4.5 Dyno & chip result.

[Wheels]

The chip hype is over rated. I have not heard from any body that got a huge improvement in fuel usage as claimed by the chip manufacturers.
It all depends how you drive the car. I got on a recent trip to Namibia 16l/100km ( 6.25 km/l) fully loaded,my speed was between 100km/h and 110km/h leading a convoy. This is with a standard 4.8. In the desert was another story , but got a respectable 3.2km/l in the dunes. On most of my open road trips my fuel average is between 18 and 19l/100km depending on the wind
When you go the chip route you also need to look at your exhaust system.

Ek het dit gese, ek sal dit weer se en ek se dit nou: CHIP ALLEEN MAAK NIE GENOEG VERSKIL NIE ... punt.

I have said so and I say again: CHIP ON IT's OWN THE DIFFERENCE DOES NOT MAKE !!! fullstop [en sommer fool stop ook]

Choose between MAUS / Van Der Linde or Steve's Auto Clinic [Gauteng .. dunno about the rest of country - down Cape Town way is one Kosie Swanepoel who seems to be good]

Then: Have the heads gas flowed: Profile the CAM tou YOUR needs [either low end POWER i.e: Torque - OR performance [kilowatts]
THEN fit branches and a decent freeflow exhuast system .. if after all that you still deem it necc'sry, you CHIP it AND dyno at the place that does the chip

en as jy nie alles dit wil dioen nie -- LOS DIT laat staan vergeet...
[vra maar vir AGAROB se nuwe baas HOE loop daai 3-liter Trol [en kom voel maar vir BOEZMAN ook ]

Had all of the above done to mine at Vanderline and it did nothing for the consumption even if I drive it in a civilised fashion. But that said it goes like a rocketship now.
If you buy a Patrol make peace with the consumption or you will never enjoy it.

Dom vraag van n rekenmeester, hoekom doen n Patrol 4.8 nie beter in die duine nie, sekerlik met daardie kragtige motor en 1bar bande behoort hy mos oor die sand te float ??
