DP Chip For Patrol
DP-31
Patrol 3.2 CRD makes 118 kw and 347 nm of torque standard. With a DP Chip it'll make 140kw and 418nm !
How it Works
The DPChip is designed to simply and safely modify the engines
fuel injection parameters to increase performance. Once you've fitted a
DPChip you'll begin to experience the true optimum performance of your
engine. The DPChip digitally alters both fuel volume and fuel timing to
optimise the entire engine map. Be wary of European imitations which
only alter fuel volume without fuel timing simultaneously. These
European systems are also not set up for Australia's conditions.
Operating temperatures in cooler climates mean they are not sut up
correctly for use in Australia's hot conditions. Australian diesel is
of a different quality to European diesel so please consider the
benefits of a prodcut like the DPChip which is set up specifically for
Australian conditions. Unlike some other systems on the market, DPChip
has been extensively tested in 'REAL WORLD' conditions, not just in a
controlled environment such as a dyno room, and thanks to the help of
the leading 4WD diesel experts in Australia the DPChip has the
advantage as being truly tested tough! Our ongoing development program
ensures we keep up to date with the latest engine management and
injection systems..
Installation
The DPChip is designed for quick and easy installation. Most
DPChips are a simple plug and play installation using original adapter
plugs. It is absolutely impossible to damage your vehicles electronics
or ECU before, during or after installation because the DPChip is
'downstream' of the ECU and remains in a 'slave' position. Your
existing engine computer remains in 'master' control of all engine
operational safety features at all times. DPChip cannot make any
changes until the ECU has told it everything is safe and 'good to go'.
There is no way to short out or damage your ECU or electrical system
during installation of a wire-in DPChip. We have designed the DPChip
with engine safety as the primary concern at all times. It is simply
impossible to damage something even if you connect up the wrong wires
during a wire-in DPChip installation. All that would happen in that
case is the DPChip will not function. Every DPChip comes with detailed
illustrated fitting instructions so it can be easily self installed.
Alternately, any auto electrician or one of our distributors could
easily install the DPChip in around 10 - 40 minutes depending on
vehicle type.
DPChip is compact and lightweight, the smallest being only 10cm
across, the largest being 13.5cm. The DPChip is designed to be fitted
easily and discreetly and most models come complete with matching or
original plugs and an original style harness resulting in a true
'Plug&Play' device. One particular advantage the DPChip has is that
it is installed 'down stream' of the ECU. This means that the
electronic changes that it is making are downstream of the vehicles
factory ECU, between the ECU and the injection pump in most instances.
This helps prevent conflicts with the factory ECU signals. Most other
tuning devices on the market are 'upstream' and interfer with the
vehicles ECU often causing problems with engine warning lights coming
on unexpectedly. With DPChip there are no such problems, your ECU
handles all operational safety and warning systems as per normal.
Generally a DPChip can be installed in around 30-60 minutes with the
simplest being a matter of a few minutes. All are designed to be easily
installed by people of average mechanical capability, or if you prefer,
you can have it professionally installed at one of our distributors. If
you wish to remove the DPChip, for either transferring onto another
vehicle or for any other reason, it is just as easy.
Adjustable Tuning
Your DPChip will come already pre-adjusted to suit your make and
model of engine and no further adjustment is required. If however, you
decide to enhance your vehicle further, perhaps by adding larger
intercoolers, larger exhausts, larger tyres etc. you can easily adjust
the DPChip to match the new modification so the full potential can be
reached. With fixed map boxes and chips this is not possible and a new
chip or box would be required.
Adjustment is simple and allows you varying degrees of control
over just how much power you want. The 2 Series DPChips use a small
screw upon the body to optimize a number of parameters while the 3
Series DPChips have 10 pre-programmed power settings which the user can
adjust for more power.
10 Position Selector
The different settings are really more of a fine tuning and to
account for slight variations between individual vehicles. If the
vehicle is a factory standard vehicle then just leave it set on 5. If
it is modified or you fit a larger intercooler or exhaust then you can
adjust upwards to take advantage of this but there is really no need.
We flash the chip inside the module with the rotary dial set on 5.
This is an arbitrary setting but if we flashed it with the dial set on
9 you could only adjust downwards. Each notch up or down from 5 moves
the whole programming inside the chip up or down a few percent.
Instructions for adjustment come with the chip. Feel free to
'play' and find what is best for your style of driving and vehicle. We
don't recommend going above 7 or 8 on a factory standard vehicle. You
can't damage the vehicle at all. Each vehicle will be different, even
if produced in the same factory on the same day. We have seen this with
two of the same vehicles, one having a 'best' setting of 6 and the
other 8. These were same month and year model of the same vehicle type.
The 3 Series DPChips also have adjustable tuning via USB
connection. These are able to be 'laptop tuned'This DPChip is extremely
compact around the size of a small mobile phone and is used on
Common-rail injected diesels such BMW X5 and Mercedes CRD engines. It
features a harness with original plugs for ease of fitting and is
pre-set to your vehilce by us. Further adjustable tuning is possible,
either manually or electronically via lap top tuning (at our premises).
This DPChip has several unique features such as the laptop tuning and
easy to fit plugs. Fitting takes less than ten minutes on most vehicles.
The DP31 system is designed to work with Common Rail injection
systems that use both Magnetic Solenoid controlled injectors and the
latest Piezo Solenoid controlled injectors. This style of system of
injection system is very old and for example is how EFI petrol cars
have operated for many years now by utilising individual electronically
controlled injectors with fuel pressure being supplied to all injectors
via a common source (fuel rail). Now, the DP31 is actually installed in
a series connection situation so signaling is actually running through
this style of DPChip. The DPChip DP31 is programmed to read the
vehicles ECU signals and determine the engines present operating
conditions. The DPChip DP31 makes changes to TWO areas; 1 area altered
due to the DPChip is the injector start of injection (timing) and
duration of time the injector is open (fuel volume) and the 2nd area
altered by the DPChip being fuel rail pressure (fuel volume). These 3
points are altered by the DPChip through Digital signal changes and
Voltage changes. This differentiates the DPChip DP31 from European
Chips that are either altering fuel rail pressure only for more fuel
volume, or by holding the injector open longer for more fuel volume!
Not very efficient in any terms.
Each DPChip comes with detailed illustrated fitting instructions
so they can be easily self installed, alternately any auto electrician
could fit it for you.
The DP-31 is a simple self install plug and play fitting using original adapter plugs and fits in around 5 mins.
