We’ve looked at the things that you should think about doing first, to improve performance (without affecting reliability or longevity) whether you’re towing or off-roading. With that in mind let’s answer the question in every owner’s mind, ‘What are the top 5 performance tips for my 3.2?’ Some of these modifications work and some of them, well, if we’re being kind, let’s just say are not so effective.

Make sure you ask questions and that your dyno operator ‘translates’ your dyno results into information you can understand.A quick scan around the web will show that there are a ton of modification options available for the Ranger to ‘make a good thing even better’. Remember that to the untrained person a dyno graph can be like reading and trying to understand your health check blood results. This will allow them to sort through and pick out the runs that can be best used to describe the vehicles dyno results. Most reputable dyno shops will perform multiple dyno runs so as to achieve a reliable repeatable average of runs. Don’t settle for 1 or 2 dyno runs as this will not be a fair and accurate result. It is up to your skilled Dyno Tuning Professional to test the vehicle thoroughly and accurately. Automatic transmissions make dyno results hard to read as there is no ‘solid’ connection to the wheels like found in a manual transmission. Larger diameter tyres not only drastically effect fuel economy but also absorb power. There are many variables in the way a dyno calculates power and there are further variables such as tyre size and transmission type. Simply put to make figures comparative, given that the manufacturer only offers crankshaft power and DPCHIP measure only power at the wheels, DPCHIP have calculated wheel power back to a ‘comparative’ crankshaft power.īe sure you don’t confuse the figures you see here with what you achieve on a dyno. The engine power specifications listed here by DPCHIP are ‘converted or calculated’ figures and are to be used as a guide to the power gains you will get from installing a DPCHIP. These ‘Claimed’ manufacturers’ specifications are never checked or questioned by any Government authority or Independent group. Advertised STANDARD Power of 147kW yet the vehicle only achieves 105kW at the wheels on a dyno.įACT: - ALL ‘Claimed’ manufacturers engine power specifications are measured at the engines crankshaft.
