Chip It Advantages

For tire smoking power, smooth, responsive torque and reliable diesel engine management … we are simply unbeatable.

POWER MODULE:

The Chip It Diesel Performance Module is an advanced computer which exploits current diesel engine technology to provide an immediate boost to the engine’s horse power and torque up to 35 – 50% (more in some cases). The Advanced Chip It Computer Module comes pre-tuned for plug and play fitting however also provides engine tuners, with the ability to tune into your engine the power it was made to have.

The tuning potential allows engineers to “stoke the coals” and deliver an engine power-up sensation. Unique capabilities including real time data manipulating software and MAP Control feature provided free of charge, bring out the hidden power currently locked up within your engine and factory ECU.

Both large and small vehicles owners are now enjoying a dramatically new feel to their vehicle such that they never imagined possible. Whether towing a boat or caravan, pulling up hill or need safer overtaking power, we know you will be very satisfied with what a Chip It Performance Module will do for you.

Experience the difference yourself with a full 30 day money back guarantee if the Chip doesn’t provide the power we say it will.

POWER AND TORQUE INCREASE:

The Chip It Module is the most cost efficient method of increasing the power of your diesel engine on the market today.  The Chip It Module was designed for the 4WD’s and trucking industry who want more power right across the

rev range … not just on full throttle.  The Chip It Module really makes your diesel engine come alive.  With its advanced electronics, the smart Power Module can boast increased midrange torque figures of around 25 – 50% for most vehicles with very good gains right from the get go!

Increased midrange torque allows for greater progress through the gears, safer over-taking, faster up-hill climbs and ease of towing.

TURBO BOOSTING:

The real secret to big power increases is to add both fuel and airflow to achieve a complete burn of extra fuel.

If you don’t burn the extra fuel, then you’re just over-fuelling, and excessive black smoke is one of the many signs of over-fuelling.  The problem with over-fuelling is that it can dramatically increases the exhaust gas temperature’s (EGT) of a diesel, which can lead to engine problems.

Most modern diesel engines can withstand temperature between 650-800 degrees Celsius  for only a matter of a few seconds at a time without incurring permanent damage – but there is always some level of risk.

Higher density air provides the engine the ability to produce a given amount of power with less throttle.   This generally equates to better fuel economy as well.  It also means the engine has greater power generating potential … accelerating and over-taking etc.  Smoother all-round performance is thus the result.   On the reliability side, having colder air (through the use of intercoolers, efficient intake systems such as snorkels etc) will reduce EGTs, and also reduces the chances of detonation.

In short, with diesel tuning, when increasing fuel delivery EGTs and black smoke (un-burnt diesel) increase as well.  By adding extra air to the combustion process you can avoid high EGTs.  This is where the Chip It Performance Module outshines the competition.

As a FREE option, we build into every Chip It CR Module our unique Turbo Boost Controller.

Ensuring optimal airflow will allow the engine to accept more fuel without dangerously high EGTs.  Electronic boost control on a modern diesel engine on variable vane or fixed vane turbochargers will allow for instant increase of boost pressure, allowing for higher airflow.   The Chip It Performance Module has a built-in boost controller and effective boost control is managed electronically without risk as only a minimal increase is needed to provide the benefits discussed above.

So without increasing air flow into the engine when adding fuel WILL cause exhaust gas temperatures to rocket beyond safe levels and can spell the eventual death for the engine or turbocharger.   Many performance chip users seem unaware of the potentially expensive engine damage such modifications can cause.  Their first consideration is how much power they can add to their diesel vehicle.    With a Chip It Performance Module we take care of the extra air.  :)

This free extra feature also allows the user to defeat the factory boost limiter and allows a much better, safer tune.

This extra tuning system would normally cost $300.00 or more, AND is not found on other performance  chips.  At Chip It however we know that this extra feature will allow customers to get the most out of the Tuning Module and add another level of safety when Chipping their common rail diesel engine.

DPF REMOVAL.

Many diesel vehicles have diesel particulate filters(DPF’s) such as the Nissan D40 Navara and Mitsubishi Pajero. These filters are used to catch diesel particulates in your exhuast gases in an effort to reduce the amount of black smoke your vehicle produces. However these filters eventually block up with these particulates and conduct a “burn cycle”. This cycle works by injecting diesel into the filter in an effort to heat it up and burn away the blockage. Unfortunately after the DPF has been through a numerous amount of burn cycles it starts degrading and eventually stops working. The life expectancy of these filters is less than 10 years and that is under perfect working conditions. Replacement of these filters can cost anywhere between $2500 and $4000.

