DYNO TUNING - RANGER RAPTOR

[@thealterator]

massive numbers from the chip. My raptor isn't towing yet BUT will make sure to check this mob out when i do.

[@RoundTheFire]

She is even more fun without anything hooked on 😎👍🏻

[@positivepete4265]

I notice your rear sags when youre out and about. Is it the roof rack or mainly the tray weight, and does the chip extra power help?

[@RoundTheFire]

Yes the raptor says at the rear when added weight sags a bit. I’ve added air bags now to make the truck sit level

[@positivepete4265]

@@RoundTheFire nice.

[@davidthompson882]

Still loving the vids here in brexitania mate, interesting to see how much better it performs compared to the chipping box

[@LesBatchelor]

Great review, thanks. I have been lookin to chip my Raptor, I wont hesitate to go to Berrimah Diesel.

[@damianm3179]

Thanks for the video Damo. Thought I’d give you a heads up, seeing as you’ve given me plenty of info in the past, Safari have an Armax high flow snorkel in development for the Raptor (in the past you’ve mentioned you’re not a fan of the steel ones - neither am I). Just submitted a query on their website and they advised they should have photos up on social media in 2 or 3 weeks. Finally!!

[@RoundTheFire]

I hope so mate, it may be a little late for me now I’ve had to install a steel one for the Cape York trip we have just finished filming. Safari have been telling me they will have a snorkel ready in 8 weeks for the last 8 months...🤔

[@damianm3179]

No worries good to know, look forward to the review on the steel one!

[@thealterator]

Mate, would love to know more about your tub rack. Ive been shopping around and what you have is pretty much what I'm keen for. I love the look of the 'OzRoo' racks but they're a bit long for my taste. Any details on where to get more detail would be awesome, thanks.

[@RoundTheFire]

Mine is the Oz Roo rack 👍🏻 I just cut off the section that had the lights fitted and mounted it backwards to hide the cut. You can get them in 3 different lengths. I orders the 950mm length so it sat nice and short and give it a bit of a different look 👍🏻

[@thealterator]

@@RoundTheFire brilliant mate, thanks. You're content and replies are invaluable, especially to newbies like me trying to get I to the 4x4 camping game.

[@RoundTheFire]

Thanks mate, it’s nice to know people are getting some benefit from the content 😎 new or old we can always learn something. The name of the game is to get out, unplug and make some memories 👍🏻🔥

[@gregwalker5654]

Another great video . Keep them coming mate.

[@RoundTheFire]

Thanks Greg 👍🏻

[@hazzamate1247]

Love your work boss, cheers for a good insight 🤙

[@RoundTheFire]

Thanks mate 👍🏻

[@brettmurphy2917]

Nice to see this sort of Video. I saw you got a Mongrel Offroad Hidden winch. I'd love to hear your opinion on that and how it was installed also.

[@RoundTheFire]

Winch install video will be coming soon 👍🏻

[@tedays100]

Yeah like it bro,ranger raptor its the best selling model

[@henrizzays]

Great video

[@adambtfiddy9]

I just took mine off and sold it after owning it for approx 6 weeks. I didn't have anything wrong with it as such just wanted more than an 7 rwkw gain and minor torque increase (which is what we tested it as). I'm also not sure increasing fuel pressure is the best way to go about it. But im sure they are still good unit for the ease of unplug for warranty purposes as mentioned.

[@himynameismat09]

did you have a custom tune done?

[@mikehayes77]

Hey Damo, love your vids. Watching them convinced me to buy the Raptor (arrives end of this month). I just spoke to Berrima Diesel (they are very helpful). I am keen to know, did you consider Unichip before going with DPchip? If so what tipped you towards DP? Thanks and keep the vids coming!

[@RoundTheFire]

G’day mike, yes I did look at all the available chips at the time. The main reason I went with DP chip at the end of the day was Berrima Diesel is the distributor of the product with a VERY long and good reputation in the Diesel industry which gave me confidence they weren’t a pop up seller. Also the DP Chip is German manufacturing which ticked the final box 👍🏻

[@philipw7557]

Another good video Damo. Has your fuel economy got any better. 👍😎🇳🇿

[@RoundTheFire]

Funny enough it runs 1L/100 better than stock...? Which technically shouldn’t happen 🤔

[@Excalabur50]

Cheers Damo!

[@RoundTheFire]

Thanks mate, legend being here from the beginning 💪🏻😎🇦🇺

[@Excalabur50]

@@RoundTheFire 👍👍

[@jamesop22]

These chips just trick your ecu into increasing the fuel rail pressure. A proper ecu remap is a far better option imo.

