Wud any1 advice me on installing racechip on yur tdci engine? Racechip.de?

Pls any1 outhere have been using racechip for there ford ranger 3.0tdci? I need yur comment since I'm ready to order it

i have a TDCi 3.0 ranger and i wont install that in mines - first of all; it will void your warranty , second - interfering with the ECU will throw off your mileage , 3rd - why the hell you want to go faster in a pickup truck? The 3.0 Ranger will easily do 180KPH on the highway.
To me it ent worth it dude. But i guess to each his own.

hold up there civic...yuh lil wrong there...

it WILL NOT void yuh warranty unless you leave it in and send it to service..it is very easy to install and remove... it DOES NOT interfere with the ECU look at where it jacks in nah.... and thirdly its not about overall top end on a van... its about increasing available power across the board...acceleration/towing ability/torque/horsepower/top end are all affected positively..

so Hamm88 i say if is dat yuh want go fuh it...just be responsible with your new found power....

check out the spider chip as well
(just remember and point and laugh when you pass other trucks. it's what i'll do)

^^^ installing piggybacks and whatnot willbe worthless with trinidad's sheit diesel.
You'll get lots of smoke due to the richer mixture but low quality diesel..

It's been done with other trucks and there have been power upgrades, but terrible smoking from the tailpipe.

^^^ saw this happen in a hilux! i ent go liee! d ting was movingg!!!! but rell smoke!! fist time i see a auto hilux pull off on d line and get relll tyress!!!

I drove a chipped vigo a couple times, (came chipped), and it still feels sluggish. Granted it was from Japan motors and has real extra weight in accessories...

Hamm88.. I say go for it...

.... then you can let us know YOUR experience. I dont know anyone thats done it on the ranger.

^^ i think Ironman did it to his thunder.

I've been reading around on the www.nissan-navara.net forums.

Apparently with a chipped truck, you'll definitely get power upgrades, and better acceleration.

However, remember again that we have low-grade diesel, I believe it's lower than EURO-3 spec. Our diesel is more suited for heavy industry and marine diesel engines, as well as heavy trucks/machinery. It's not really suited for higher-performance engines like in our Rangers, Hilux, Nav's and L200's.

Hence you will probably end up getting smoke from the richer fuel mixture due to the aggressive fuel mapping on these piggy-back chips. Normally the DPF's in our modern trucks are supposed to handle the excess soot but with richer fuel and more unburnt hydrocarbons, smoke will definitely be an issue.


One workaround for this problem, at least for Navara's, is to reset the ECU and allow it to recalibrate the oxygen content of the air-fuel mixture according to how much more fuel you're allowing in. Hence with more oxygen coming in, you get more complete and cleaner detonation even with more fuel - hence theoretically less smoke. From the navara owners in the UK experience, it seems to work. My only concern again is our shyetty diesel.


If you want to reset ur ECU - simply disconnect both battery leads, turn the ignition to ON, pump ur brakes at least 5 times and then touch the two terminals together to remove all residual charge (don't worry, by turning on the ignition and pumping the brakes, you discharge all electricity in the electronics).

This resets all electronic soft-memory in your truck, including the radio, trip meter and the ECU's fuel maps that it learned according to your driving patterns. The ECU then goes back into learning-mode, as if the truck was brand new. (NOTE: this only works for the TDCi Ranger, not the WLT-engine. That engine has no ECU).

Then reconnect the terminals and then start-up and drive the vehicle easy for a few miles. The chip will give its inputs for fuel supply and the ECU will relearn accordingly.

Hopefully that would so

Maybe my Ranger will see an increase in fuel economy if it 'forgets' how I drive!

any update Ham88? looking for a chip for a ranger as well

idk why when u ask a question people can't answer the question instead of questioning a question. the man want a race chip he didn ask if it was wise to cross 180 in a van

I have a chip for the 3.0 ranger to sell p.m. if interested

Once you're putting a chip in your truck make sure and put in a k&n air filter it would help increase the performance . My nav accelerates really nice and even better with the chip installed but I ain't looking to go over the speed limit too much (even tho with a flick of the ankles and I'm hitting the 170km/h limiter effortlessly).
