August 25, 200323 yr #1 Before I start with the figures, let me just quickly lay some groundwork about these dyno figures. They were (obviously) done on Lachlans 2wd dyno, 4th gear (manual) and NOT in shootout mode. Please don't post any "mine did this and mine did that" - unless they were on Chip Torque's dyno today, they cannot really be compared. Base reading peak, approx 180kws ATW ( At The Wheels).Lachlan's words, "the healthiest XR6 turbo" he has run up by 7-10kws ATW.That was from my running in technique - seriously. :D But what you really want to know is what it is right now..... and increase of approx 50kws (peak) ATW. Mid-range is up to 60-70kws ATW.So, what does it go like, hmmmm, pretty damn GOOD! Different car. It is a ute, don't even try to nail it if you are not lined up straight out of corners and even in a straight line under full noise it is trying - and sometimes DOES, break loose. The acceleration is unrelenting, regardless of gear.Absolutely the best money I have spent. Simply awesome. It would fair dinkum put car lengths on my ute previously - it is that good. Other mods I did before I got this done, removed the centre muffler and a unifilter ram-pod (shielded from the engine bay). Maybe that is where the extra base line kws came from?? It sounds much better - deeper and whistles and pops more, pretty good for a stinkin' ute !!!I will keep you informed of road-kill... oops, did I say that??? :D
August 25, 200323 yr #2 what boost are you running, how much and is it just a piggy back set up and what rwklw very intereseted in your feed back cheers
August 25, 200323 yr #3 Sounds great.So tell me, what does the chip torque mod actually do. Can you scan in the dyno sheets?I'm personally interested in off the mark (bottom end torque) more than anything else. Did this improve?Thanks
August 25, 200323 yr #4 Author Piggy back X-ede. Running around 9psi. It seems a little cleaner - crisper, but feels generally the same until around 2-2500 rpm. Then at about 4000rpm, all hell breaks loose :D No chip will help a turbo spool up any quicker - that is dictated by compressor sizes, plumbing etc. The chip only affects how much boost (fuel, ignition etc) is fed into the engine - how quick it can get there is all those other things.$990, you cannot go wrong.

August 25, 200323 yr #6 Turbo6,I live in Brisbane and we share the same coloured car. Mine however is not a ute. I am getting the mod done asap - no question. Can you please give me the details of who did the mod and I am there.It sound almost too good to be true. For $990 it would make our cars the best performance cars for the money.
August 26, 200323 yr #7 If you are talking to Lachlan, tell him to update his website, I went looking for what they had to offer the other day and found nothing :(Glad to hear that they have put up an offering
August 26, 200323 yr #8 We have had our auto done by chiptorque as well and all I can say is I agree with turbo6 it has transfored the car. We have also fitted three and have inch exhaust and ss inductions air intake.the exhaust has help to bring the turbo in qiucker. Ian
August 26, 200323 yr #9 Turbo6> very impressive and sounds like genuine achievable figures to me which is not the case with some of the claims we hear about - and the value for money is unarguable.
August 26, 200323 yr #10 so all up, you'd reckon you spent, what?? about $1500???That bloody mad!!! better then uni-chip!! ;-)Dave.
