The engine had a Diesel Power Chip installed the increase the chip provided was significant at 109.8 horsepower.

For most looking for additional touring power, the availability of the ECU Tune is welcomed.ĭisplayed in the dyno sheet above you can see the standard horsepower of 9805. Power Curve Performance are master ECU Tuners for these engines.Ĭustomers who own a ZD30 DI are understanding of the engine they own and its abilities.

To date the only Performance location on the Sunshine Coast to offer ZD30 Direct injection tuning via an ECU tune. It's most likely just a case of having the cable and software, but Safari would probably never release it.ZD30 Di in for Ecu tune, had a DP chip fitted, made an improvement with the chip but AFR and EGTs are concerning for the power level, some good tuning resulted in near factory AFR and nice power/torque gains. My Dtronic has a 4pin socket on it that isn’t used and I suspect that this may be the programming port. To my knowledge, ARB were the Aussie distributors and no longer sell any performance chips. It mentioned that only Safari could do the reprogramming, so it may be the case that the Aussie Distributor may not even know about it. It was a promotional report by Safari and consisted of dyno testing a ZD30 Patrol before and after fitting the Dtronic, but the vehicle in question had a 3” sports exhaust fitted to it, so the Dtronic was sent back to Safari for reprogramming as it was said that it would be benificial to do so after further modifications to the car and it would be advisable if fitting larger free flowing exhaust.

I read a report in one of the popular 4WD magazines back in 2003 (I think) when I was looking to buy a performance chip for my ZD30 Patrol.
