Tunit installed

[miner-matt]

Hi fellas, well a cpl weeks ago I finally had the go ahead to source a chip for the nav. The mrs wants a van now so I insisted I needed more herbs to pull and waaalaaaa permission granted. Installed on Saturday and so far I am impressed with the chip, no supercar improvements or anything but there is a noticeable increase especially low to mid range. Pulls great between 1800 an 2800 and will be interesting to see how it goes chugging a van along. I currently have it set on 7 and may go to 8 at a later stage to see how it goes, as currently there isn't any bellows of black smoke as I lay the boot in trying to see if there is any.

So after 3 days I'm thinking why didn't i do this from new, then I hear my name being called... Ahh that's right

Cheers
Matt

Just had Tunit chip, new exhaust, egr blank & DPF removed and picked it up this morning. Looking forward to giving it a proper run but can already feel a marked improvement around town. Chip is set on 5 but I'll have a muck around with different settings later on. I've got a 2011 D40 Thai built.

You should be right to crank it up a couple more notches, when i first got mine i installed it on the 7. Mines a 09 stx manual, have a snorkel, beaudesert exhaust and the EGR blank. Last week I dialed it into the 8 to see how it would go, went better and no faults and no noticable bellows of smoke when up it either but since the 7 was fine i dialled it back to that. When i have achance im goin to have a crack at the top setting to see how it goes. Am I right in thinking if the setting is to high the old girl will smoke like puffing billy? and some faults coming up? With the mods you have try the 7 next, though fuel economy has increased about .5l per hundredish i think but that may be my over excited right hoof

I'd defiantly recommed having an exhaust temp gauge, they reckon 2.5s run pretty hot standard.

I'll definitely give it a crack over the next couple of weeks.

Have done a few k's now, about 300 with decent box trailer load tunit set on 5. Power was great with much reduced hunting from overdrive to 4th. On return trip without trailer I dialled chip up to 7 and the difference has blown me away.....so much more power & torque it really feels like a different car. Haven't done the fuel figures yet but the gauge is just below 3/4 and done 260 km. Looking forward to see how it goes with van in tow.

No black soot going back into the engine, better fuel economy , bit more go when at part throttle .
After doing mine returned a saving of 1l/100k add that up over 7000k and it's the best $13 I've spent on a mod
