New Diesel Performance Chips with EGT Control = SAFETY FOR YOUR ENGINE.

Hi Forum members

Just wish to announce our new line on Diesel Performance Chips.

Many would have already heard the good things we are doing with our Chip Modules. Feel fee to ask me questions about adding performance to your 4WD.

For now I can tell you:

CHIP IT DIESEL PERFORMANCE CHIPS NOT ONLY MODIFY THE FUEL COMMON RAIL BUT ALSO EXCLUSIVELY MOD THE TURBO MAP AS WELL.

ALSO, WE ARE THE ONLY CHIP MANUFACTURER THAT SAFE GUARDS YOUR ENGINE AS YOU DRIVE WITH OUR UNIQUE EXHAUST GAS TEMPERATURE CONTROLLER.

THIS PIECE OF KIT INTERFACES WITH THE PERFORMANCE CHIP AND DE-TUNES IT IF YOUR ENGINE'S EGTS START TO CLIMB TOO HIGH. THEN AFTER THE EGTS HAVE STABILISED, THE CONTROLLER AUTOMATICALLY RE-TUNES THE CHIP FOR MAX PERFORMANCE. NO OTHER CHIP ON THE MARKET GIVES YOU THESE GREAT FEATURES.

WE DESIGN AND MAKE THE CHIPS OURSELVES. NO IMPORTING OR REBADGING LIKE MOST OF THE OTHERS.

SEE THE WEBSITE FOR DETAILS

WWW.CHIPIT.COM.AU

Again, if you wish to ask me about specifics, feel free

Cheers

I have a Edge Attiude on my F250 which detunes if it gets to hot. I also can adjust the hp and torque on the fly.

Thats super ... glad they are now getting popular ... but the yanks are always out there trying. We Aussies seem to forget these important points.

Then our product is the only Aussie made product with these features. :)

What extra power are you getting?

up to 75hp and 200foot pound extra but its adjustable so I drive at 30hp extra.

We not only do Ford but all other Common rail vehicles too.

5 years warranty and 30 days money back guarantee.

There has been a lot of info written about chipping as well as the adding of LPG systems to diesel engines.
From a thorough reading of the articles I have come to the conclusion that adding LPG system to diesel engines is fraught with the danger of having to replace the engine when the system fails (which seems more than likely) or not being able to find anyone to fix a problem if it arises.
The chipping debate came to the conclusion that adding a $10 or maybe even a $50 chip that has been programmed and the price grossly inflated is also a waste of time. The discussion seemed to be focused on the technology behind diesel engine design and the research that goes into getting an engine on the road and working at its best.
Ultimately I chose to go with the safer option, not spend $1000 just to find that it really does not make any difference.

Sorry ... I am missing your point.
So what did you go with?

If you didn't go with a chip why dont you try ours? I will honour a 30 day money back gaurantee just so you know the product IS as good as we say it is.

I cannot gaurantee a fuel savings however most customers do tell us they get between 7 and 10% fuel savings. Now thats not bad when you have all that extra power right???

I am generalising about advertised add-ons for vehicles and the wide ranging amount of information that is available about their capacity to do what they claim.
I think my article is fairly self explanatory and a warning to people that the proof is not there regardless of the claims.
The other problem you have now introduced is that of PROOF. The onus will be on the new owner to prove that there is not a fuel improvement which can create a difficult and possible hostile situation.
I had a substantial improvement in fuel economy when I increased my tyre pressures. A simple process that did not cost over $1000.
Thank you for the offer.... 30 days is insufficient for a trial period. To be affective it would need to be 6 months. Just to allow for the many variations that come up with motorhome travel.
I set out to add some balance to your article after investigating the products thoroughly previously and deciding that the properly conducted test reports and stories I have read do not support the claims.
I am happy to chase that info up and attach those in future articles if you like.
Increasing your tyre pressure has an immediate affect.

investigating thoroughly?? Did you speak to our customers?

BTW teh testimonials on our site are absolutely real. We get them emailed to us and I stick them on the site. Most of the time I get the full name and address but I wont put those full details up on the site out of respect for their privacy of course.

