RANGER RAPTOR - 185kW DP POWER CHIP INSTALL 

Champion! Hopefully the 6 weeks goes quick👍🏻🍺

😂 cheers mate! I used to live in BKK a few years back too, very cool country to be in. That price is pretty much on par with how much they are in Australia + around another $8KAUD for on roads costs. You would hope the warranty would be easier in Thailand I’m pretty sure they are made there 😳 heaps of cool accessories already available in Thailand 🤙🏻

Good dealer, should not be an issue..

More videos uploaded 👍🏻

Thank You 👍🏻, IMO I think my Ute drives and performs more like the RAPTOR everyone was expecting to get from the showroom floor. I’m VERY happy so far.

Video is now live 👍🏻

Thank you very much!

Thanks mate, I haven’t really tried for top speed. I’m mostly chasing the torque gains from installing this chip 👌🏼

Thanks Mate 👍🏻

G’day mate, I actually was intending to get an XLT 3.2L originally as I feel like that was the best bang for your buck in terms of payload and not being too concerned about keeping an eye on the kids as they get in and out making the shiny interior a mess. The hardest decision I had to make about choosing the 2.0L over the 3.2L was there wasn’t at the time, much real world information about the 2.0. After owning the 2.0L now for 18 months I think the real benefits of it over the 3.2L is the 10 speed gearbox, the extra 4 gears allows the engine run at a fairly low stress range in terms of RPM and that produces good results (for me at least) as far as fuel economy goes. A huge benefit of the Raptor vs Wildtrack is the ride quality on and off road given the all round coil suspension. They are both very good looking trucks, if you are planning on kitting your truck out more traditional looking with bar work and canopy the a leaf sprung is probably the way I would go. If you can think light weight set up then coils are well worth it. Hope that helps 👍🏻

@@RoundTheFire Mate, thats great...thks for all the info and the vids...I'm looking at swapping from a Jeep Wrangler Rubicon in August and the Raptor is looking like a great option ....cheers

@@rayzerstayzer1947 definitely a fair bit more room to carry gear in the Raptor mate. You won't be disappointed. The Raptor will do a better job pulling your trailer. I Changed out from a 150 series Prado to the Raptor and am very happy.

You won’t be disappointed mate 👍🏻

Hi Alex, any feedback on the DPChip in your Everest? I'm thinking about getting one myself.

@@RD-ni7qe Ive had it for about a year now and no complaints at all. Still performing like it should!

Cheers Thank you 👍🏻, my over all fuel consumption has gone down a fair bit. I definitely notice that I’m using the first third of the throttle only. I’ve just finished a 800k round trip camping towing a 1.4T trailer and my fuel average was at 12L/100, video on that coming soon 👍🏻

It won't increase your towing weight as those figures are set by the manufacturer regardless of power mods, I certainly feel it makes the job easier.

Gday Mate, There are 3 settings pre programmed into the throttle controller, Sport +, Sport and Off Road/ECo. A single button cycles between the pre programmed settings, I found the Sport + mode works best for me, makes driving easier. Basically I have just been using the 1 setting for ON and OFF road, no need to continually adjust the controller, set and forget. The biggest difference I've noticed is that i never use Sport mode in the Raptors terrain modes anymore keeping the revs way down and fuel economy low.

Can do mate 👍🏻

G’day Shane, congratulations on the new truck mate 😎 the chip itself won’t remap the gearbox, however the gearbox has an adaptive feature and will adjust its shifting accordingly. Keep in mind that 1st and 2nd gear in the Raptors 10 speed box are actually a lower ratio than 1st gear in a normal 6 speed box. From memory I think the Raptors 3rd is the closest gear to a standard 1st gear. What I’ve found is after installing the chip I no longer use sports mode which by design keeps the engine in a higher rev range. I simply take advantage of the extra Kw and torque provided by the chip with the relaxed driving feel of normal mode. 👍🏻

Round The Fire Thanks Damo, I had the last 3.2 remapped and it was a different truck! 180kw and 620nm. A much torquier lazy motor than the 2.0 and in my opinion better suited to my driving style than the Raptor, I think 8 gears wold have been plenty but Ford don’t have that box. I have just purchased the Ngauge with the 10 speed remap they do which speeds up the shifts, increases the torque between changes and forces the box to use all gears instead of revving it’s nut off to shift from 1st to 3rd to 5th. I will let you all know how it goes it’s from BPT Motorsport in WA. Cheers and thanks for you input in all your vids mate👍

Yep that's the one mate.

Gday Steve, 1KW = 1.34HP and 1Nm = 0.74ft-lb

Cheers mate 👍🏻

Gday mate, I’m having a hard time editing the video together but it’s coming. Without spoiling the next video if you were looking for a drag Ute, this isn’t the way to go, but well worth it for Towing and Fuel economy.