However we provides a solution to replacing these filters while providing more engine efficiency and lower exhuast gas temperatures(EGT’s).

We have designed a straight through 3″ stainless steel replacement pipe (which we like to call a DPF delete pipe) which will fit up with the orignal exhaust system and DPF sensors without throwing an engine check light. These pipes remove the need for the vehicle to conduct a “burn cycle” because the sensors wont read a blockage(obviousely because the pipe is straight through). The vehicle also achieves better exhuast flow and lower EGT’s for the same reason.

We do not recommend that owners of vehicles with DPF’s buy a diesel performance chip until this has been replaced with our DPF delete pipe. This is to save you money and head aches. When you increse the power of a diesel, you increse the amount of fuel going into the combustion cycle which means more diesel particulates in your exhuast gases. This means your DPF is going to block up more quickly.

RIGOROUS TUNE TESTING:

Every Chip It Module is thoroughly tested in our manufacturing facility here in Australia.  This testing is conducted in-house by our own master vehicle tuners.  All tunes are tested using Australian fuel under Australian conditions using Australian Complied Vehicles.  This means no error codes and Modules THAT WORK FIRST TIME, EVERY TIME!

EASE OF CUSTOM TUNING:

The Chip It Performance Module, although being able to be digitally tuned via laptop, come with many preset tunes which provide you superior overall results and can be left as is.  However, where users wish to, the Chip It Module is easily customised (by professional tuners) to allow more grunt off the mark and more power in the mid range.  Also, if and when you add go fast bits (ie larger exhaust, after market dump pipe, ram air tubes, larger turbo etc) the Module is totally re-configurable to accomodate these changes.

Please note: we go through pains taking effort to provide safe and reliable tunes to be able to warrant our tunes.  We cannot provide warranty if the standard tunes have been modified.  A software footprint allows us to track these changes.

REMOTE TUNING:

As an extra service we are also able to offer remote assistance.  You may not ever need it, but it’s good to know it’s there if you need it.  With our remote Desktop feature we call, “Co-Pilot”, we are able to log in to help you with a custom tune.  This advantage allows you to have us there with you.  Imagine, a full custom tune to suit your vehicle and your mods without bringing the vehicle to us.  Now that’s a good idea!

INDIVIDUAL CHIP AND MODULE TESTING:

Every Chip It System is mapped to maximise the performance of each engine family.  When necessary, mapping can be easily customised via laptop software provided free of charge with every unit purchased.  Changes can be made to suit a larger exhaust system or higher turbo boost pressures for example.

RELIABILITY:

When you buy a Chip It Module, you know we have conducted many hours of tuning to reach safe and reliable power increases straight out of the box.  Our diesel experience also means a service quality second to none.  After sales service and 48 hour parts replacement policy provides you with a further piece of mind.

RETAIN FACTORY “CEL” & SAFETY CODES:

Although it is easier and cheaper to control fuel injection ‘Post factory ECU’ our Chip It Module provides much safer increases in vehicle performance from ‘Pre factory ECU’ fitments for a variety of reasons.

One significant reason being that if your engine runs into trouble and the factory ECU need to start winding back performance based on, for example, over-temp or other adverse reading then the “Pre-ECU” changes would be accommodated in factory ECU programming to safe-guard your engine where as a “Post factory ECU” Chips would simply be working against these variations.

The obvious answer is the have your Chip the type that utilises “Pre factory ECU” technology. Make sure you ask the other brands what position they utilise before you buy.

The Chip It Module is made in such a way as to allow your vehicle’s factory computer to display error codes, servicing intervals properly.  All diagnostic capabilities are never lost or tampered with.  All vehicle manufacture’s engine safety systems remain UNTOUCHED.   Your factory ECU will function precisely as it did before the System was fitted.  This includes Airbags, Limp Home modes, Anti-lock brakes and all other safety system installed.  No interference downstream keeps you and your engine safe.  This also means manufacturer’s diagnostics testing will not find our Chip It Module because testing sees what the factory ECU is “saying”.

