I have one of them funky dr drift chips. I dont have that many mods but he always seemed quite confident that if I ever did go to town on it he could retune it to suit.

Attached dyno sheet. Notice the afrs, and the general smoothness of the curve.

A/F ratios are probly the biggest advantage of a Dr Drift chip. I want to get a before and after sheet coz mine are so farked its not funny.

There are many advantages for using a chipped standard ECU over a complete aftermarket ECU. For starters, you already have the expensive pieces of hardware; the wiring loom and engine management system itself. They may not have the real-time tuning functionality of an aftermarket item; however for the fraction of the price you really cannot beat them.

I have used Sam (Dr. Drift) several times and have to say I am nothing but impressed.

Not to mention, the great advantages of factory style cold start, idle, a/c, etc.

This is good if your ecu is able to be chipped, but the amount of tunners are highly limited. (ie: Sam is going interstate to tune customer's ecu's)

This limited amount of tunners, may lead to higher prices per tune, not sure though, so please no flaming :D.

    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
