a power box?

enlighten me please!

commonly called a superchip ups you bhp and helps with mpg etc

i have a 2.5dse manual will a power box work on mine and were do i get one from thanks

just found rimmer bros for the power box price to steep for me i will stick with a slower rr sounds a good bit of kit tho

mines a manual 2.5 dse wouldnt say there sluggish maybe u have a boost pipe off were u from mate i cud have a looksee

136bhp for the 2.5 doozel, 192 bhp for the petrol 4.0 v8 and 220 bhp for the 4.6 (i think), wonder why its slow!!!

maybe it needs an Italian tune up

im from middlesbrough

just been out for another drive my average mpg is 14.2 ?????? 14.2 that cant be right surely!!!!

Sounds like a dud to me. I think it may need some attention. I bet the intercooler has never been cleaned out.

hi,your diesel p38 will never be a flying machine,you need a psi powerbox as stated earlier.you can find these on ebay often enough.your mileage should be about 25/28 round town and 20 on a fast run.a superchip is not like a powerbox it is a chip which is either tuned via a special company via their computer gizmo's or a chip which is replaced in your ecu by taking out the old chip and soldering in the new chipped one.this only works with the chip on the bosch ecu.

14mpg??? thats good, for a V8!!

are you sure its a doozel?

any ideas how i could check im getting abit worried now!!!

any good suggestions for a power box or a chip???

help meeeeeeeee

how slow is slow id also change fuel filter air filter and everything also these are known for in tank pump probs

probably best to get on the motorway and set the cruise, reset the trip computer and see what the mpg goes down to, you will get alarmingly high mpg at first but let it settle and it should go to the 28-30 range!

Fill the tank to the brim, re-set the computer at the same time, after 20 or so miles it should show 24 to 26 mpg uless you have a lead foot. It will use more in cold icy conditions or heavy traffic, mine averages 25mpg brim to brim here in France and up to 30mpg on the Autoroute

you have a pm

no that is not right,with standard 16inch wheels on my 2.5dse,with chip,i was getting 24 and bit around milton keynes,on a run to newark i got over 29mpg,but now slighty less now on bigger wider tyres.but still over 22 local.

The diesel in standard from, is slow as fook, crap.

Get a PSI powerbox, fit it, and then its spot on.

Simples.
