My motorhome is a Transit 04 2.4 TDCI with 125ps i noted that EVO CHIPS (in which we are a dealer) quotes 30bhp more and 20% better fuel economy will this in anyway waer the engine at all, as it has to be as reliable as can be, its only done 13500 miles but dont want premature wear, i see it will put out nearly 155ps

Whats your thoughts guys & gals?

 

do it Phil i chipped my 08 plate 115 jumbo after 10k, the fuel saving is superb the van has just passed 96k and still goes very well

 

I guess you have to drive it sensibly though, i assume if driving briskly fuel consumption takes a big dive?

 

Ah now I see. There was me thinking you'd gone off dogs and onto post-op's.

 

Nah just dogs and a transit.

 

not really mate, it does really well when i first got the thing the comp was saying 390miles to a full tank after 10k and it being chipped the comp now says 547miles to a tank no difference in driving style, BUT if i do want to trap on and sit above the speed limit every now and then it drops to 497miles to a tank. So its totally worth chipping it mate(blufin) on mine

 

How much was the blufin chap and did u just plug n play or Rollin road it?

 

wheres your garage Phil?

 

£370

 

Phil, surely if your a dealer for EVO chips you should know this kind of info yourself and be able to offer it rather than asking on internet forums??

Or have I missed something? Sorry if I have!

 

Ive got a 280 02 reg 2.0 tranny Can this be chipped?

 

after reading your reports i would be intrested in doing this to mine. which would be the best chip to put on. where from and roughly how much ?
thanks

 

Considering doing mine actually
i have a 06 plate 115ps jumbo, need to know what's the BEST chipping option

 

may as well join the bandwagon
i have a 53 plate t280 where do i get one!!!!!!

 

Hi my family company is the evo chips dealer hence why i said "we" BUT i dont work there as i have my own company to run...so not up on these things..although with the help of Kenny i used the equipment to do my TT

 

As the engine will see more load during times of full throttle, it will experience more wear too during those times (but not the rest of the time), but it shouldnt be to any significant extent.

The MPG claims tend to be a bit excessive on most aftermarket chips anyone saying "up to" generally means "significantly less than"

I think you should do it, as there is no significant downside really and the extra power would be useful on hills im sure in quite a heavy vehicle like that.

 

...its quite quick as it is tbh, but we do alot of mountain work so she struggles a little up hills that are 1 in 3 lol the main thing that appeals is the better fuel consumption.

 

ive got the 05' 90 t280. whatever that means lol. its the 115ps. its gutless and i get about 400 miles to a tank.
andy T talking about his pretty much sold it as within a month or so it would have paid for itself.

 

why did that go purple

 

Enhanced Performance in Sussex does this type of remapping on vans and diesel cars with great results apparently. They do it differently though - instead of replacing the chip they give it a diagnostic check I think then as long as the engine is running right they re-write the existing ECU with different settings - also producing more power and better economy. I think they charge around £300. And the original map can be put back at any time if for some reason the customer isn't happy.

A mate of mind had his wife's diesel Mercedes done which upped the HP a lot. He was pissed off that his wife never noticed even though he reckoned it was a lot faster.

Mate evochips would be the best choice imho, we do a full diagnostic check first before the remap, every evochips dealer should apparently. (mind u when diyed my tt i didnt bother at first as i dont do them and the bloke who does was out, it was only kenny at msd telling me off that i did !!

 

i cant find anything on google about 'enhanced performace'

 

might be worth looking into as my transit drinks lol

i did a my old transit (120ps) 2000 on x reg at 90,000 miles and went on to 190,0000 before it started to get noisy,,plus it prob had done more miles than that!

 

If you look on the transitforum,org there is a guy who will remap most vans hes called martynx he is also a site sponser as vantuner(which is his company name), he has had great feedback from the guys that have used him, I think he also does a Imap unit which is similar to a bluefin if i remember rightly.

 

The 90 part in the van details means that it's a 90ps not 115ps.