New video is now live

@@RoundTheFire 👍👍

Exactly right, there is a DP CHIP for the Wildtrack, Available on our website www.roundthefire.store

I did take the Rig out with only the chip in when I first installed it. It was noticeably better but I found myself still wanting to select sport mode to get that little bit extra. Without a doubt the chip combined with the throttle controller really gives the Raptor the bite I think it was lacking from the show room. I would HIGHLY recommend installing both together, you won't be disappointed...I got mine in a bundle package so the throttle controller was free.

@@RoundTheFire yeah I noticed there was a Christmas bundle for both through DP Chip directly... perhaps they'll offer the same promotion at Easter time... only just picked up my ranger last Friday.

Congrats on the new truck mate!! Get out there and enjoy it, if you are in the Brizzy area I know a ton of great tracks.

@@RoundTheFire cheers mate... im on the Gold Coast, but am clueless when it comes to off road tracks.

Hey mate... how you travelling with the performance review video? Been checking daily for updates 😁 Cheers

Henri how are you mate, yes I’ll definitely be adding a new DP Chip to the 2020 Raptor. In fact it has already arrived at my house and will be doing a new install video on that shortly. The main benefit for me is the extra Torque for towing and it never hurts to have the extra grunt when needed. They are a little bit pricey but you will appreciate it once you are loaded up for a trip. 👍🏻🇦🇺

@@RoundTheFire and how about the speed sir, does it add more speed, assuming this raptor has a max. Speed of about 180km/h, if you installed the dp chip, then how much that would increase then.

Cheers Mate, working on that now.

Gday David, This particular DP Chip should suit any of the Ford 10 speed, 2Lt Bi-Turbo models. Certainly worth the investment IMO.

Right on. 👍

You’re welcome mate 👍🏻🇦🇺

Gday Nath, Mate after I put the chip in I generally don’t use anything other than normal mode. TBH I think the throttle controller made the biggest difference for day to day and around town driving 👍🏻

G’day mate. I installed this chip when the engine was only 300ks old. From 300-3000ks the fuel use was 1L/100ks better than stock?? From 3000-25000ks I’m running 1L/100ks over stock.

It should be the same? I’ve had a look at the Berrimah Diesel site where I got mine from and they do list the PX3 Ranger 2.0L, 10speed as a seperate item...? I wouldn’t imagine the fitting would be any different, I think the main difference between the PX3 2.0L and the Raptor 2.0L is the amount of shift patterns built into the computer. Best bet would be to call wherever you are looking at getting one from and check with them 👍🏻

Round The Fire Thanks for the feed back Bro. I’ll suss it out !! 👍🏻😁

Gday Mate, The place where I’ve bought the chip from offers full warranty on driveline and engine for the duration of the new car warranty. In my case for the next 5 year and unlimited K’s. There is an interesting debate going on in the 4x4 world in Australia right now regarding new car warranty and if a dealer can void your warranty from doing very simple mods like Bullbars, side steps, roofracks, dual battery systems, things that just about every 4x4 owner does without much thought.

G’day Dan, I’m very happy with the chip, I initially installed the chip when the engine was 300ks old. Now I’m at the 15000k mark with zero issues. Performance wise, I’ve found the chip comes with a fairly mild tune installed from factory (you have the ability to manually bump it up if you wish). Out of the box the chip is certainly wild enough that you can notice the difference straight away but it’s not trying to ring the neck out of the engine which I would have to say is the feature I love the most.

Round The Fire nice mate. So how much have you bumped it up from the setting it was on when you got it? I just ordered one today. Cheers.

Mate, I have left the settings on the chip alone and just run it as it has come out of the box. I’ve actually wound down the throttle controller to the middle setting and down to 3 orange lights. Seems to bring the power on nicely rather than wanting to launch itself off at every set of lights.

I’ve had guys write to me saying they have bumped the chip up to max output and say it’s wild. Personally my main reason for the chip was the torque gains for towing 👍🏻

It is literally that easy to install. No camera tricks. I honestly believe it a reasonable/reliable/mature tune up without compromising the ECU integrity or coming close to the engines max capability.

Gday mate, the main reason I went with the DP chip over an ECU tune is because 6 months ago when I installed this unit there wasn’t a tuner in the land that could crack the ECU codes on a Raptor, Also I liked the ability to simply disconnect the DP chip if there was any problem with it and send the unit away for repair or replacement rather than have to go back to the same tuner to work out the bugs 👍🏻

GDay Mate, Thanks for watching. Your DP Chip will come pre programmed from the factory with the best settings as the default, there shouldn't be any need to adjust it, that is why they are so simple. Have you have changed your factory intercooler, turbo or exhaust to an aftermarket product? This would really be the only time you would need to adjust the settings.