There is an enormous amount of info about issues with diesel chipping.

It smacks of snake oil to me , the only ones with "proof" are the chip sellers " sums up some of what I have been seeing elsewhere.

Google has plenty of sites with people talking about chipping and the associated problems.

Is this true "Many insurance companies will not insure your vehicle if it is fitted with a performance enhancing chip. The chip will almost certainly increase the exhaust gas temperature which can be detrimental on engine life. Please check before proceeding"?

I think it has been proven without any doubt chipping can give either more power OR better economy never both and for every person that has had a good result there are others that have suffered dire consequences you only get so many bangs for a buck increase the bang and something will give eventually.

I think I have added sufficient information to get people to do their own research. It was always only ever my intention to divert people away from the advertised blurb and ask questions and search the web before outlaying a whole lot of money and possible frustration.

Hi Laurens

I can honestly tell you that almost all of our customers are happy first time around. If we stuff up with some human error and load wrong firmware or send out the wrong T piece to a customer we should be judged on how well and how quickly we respond. Wouldn't you agree?

You may be correct with some other brands of chip. In fact DP, rapid, Tuneit and Roo all use the same Kurbel chip from Germany and rebadge them to call them their own. This simple variable resister type tuning chip IS a really primative way of tuning these sophisticated engines but not all chip manufacturers are the same.

Did you know we make our own chips right here in Oz? We do. We are an Aussie company that saw the deficiency of the chips out there and thought that we could make a much better, more sophisticated chip. We built the Chip with the facility to add more fuel AS WELL AS MORE AIR. This means we balance the air fuel ratios. It means that EGTs are better controlled. It also means we get better efficiencies from the power upgrade.

It ALSO means that MOST customer do get extra power AND better economy

Do we have client thats we cannot satisfy .. yep .. you bet .. but I gaurantee we have a better client satisfaction rate THAN ANY AUSSIE SELLERS. We bend over backwards to help customers. We go further I feel than others and people are telling other people about this and business is growing month after month.

About your post about insurance companies ... as you know, insurance companies will find ANY reason to cancel a claim. Ie they can void the insurance if the emissions standards of the vehicle were changed because the vehicle is no longer "road worthy" from a legal perspective. That means, snorkels, K & N Air filters, bigger tyres, etc etc.

So this is nothing new ... but to single out a CHIP as a big monster is a little below the belt.

Hope you see the spirit of what I am saying and trust you can be a little more generous and not paint us all with the same brush.

Cheers

Robert

Thank you for your response.
I assure you that I was not singling you out. You have posted here and I wanted to add what I considered was some balance. Things are never as rosy or simple as they are pointed out on advertising.
Even by your own admission there are problems in the CHIP industry and from your explanation it seems you have either stand behind your Chip or have overcome the problems others have experienced.
Thank you for taking the time to defend your product.

Thanks Laurens.

Cheers

My only concern with the Chip it chip is the disclaimer saying only to be used in 'off road situations'. The main reason I ended up purchasing the DP chip instead.

Really? The reason we write that is because fitting of ANY performance product (chip or snorkel) is technically illegal because of the change in emissions. Any change in emissions output ... good or bad is illegal ...even added bigger tyres or sports air filters.

That's the reason.

It makes no difference to our product because we write this down and keep the beaks happy.

I wish you would have spoken to us befiore you went down the DP chip route ... I know our chip goes much further in features and benefits as DP ... which incidentally is the very same product as TuneIt, Rapid, and Roo. You can see this from the ads they all run in 4WD Action mag. All same chip from Europe with different stickers on the lid. Plus all they do is add fuel. Our Chip adds fuel as well as more air via the built-in Boost Controller togethe with an Exhaust Gas Temp Controller which de-tunes the chip if the exhaust gases increase in temp too much. All this for $1299 and made right here in Oz and tune by Aussies using Aussie fuels.

Now I think that's real value for money considering we provide 5 years warranty and 30 days money back guarantee

This looks like a 3 in 1 package.

you betcha.

For features, benefits and price ... and the fact that its an Aussie product made by us (not imported re-badged product) its really great value for money in anyone's book.

... except our competition. :)
