Nissan Patrol 4x4 (Africa)

Hi Tinus,What chip did you fit to your car?

Good Day, Just a thought
If your Patrol are fitted with a catalytic converter and Lamda sensors,Don't worry to much to fit a Chip.Also you can not change mutch on the exhaust...
If not,you can fit a chip,but a proper freeflow wil make a bigger diffirance.
Cheers.

Hi frans
It was fitted by dastek and is the piggy back sistem with bypass brige I will phone them on monday and find out

Thanks
I am familliar with the Uni-chip.I am a Uni-chip dealer.
The bridgeplug,are you useing it at the moment?

hi frans
no i am not they told me if i get to the coast and it pings or if we suspect a problem i must fit it but it has never been necessary in 2 years also they set it up for high veld use but never heard a ping at the coast all i know is that there is more power and less feul

How do I know if my Patrol have above? OF het alle Patrollies dit?

Nee,nie almal het dit nie.Die maklikste om self te kyk is om te bepaal of daar sensors in die exhaust is en hoeveel.Die 4.8's wat dit het sal jy vind in die uitlaatspruitstuk.Daar sit twee langs mekaar.As hy verder af teen die pyp nog het,sal die cat-converter tussen daai sensors sit.Indien nie n tweede stel sensors nie, is daar ook nie n cat nie.Maw jy kan na n sensor die exhaust verander.
Die uni-chip (Uni-Q) kan natuurlik die lamda waardes onthou en dit so vir die ecu terugvoer.Met die metode kan jy die lamda met cat verloor en jou kar se ecu gelukkig hou sonder dat hy n fit kry.Maar dis iets vir later.(Cat's help met "Groen" en lamdas kyk of die cat sy werk reg doen.)
Groete

OK ... .dankie

Ek besef nou eers hoe min ek weet... maar sal leer.

Vanaf ek my Patrol gekoop het, het my tegniese kennis omtrent vertrippeld

Ons GQ lorries het DOG -Converters op en ons kan enige chips gebruik, Simba, Willards, Lays ens ens

This is only my experience. I run currently only a free flow with no chip on my 4.8GL. Get better fuel consumption and lots of extra torque at low refs.

The free flow will give you the best result. Don’t kill me now. Stay away from chipping. Kosie will only take your money. Had my 2.7i chipped (dry run on Patrol 4.8GL to install the chip) and watched the whole process. First dry run was done with lights and aircon on. Obviously got a bad kw figures because these items take away same of the kw. Installed the chip and did a lot of running and tuning. Final run was done without the lights and aircon on and the guy that was helping him, put on a glove and stopped the wiscus fan from running. The figures were great compared to the first run. Paid Kosie and off I went. I was very disappointed. My fuel consumption went done to 5.5km/l. No real deference in performance.
Plug out the chip and install the bridge plug and my fuel consumption went up to 6.9-7km/l. Took it back twice to rectify the tuning but just sent my blood pressure though the roof. Maybe if Frans do it, it might make a difference. Be warned, my brother in-law with his 4.5 EFI Toy had the same experience.
