TD5 power chips

(1/3) > >>

vtrdaz:
Anybody any experience of them?

thermidorthelobster:
Yes, several.

You can read the threads I wrote on alt.fan.landrover here and here about the Superchips, van Aaken and Autologic upgrades.

Any questions, just shout.  I think my spreadsheet is still there with all the data.

Get a proper ECU chip change or re-flash (depending on model year)... by somebody who knows what there doing!!!

Interupter boxes just confuse the fuel injector pulse width, they cock up  the timing - thus where cylinder peak pressure occurs and often dump to much fuel in at the wrong place which ramps up the EGT - resulting in warped exhaust manifolds or worse.

Often fitted with blue scotch lock connectors - which shows how good they are!!!

Often cause 'no-starts' (i.e. engine won't start) or mill light's to be illuminated.

Don't like turbo boost pressure increases either... which is a shame as even a standard TD5 goes better with a higher boost pressure!!!

thermidorthelobster:
Jeremy Fearn users tend to report a massive gain in power, but also in my experience have a tendency to report warped exhaust manifolds.

In fact I've heard of about 4-5 TD5 users with this problem and all of them have had JJF upgrades.

If you can live with this, then fine (cutting the webbing between the ducts helps), but if not you might want to go for a more moderate upgrade.