Round The Fire getting a full exhaust system does it affect the tuning?

If you upgrade your exhaust it will allow better flow for the exhaust gasses. Giving you more power. It won’t affect the tuning as such but it would certainly allow you the option to tune up the chip if you wanted to.

Round The Fire nice... one more thing i dont have the truck info on my ranger ranger raptor, not an issue for me but, others my friend they have the truck info, no idea how i can activate or install the truck info on my rig. Any idea?

@@almahdieddun9688 Its not possible so far to tune the ECU, no one has cracked the code yet.

You can if you like, once you unplug it there is no trace it was ever on there. Not much point for me since I posted this on the internet 👍🏻😎🍺🇦🇺

Sure is mate 👍🏻 www.berrimadiesel.com/ford-ranger-raptor-px3-2.0l-twin-turbo-diesel-10-speed-auto

@@stuartronneberg9862 Thanks Mate...It took 2 years later but you can now buy these Chips from our website. www.roundthefire.store

That’s exactly right mate, if the shop you are going to get a tune from can’t offer a warranty on their product. Is Probably a good idea to keep shopping around. 👍🏻

Vũ Nguyễn it's big risk having one of these. But the wiser would say this is reversible in the event of a warranty claim. However people don't realize these are traceable via dealer level scan computers. Just buy the car that you're happy with it's power from the factory. Not worth spending hundreds and then making a mess of the engine because you're chasing power.

Probably. 600nm is a mountain of torque.

Might effect the longevity hence the ‘safe working loads ‘ manufacturers build in. The tune won’t affect us first owners of the vehicles.

G'day Mustafa, The tune is already installed into the chip. If this chip wasn't going onto a raptor for example and you decided latter to add a bigger exhaust, turbo or intercooler to your vehicle you can adjust or "tune" the chip to suit these changes. hope that makes sense.

Germany

Gday Ross, try these guys. www.berrimadiesel.com/index.php?route=product/search&search=Holden%20Colorado%20&description=true

Thanks mate. The best part about installing a DP Chip vs anything else is that DP Chip warrant your engine and drive line for the remainder of your new car warranty...in my case I’ve had the chip on for 12 months so I’ve still got another 4 years worth of cover 🍺🤙🏼

Pretty sure I mentioned that in the video at @4.35?? 🤔

@@RoundTheFire Yeah, I just know Ford can be total pricks when it comes to warranty from experience. They will try to use it for every little thing.

Hieu Nguyen haha? then you apoligise? inform? comparing apples with oranges little buddy. How did she ride? your old 3.2? because nobody gives 2 fucks what your old this or that had or does. fuckboi

All diesels are hopeless. A LS swap will fix the truck

@@stevefractalhilly6245 actually there are some who gives a shit. I also have a 2016 wildtrack and i find the new raptor just a sticker with some tweaks. The raptor should be also about engine performance, not just the suspension tuning. Ranger raptor should be the ideal vehicle for us the performance truck enthusiasts, but with the 2l engine......being left in dust by far by the amarok and the new mercedes X v6......no thank you. I'd rather import the real raptor or the US petrol powered ranger.

@@octavianc Just some tweaks? Then yo obviously have no idea about the build of the Raptor. I ordered a raptor, but knowing the Amarok and Merc are quicker did not phase me one little bit nor do I give 2 shits. I bought my Raptor for my own personal reasons. Besides, all these knockers talk about the lack of horsepower by the Raptor, 99% of you cant drive for shit anyhow so why do you need the big horses? I thought I might add that I have been involved in motorsport for 27 years before just recently retiring from the sport. From what I see on the roads today, 50% of drivers should not have a car with more than 50kw, 40% should never own a driving licence and the rest, 10% are ok.

@@powderskier5547 speaking from ur 27 years experience all the sudden made you an expert. Ill out drive u any day. Go back to ur go cart racing old man.

Thanks for watching 🤙🏻

Is yours unreliable? or are you speculating-

steve hill sorry late reply I work on these cars for a living and reliability on all ford products is an issue !

Only one plug point. Follow the common rail all the way to the back. That the plug. Disconnect it, plug the chip into those 2 ends

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

That’s exactly what I think about gym memberships. 🍺

Like everyone else and his tradie mate? No thanks, not over a Raptor. . Toyotas are cars for people who know nothing about cars. The default choice for the average Joe who cares nought about style.

@@petersteele4347 raptor over 70 series toyo lmao clearly no idea or more like never been bush in his life or 4x4 touring.. another city soccer mum

Lol

I'll pit my Raptor vs your Toyota any day

@@b0wen11 then with that dumb comment u really are a tool lmao that car of urs couldnt go were i take my 79 truck.. ud be winching all day from my rear winch lmao stupid comment enjoy ostrich boy
