Thoughts on chipping a 2.5 triton?

Post by tltourer »

I see there are a few chips on trade me, ranging from $695 to $2000 that appear to add in some extra fuel for a boost in torque.
The magnum and original tuning box caught my eye but maybe there are others?

Very interested to hear of peoples experiences with these

for nissan abviously but have a squizz, the triton and Paj is sold new over there so should have em aswell.

I'd suggest fitting a pyro gauge too so ya can keep an eye on ya motor

this is how i get close to 900 kms off 55 litres of diesel or can over take a new hilux with the flick of a switch.
Waiter...there is a drought in my glass.

I have run mine chipped since 20k. (done 40k now)
I import them... Or just buy one from racechip.de The base model works fine, I run the ultimate model and don't really notice the difference.

Hasn't hurt fuel economy as it has been crap since new. Definitely recommend one. Only thing I have found is that you'll have to tighten the hose clips on the turbo hoses, I blew them all off. I also got an overboost fault last week, doing 125k in 4th cog, passing 3 trucks and bosses 2013 hilux up hill fully loaded. Full motor shutdown!
Dont follow me. i'll get stuck and need a tow..