NEW FACTORY WARRANTY:

Feel at ease when taking the vehicle back to a dealer for servicing or a warranty claim.  If you are concerned by what the dealer may say about the Module being installed, the Chip It Module can be easily removed so as to bring the vehicle back to standard.  However, in the event that you have removed the Chip It Module prior to going back to the dealer and the vehicle manufacturer still attributes a fault to the Chip It Module and will not meet their new vehicle warranty obligations, Chip It will Stand Behind Their Product and cover the new car engine warranty provided the Manufacturer supplies a written report stating the fault, Chip It will authorise repairs if the claim is proven.  See our Terms and Conditions for a full explanation.

NB. This is available with the purchase of the EGT Controlled Chip only as this is the only Chip that safe-guards your engine as you drive.

EASY INSTALLATION:

All Chip It Performance Modules are designed to be installed by anyone with basic mechanical knowledge.  Wherever possible, original OEM electrical plugs and connectors are used to facilitate easy installation.  Our Systems do not require any engineering or governmental endorsements and therefore can be installed by anyone.  No tuning is required as the pre-set and pre-programmed tunes are optimised for near maximum performance of your engine type.

TRANSPORTABILITY:

The Chip It Module is fully transportable.  When fitting the Module you do not destroy any of the vehicle’s intake hoses, piping or electronics etc.  If you on-sell your vehicle, you can quickly and easily remove the Module and have the vehicle back to standard within minutes.  When fitting to your next vehicle, simply call us to order your new vehicle’s plug type.  With the order you will receive the new plug to interface with your module together with instruction for the new tune to suit your new vehicle.

MONEY BACK GUARANTEE:

Our most important asset is YOU! Therefore we pride ourselves with 100% customer satisfaction.

To give our customers ultimate piece of mind in purchasing our Modules, if the Module does not increase the power of your vehicle as we promise it will, simply return back to us the undamaged System in the original packaging within 30 days and we will give you the full purchase price of that Module back to you minus delivery fee.

That’s called putting our money where our mouth is.

PRICING:

The Chip It Performance Module with the FREE Boost Controller and optional EGT Controller is available direct from the manufacturer prices less than some of our competitor’s price of just standard fuel controlling chips.  Our prices includes, pre-set vehicle specific tunes, tune up-loader software and electronic boost controller and the harnesses to fit the Chip to your vehicle.

NB Other more expensive Chips resellers market their Chips for between $1300 and $1600 installed so we know we our price our customers will be totally satisfied!

TUNER PRO SOFTWARE:

Standard software is included free of charge. This allows uploading of our factory tested tunes.  Software for installer/resellers/experience tuners, which allows for full custom tuning, is $880.00 incl GST and is available ONLY to professional Dyno Tuners registered with Chip It.

EGR VALVE BLANKING:

Q. What is an Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) valve?
A. The EGR valve controls a passageway between the intake and exhaust manifolds. When the EGR valve opens, exhaust gasses flow from the exhaust manifold through the valve and into the intake manifold, keeping NOx emissions within state limits.

Q. Why block off the EGR supply port?
A. These hot, oxygen-depleted, exhaust gases displace (dilute) the cooler incoming oxygen-rich air and has a quenching effect on combustion and combustion temperatures. This reduces engine performance and raises intake air temperatures dramatically.

Q. What are the benefits of blocking the EGR Supply Port?
A. Many.
1) Cooler intake air temps.
2) More performance.
3) Less engine oil contamination.
4) Cleaner engine oil means increased engine life.
5) Cooler exhaust temps.
6) No Soot in intake which keeps vacuum / boost lines clean

Q. What are the negatives of blocking the EGR passageway?
A. This is for offroad use only … it is against the law to change the way the vehicle’s emission control systems function. … we must mention this for legal reasons.

An EGR Blanking Plate allows the engine to use oxygenated air rather than hot exhaust which is recirculated into the intake stream. It also keeps the engine oil cleaner by keeping pollutants away from the crankcase.

Many CR-D engines EGR valves can be blocked. However some will throw a code (P0299) and this means that the inlet manifold senors read a pressure differential, this can only be resolved by drilling a ten millimeter hole in the EGR plate creating a restrictive plate rather than a blank. This EGR restrictor plate reduces 90% of exhuast flow.

Just another reason to go for a Chip It Diesel Performance Solution Module.
