| I can't speak for all "chips" or "power modules" but a vast majority of them make power by increasing fuel pressure. Injector problems are the result but as you mentioned, worst case scenerio is a hole in the piston due to excessive heat. Steinbauer apparently is able to fool the computer to adjust more then just rail pressure and I'm sure there is someone here who can describe how they work better then I can. Your sprayer injector problem may or may not have been caused by the chip, but it's safe to say that by raising rail pressure beyond oem specs, things will wear out quicker. A good programming tune does not alter any values beyond oem specs (ie. if you want a 9530 programmed to 9630 specs then rail pressure along with injection timing + a few other variables will be exactly at 9630 OEM specs). Programming makes it possible to tailor make the upgrade to suit your needs, or if you prefer you can purchase your own hand held programmer which stores several different tunes allowing you to program your ecm for the power needs of the day. This is pretty popular with the large frame tractors since they don't need huge power for every job, but a couple times a year its nice to have 550 or 600 hp. In the event you want your tractor returned to stock its just a matter of hooking up to the diagnostic port inside the cab and pressing a few buttons. Very common in the pickup truck tuning world. Your choice depends on your needs. Check out the options and which one suits your needs the best. Just be careful of the inexpensive products because in my view, the old saying still holds true. You get what you pay for. | |
