hiya guys, the chip is a super chip from super chip, over here it was £250 which i think is around $500 ish with exchange rates.

sabreuk

hiya mate, ye its diesel but the one to go for is the 3l rather than the 2.4. its averageing around 33 mpg at the min.
the 3l is more tourqueier than the 2.4 and got more bhp in standard guise.

bigt

i have family in england maybe i can get them to lookinto this chip..
do they have to open your ecu and pop it in?

your getting slightly better mpg than me

hiya mate, if you need parts for all types hilux and some good sites and info on the mighty hilux check these out.
www.roughtrax4x4.com
www.supertrux.com
www.hiluxsurf.co.uk
www.toyotasurf.asn.au

the last website is an online manual on everything for the lux from servicing to mods and how to do them with good roght ups and pics aswell, worth its weight in gold that one

sabreuk

yes mate, you can either send them an ecu or they will do on site takes about an hr to fit and bout hr to set up rollers, for you id get a cheapy one off eblag and post it across get it chipped and sent back then all you would have to do is get it fitted and rolling road tuned to set air fuel etc its a well good mod, not the cheapest but awesome, its a totaly different truck with it in, the 97bhp it had is nothing, you can actualy embaress boy racers at the lights with it.
of you need to know anyhting just ask mate and ill find out for you.

sabreuk

hey up guys heres some pics hopefully

bigt

ahahaha i wouldnt dare take my baby in that bog..

oh wow, i'm averaging 15 mpg out of my 22re. albiet the egr is throwing a code but still, 33 mpg would make up for high diesel prices here.
my 7.3 liter ford superduty made better mpg then my 22re

hiya mate, no its no micky mouse, its a man peeing on a land rover badge, we have a fair bit of rivalery over here with jap and land rover so its dig on them, on the back i have a sticker saying attach your stranded landrover here and an arrow pointing to the shackels, and on the rear window i have a sticker saying if you cant stop quick enough smile as you go underneath.

sabreuk

thanks mate, in all fareness the bog pic is quite mild compared to what it usualy goes through, i have some vids that i could post but not sure if you can post vids on here, i teach off roading aswell in the mighty lux so it kinda gets used as a guinipig to show peeps what 4x4s can do before they do it in there own

sabreuk

hiya mate, we have just had a major crisis over here with fuel, it reached £1.40 per litre where i live wich is about $2.80 ish for 1 litre, but the government has just dropped the tax on evry thing here from %17.5 to %15 which isnt to bad, but supermarkets have started a fuel war over here and dropped the price of petrol (gas) to £0.88 per ltr and diesel is now down to £0.99 which is $1.60 and $1.89 ish .

sa51

wow gas is averaging a $1.62 but diesel is a whopping $2.50something here.

i'm def. jealous lol

i wouldnt be to jealous mate you got better weather than us
diesel is uber expensive but its coming down rapidly here at the min which isnt bad its when the government decide to tax our ass with something new. over here motorists get hammered big time and they have put road tax up from £180 per year to £400 per year for any 4x4 made after 2001 i think it is, not sure if you guys have to tax your trucks and cars over here but here you need road tax, insurance, and m.o.t.
m.o.t is a yearly vehicle safety check which cost £50 for the test and then you got parts and labour if it fails on anything

sa51

some states here have inspections similar to your m.o.t

florida doesnt, but my home state of new hampshire does.

they always find some way to tax your hard earned dollars dont they?

i think all states here require insurance now, and as for road tax i think thats included in our gas prices.
i saw something about it when i was researching running diesel on used veggie oil, and how its not technically legal because they hasnt found a way to tax it yet.

we had a similar problem here with veg oil but when the fuel prices went up so did veg oil it was nearly as expensive as diesel at one point, i found my surf doesnt like veg oil at all, and neither do the fuel filters, the previous owner of the lux ran it on veg and its taken ages to get all the chip fat out of the tank and lines etc, and i had to refurb the injectors as they where blocked and clogged up with it
