ORIGINAL: Jupiter Rover
How much power did you gain? Take the disco to the Dyno. I have been wanting the powerchip.. or RPI (too expensive). Since my rover is pretty much a trail rig, some weekend driving, I don''''t care about mpg. Just power. :)
I never Dyno it before the RPi or the Powerchip so the Hp numbers would not mean a lot.
Mileage has been the easiest way to track the changes and the first thing people want to know.
Driveability is better with both "Chips".
With a trail rig I would change the Diff gears that woud give you more than a stand alone chip would.
As I am more of a OverLander I wanted to keep my stock gears and increase the out put of the motor.
The Powerchip was a first step,,after playing with it for a year ao so I wanted more ,,cam lifters some
motor work, the stock ECU and the Powerchip would not have worked and would have gone in to limp
mode. To get everything work I had to get RPi re-mapping done.
The Rpi ECU setup will learn, I knew that I could get the ECU redone and then take my time with
the motor and once it is done everything will work together.
If you still want a Chip I think that for the money the Powerchip is hard to beat BUT if you live in a
area with Ethanol I would not get it.
At the time we had no ethanol where I live and when Powerchip called to find the setup of my
Disco that was not a issue,,talk to them and see if they can over come the ethanol if you have to
put up with it,, if not don''t buy.
