T31 Diesel Performance Chip
Hi Guys,
Was looking at ways to give the diesel T31 exy a bit more power and torque, especially the auto as it is missing-out on a bit of power and torque compared to the manual T31 diesel version.
I have come across the DPCHIP which seems to fit the bill perfectly in terms of proven power gains and better fuel consumption. Well, I say proven, based on the feedback available on this website and the dyno charts provided.
They also seem to have developed or using the power chip that was used for the Navara diesel for the T31 diesel exy, as it is listed on the same page HERE
Normally, I wouldn't advertise a business on our website, but since the diesel is pretty new to us, I thought it'll be good and a bit exciting to start exploring the performance modifications side of things and see what we come-up with.
I have no relation with this company at all, but will be prepared to help you guys out if any "formal" type of communication and contact will be required where I can approach the company using the forum name and influence.

Re: T31 Diesel Performance Chip
Nath,
In regards to the 2 points you raised.
1. The chip is plug & play type which must be removed before taking the car for servicing while under warranty and they advertise that it can simply be unplugged for that purpose.
2. The fuel saving will NOT come in a form of fuel consumption reduction. If the car will consume exactly the same amount of fuel while having extra power, this means you're saving fuel. Just like it is the case with the piggy back ECU I fitted on my T30.

Re: T31 Diesel Performance Chip
Guys,
One of the sales guys I spoke to today said you could put a bigger turbo in for speed racers like me. Don't know if it is a real thing or even possible, as I'm sure he could tell I know next to nothing about cars, I'm just the servo chick.

Re: T31 Diesel Performance Chip
Hi Meg,
I don't think I would go playing with or replacing the turbo on the diesel Xtrail as I thought it was a special variable vane type which aids in the increased torque & power at low revs.

Re: T31 Diesel Performance Chip
Did you manage to persuade your dad to borrow the chip?
