if the engine was under 100% load day in and day out then yes it may shorten your engine life but not by as much as you think. washing oil of bores is from over fueling is a bit of a urban myth, any oil left in the bore above the oil ring will be washed or burnt of anyway in any engine.if oil was left in the bore above the oil ring then the oil ring is worn and may lead to glazed bores.Ī chip will give you way more bang for you bucks over an exhaust only, chips change the driving characteristics noticeably throughout the rev range.Ĭhips in most cases don't make an engine any less reliable, for starters manufacturers will not make an engine that is that close to it's reliability limits and secondly you may only use the maximum total power gain for less than 1% of your driving. Your mates who are mechanics may be living in the dark ages. Saturday, at 08:00Yes chips will over fuel at some point but not really a concern. If someone chips a vehicle it doesn't worry me but the harsh realities are as above. No one will no if it will fail in the future as he sold it yesterday. I said to him it will only do that for so long if you use that power. The sons BT 50 was used for R&D and goes like the clappers. Now there are 3 in the equation so I wish him luck.Ībout 6 months ago my sons boss who develops and markets chips Australia and worldwide pushed his TD 100 landcruiser a tad to far on his dyno when doing R&D. If he gets it repaired by either the dealer or steinbauer then good on him. There is also the fact that he bores showered signs of being washed and the end result was no warranty be the vehicle manufacturer. Then they are going to say, we did not design the engine to be modified. The first thing the manufacturer will say is the chip has placed extra strain on the injector and that is why it failed.
Olcoolone I have come to no conclusions but I have printed what I read.
Saturday, at 09:10Mick it was a steinbauer chip and I can't remember what forum it was on.
