing of except for a small pipe at the front which I left for Matty. Not really asking much, he only had to undo 3 easy peesy little bolts. I mean ignoring the numerous posts describing how this is an absolute prick of a job, how hard could removing 3 bolts be?

He did put all all on after, but in my defence I was at work carrying the responsibility of making sure SA and the greater Australia survives the GFC....

I will ignore the fineprint lol

Foot note: Someone needs to supervise!

Tune It and DP (and Roo and Rapid) all use the very same chip!

Flip open a 4WD Action mag and check their product pics ... all the same ... just a difference sticker on the box.

They import them from Europe ... so all your $$$ are heading out of the country whichever way you do it. :-(

Correct. I have never fitted one. I dont fit much these days ... I just tune and write up reports. Always stuck behind a dog gone computer!! Justin, Dean and Adam do all the fit ups. BTW, who is Matt?

Guys also we have some good news.

We are also closer to getting the RF interference issue sorted with the Prado 120 and 150. It is 100% now an RF filtering issue. We have some parts on order (ferrite clamps) that gives us the filtering we need.

For an explaination of what these ferrites are and how they work: Click Here

It is a simple fix but trying to nail it home has been difficult as we needed to find the right strength ferrite. What all the customers that had trouble with stalling issues etc (with our chip and also DP, Tuneit Roo etc) were experiencing is related to RFI. This was either in the form of UHF transmissions (ie using a walkie talkie in the cabin) or some other random RF signal and could also be injector noise depending where the chip was mounted. As mentioned, not all customers experienced this problem but too many for our liking.

If you have experienced this issue with our chip, feel free to send it back to us for rectification. We will even pay for postage.

Any questions ... please ask me.

Cheers

Robert is Schafer' previous post correct then, that you are still working on a chip that will suit the 1KZ manual?

[MidLifeCrisis Out of control poster! Find all posts View Profile Close MidLifeCrisis]

Sorry Rob, my comments wasn't at you. It was at MidLifeCrisis.

My understanding is that the engineer, Andre, is working on the new chip which will be released very very soon. I also believe that this addresses the current issue with the manual. My understanding that there is no significant change, performance wise, for the auto from old to new.

Schaffer - what do you mean by this comment? Its a bit misleading/confusing.
