Volo performance OBD chip

[lukumus]

Today I installed a "Volo Dynamic Soft Flash fuel saver chip"

It is essentially a piggy back chip which is designed to be spliced into your diagnostic port wires.

I was not too keen on splicing my wires so I bought an OBD II connector from Jaycar online. (so it just plugs in and unplugs. Totally reversable)

If anyone is interested I will keep you posted on economy gains (if I get any).

I'm Interested!!, my 2010 kk seems to be chewing
Petrol, but could just be that it's still a new car... I dint really know

Since I installed the chip I have only done 200km which was a trip to the panel shop. The car is still there because apparently it takes six days to get a replacement headlight.

In that 200km I didn't notice any change in fuel economy from the chip.

I do a lot of 500km trips and the car has travelled 30,000km in the past twelve months.

At the start while travelling at 110km/hr it was using 13-14litres per 100km which I thought was shocking. I was lucky to get 500km to a tank of fuel.

At around 25,000km I think it showed some improvement using on average 12litres to the hundred km.

If I drive at 90km/hr I have gotten about 10 litres to the hundred km on a good day.

At 100km/hr I average about 11litres to the hundred km.

I so use upper cylender lubricant and injector cleaner quite regularly which boosts the economy at least 10%

I will report back when I have covered some more distance with the chip in.
