Don’t settle for 1 or 2 dyno runs as this will not be a fair and accurate result. It is up to your skilled Dyno Tuning Professional to test the vehicle thoroughly and accurately. Automatic transmissions make dyno results hard to read as there is no ‘solid’ connection to the wheels like found in a manual transmission. Larger diameter tyres not only drastically effect fuel economy but also absorb power. There are many variables in the way a dyno calculates power and there are further variables such as tyre size and transmission type. Simply put to make figures comparative, given that the manufacturer only offers crankshaft power and DPCHIP measure only power at the wheels, DPCHIP have calculated wheel power back to a ‘comparative’ crankshaft power.īe sure you don’t confuse the figures you see here with what you achieve on a dyno. The engine power specifications listed here by DPCHIP are ‘converted or calculated’ figures and are to be used as a guide to the power gains you will get from installing a DPCHIP. These ‘Claimed’ manufacturers’ specifications are never checked or questioned by any Government authority or Independent group.
Good luck with your decision and please repost and let us know if / when you do fit one.Advertised STANDARD Power of 147kW yet the vehicle only achieves 105kW at the wheels on a dyno.įACT: - ALL ‘Claimed’ manufacturers engine power specifications are measured at the engines crankshaft. Whilst I have loved Nissans for a long time the loud pedal on the LC76 delivers like no Nissan I have owned.
I pull a camper trailer and do a bit of high country travelling as well as long distance touring and I am very happy with the power. These were done at different times and I could definitely notice the change on each occasion.
Two things that I have done that have shown a marked improvement in power is a Safari snorkel and the 3" exhaust - neither of which were put on to derive more power. His opinion is that he would only consider Steinbauer but unless there is a lack of performance or the vehicle is sluggish - why bother. Mine is just out of warranty (2011 model) so that didn't influence me but a discussion with my mechanic who drives a 78 series himself ultimately helped me to decide not to install one. Not specifically Steinbauer v DP but whether to fit one at all. Coincidentally I have the same vehicle as you and I have been exploring the whole chip question over the last few weeks.