[@RoundTheFire]

Proper ecu tune is certainly better than a chip. However the Raptor has 3 ECUs and no one has been able to crack the code to tune them.

[@lorka111]

Hello from Poland. First of all I Appreciate your service! Watching closely your clips I find it usefull snd practical. One thing is certain - this engine needs tune. And as DP Chip is a king of a Jungle in AUS climate I would like to kindly ask you to ask the question to DP about the climate impact on the device. Iwould like to buy this for my Ranger but I am a bit worrying about the module pertofmamce in much colder climate. Appreciate your support.

[@RoundTheFire]

Hi mate, thank you very much 😎 you will have no problems with the DP Chip in Poland. The DP Chips are German manufactured and the electronics are rated for -40deg Celsius up to +120deg Celsius. I have the DP Chip available on my website www.roundthefire.store and have shipped many to Europe already 👍🏻

[@lorka111]

@@RoundTheFire good to hear you ship to Europe. My question regarding the climate was about the air/fuel ratio that in colder climate is a bit different vs hot as is AUS. Another one is about number of parameters of the piggyback: I saw one connector in y our insall video - does is alter boost pressure only or other parameters as well (i.e. injector timing)? I know these are details but I recon the important ones.

[@RoundTheFire]

It also snows here in Australia…no problems with the chip 👍🏻

[@VinCent542]

How does it work when you put it into sports mode ?

[@tankp8833]

So was it tuned or is that all DP chip?

[@bhaveshkumar1206]

How long have you had the chip for and if you've encountered any issues?

[@RoundTheFire]

Almost 2 1/2 years now. No issues

[@evolverc1822]

How much difference did it feel once dyno tuned with dp chip and throttle response when you drive it is what I wanna know great videos mate just subscribed 💪💪💪

[@RoundTheFire]

Thanks mate. The Chips come pre tuned ready to roll no need to get the truck on the dyno. this video is just showing the live actual results of stock vs chip. The chip brings up your torque (more grunt for towing and pulling on inclines) the plug-n-go throttle controller gives the snappy response to the throttle, way more than what putting the truck into sports or Baja mode can do, I can certainly notice the difference once its fitted. Keep in mind the chip will make the truck quicker but not sports car fast...but it feels good for a truck that is fairly close to 3 Ton when loaded.

[@evolverc1822]

@@RoundTheFire thanks for your reply mate much appreciated I took one for test drive but she felt like she needed more torque on the low end which is what we want in a 4wd cheers mate 👍👍👍

[@RoundTheFire]

@@evolverc1822 I agree mate, when I first drove one I did the exact same thing you are doing now. First mod i made was a Chip when the truck was only 300/Ks old. Makes it feel more RAPTOR, probably how they should have been tuned out of the box in the first place.

[@evolverc1822]

@@RoundTheFire ok awesome yeah I'm waiting for the 2021 model there saying around March as they have more shipments coming in December but there the last stock of 2020 model which was delayed from covid I may still get the 2020 model I asked the dealer if there's any difference between the two he said no but he could be just saying that so I buy the 2020 model and I guess it comes down to how much they drop the price too

[@RoundTheFire]

Sounds like a good move mate 👍🏻 from what I can gather the MY20.75 Models are coming with the new Ford Pass App which “should” be basically the upgrades for the Ozzy 2021 models. The US release for 2021 is getting a different 2.3L motor and a sun roof.

[@MichaelJones-tj5rs]

Can you explain the following: How come the stock run showed 595nm at the wheels, but the manufacturer states 500nm at the fly? I would have thought the stock run at the wheels would have been less than 500nm at the fly.

[@oldbloke100]

Because of gearing. Gearbox and diff ratio's

[@jam1edarlington]

Hey mate 👋 a few keen raptor owners have started a group on FB called Raptor Community Qld with the intentions of group meetings and general help and advice and I wondered if you would be interested to join I recon you would be a great have you in the community as I have seen all your KZbin videos great work. I am just off Bribie Island

[@RoundTheFire]

G’day Jamie, Great Idea mate 👍🏻 I would be happy to join in thanks for the invite 😎 I don’t currently use FB, only Instagram and KZbin right now give me a bit to get it sorted and I’ll see you guys over on the page 👌🏼🇦🇺🍺

[@longjonsilvers802]

Do you need to retune the truck when you plug in the DPchip?

[@RoundTheFire]

Not at all. The tune is built in to the chip. Also if you unplug the chip your Truck will immediately back to factory tune.
