- In this vid I install the DPCHIPX in the 2021 Isuzu DMAX 4JJ3 and take it for a road test with live data and get a feel for the extra power and torque! Nice and simple plug and play engine module and install :)
DPCHIP is an After-Market interactive computer which exploits the full potential of modern EFI diesel engines. Individual programming and re-mapping of the engine management system enables this simple to fit device to increase power by up to 25% and torque by up to 35%. DPCHIP alters fuel, timing and air characteristics to create smooth power gains.

⏩ Where did this start?
I really enjoy tinkering with different projects - they usually require a whole bunch of research and learning along the way. It's satisfying on doing a thing and standing back and going 'Yeah! Totally did that!'. I had a bunch of mates asking 'how did you know how to do that?' and 'I couldn't never do that myself so I thought; I need to start something where I can help others that might be thinking the same thing :)
⏩ What will you find here?
The purpose is simply to make these videos as top quality and helpful as I can. They will always be free, there's ZERO agenda and the only motive is to try and upload what I would want to watch to help with that particular project. I'm also keen to keep building this little community and will try to answer all questions when asked - fire away :)
⏩ What's with the gloves?
Not after any TH-cam fame here which is why I'm not in the vids - they're not about me they're about the how-to! I used the gloves for the first couple of projects I filmed which just happened to be messy ones and it kinda just became a thing. Plus adds a little more personality I guess :)
New videos are being uploaded regularly so if there's something you'd like to see, have Questions and/or Comments drop me a line.
Cheers guys.
Adam

Great video, I have just installed the DP ChipX on my 2018 Mux. so far works really well.
I'm yet to tow with it.
Hi I’ve just ordered my x terrain don’t get it until October and I’ve just found your channel I love all your videos I’m addicted I can’t wait to do most of the modifications. Keep them coming.
Cheers Evan.
Love your vids! be amazing to see a test before and after on a dyno
Great video mate, nailed it as always, looking forward to the next video as I've never been a fan of chips but you may be twisting my arm, also good to see the brands giving discounts to your subscribers 👌
Yeah try and look after you guys 😁😁
Did you have a link to the site to purchase?
Just head to dpchip.com (details in video description) and use the code at checkout for the discount 👍
haven't used one before but wouldn't mind trying it once my DMAX is built.👍
Super helpful thanks mate
Keen for part 2! When do you think that will be coming out? Thanks for the informative video mate, my X-Terrain arrives this year some time hopefully!
I’ve just installed an EVC throttle controller and it’s amazing. I don’t think I’ll bother with a chip, the drivability is brilliant
Happy with my performance so far. Eagerly awaiting your part 2 to se3 how it goes. Caravan turns up in January,may change everything. Thanks again, great video.
Cheers mate
Once again Adam, fantastic video now i just need to get my Dmax to use the code. Im telling you brother its like everything i want to do to mine your doing it before me. But i gotta say the 12v box is brilliant I never thought of that.👍
Cheers mate!
Watching with keen interest. Always curious, never felt I could justify the purchase.
My 2021 rig could be the tipping point for this little luxury ad-on…!
i have 35s on my bt50 and this chip would work wonders for it. i agree with you that it is lazy with increased wheel size.
Look forward to seeing your fuel usage figures. It's sure a lot better off the mark than standard. That extra torque should be excellent for pulling up hills. Well done mate another excellent video 👍
Cheers mate
G'day Adam, I will also be interested in your testing results, I've taken my DPCHIPX out of mine now as I found I was using more fuel, it wasn't extreme but with today's fuel prices it was enough to warrant me taking it off.
Hey@@eddie402009 , do you have bigger wheel/tyre combo to the stock? I'm about to go with bigger tyres on the factory rim, and interested to hear if you think the DP Chip would still be a good idea, especially that it's going to be a double-punch for fuel consumption; bigger tyres and a chip as well?
@@jdoubles hi mate, yeah I don't have stock wheels or tyres, they are CSA Dakar rims and 265/70/17 Wildpeak AT tyres, I already had them on before I fitted the DPCHIPX and have found to be using more fuel with it installed so I've taken it off for a trial period, it was great while towing but used more fuel compared to standard when not towing, I didn't notice much difference at all between the stock rims and tyres compared to what I have now, bugger all in fact, hope that helps mate.
@@eddie402009 sure does mate, yeah.
In fact, it gives me impetus to hold off on the chip, as I'm not going to be towing, I'm going to be doing majority beach driving - with a 3-ply sidewall tyre as opposed to whatever the stock HT tyres are (.5 ply??? lol) and I can see the mixture of those two leading me to digging some deep holes in some of the softest sand going around, save maybe at Inskip. Cheers mate.
Time for a 1 year on review? Take the DP Chip X out for a day and go for a drive then tow. Love to hear a follow up on this one.
Yeh! 😃 what HE said 👆🏽😆
Also keen for this, and fuel consumption on vs off
Always been worried about using chips or a tune because of the possibility of voiding new car warranty. Will be looking deeper into it. Looks like it’s going to be the goods.
Installed the dpchipx specific to my dmax. Wasn’t able to tell the difference until the Pedal box was installed. Am really keen to see the part 2 of this video… perhaps i went wrong somewhere.
Wonder if it will stop the RAC tilt tray from saving our 21 bt50 with a ongoing dpf fault that sends it into limp mode just about had enough and the bloody brakes slamming on when another car is in a slip lane the dealer in the end just turned the system off.
Keen to see how the EGTs hold when towing your van up a big hill. Looks the goods from your first drive
Yeah same, have a good route planned that I'm going to do twice with and without plugged in, data log, fuel economy etc. It's def got more go, hopefully a little better eco as well 👌
@@VideoShowMeHow should be able to knock that out and do all your editing in a day or two 🤣
@@leetischler6347 hahaha yeah right 😂
How's the follow up video coming? 👍😁
@@leetischler6347 itsa coming! Bit on a the moment, working to get the last part of it done soon
Any new figures on the fuel usage?
Hey mate, very interested in how you've found the chip. When can we expect an update video?
I've been waiting for the steinbauer to suit so will be watching with interest, I notice the DPCHIPX is completely different to the old dpchip. Cheers for the video.
Yeah I'm tossing up between the two. I asked steinbauer about it and they weren't happy with the set-up without boost control so they are adding that to the set-up and retuning. Sounds like the EGTs might not have been great
@@leetischler6347 how long since you spoke to them.
Just checked my messages, 26th of July... he said a couple of weeks back then so I might give him a nudge
@@leetischler6347 just rang and was told early next year so might keep an eye on this DPCHIPX.
Yeh that's a while still isn't it, this might be the go instead
Wow that warrant from dpchip is gold. More than interested now.
Just wondering when that performance video was coming out on the DPChip. As a X terrain owner that tows a 2.8 ton caravan I’m curious of your results.
Hi, awesome videos. Just wondering, is part two out yet?
I laughed when I saw you wearing the gloves when you took it for a drive!
But curious if you considered getting a dyno tune specific to your individual car, and how that would compare to the DPChip.
Keep posting these vids, loving them all, really helping me with options for my 2022 DMax .
Maybe in the future 👍
great vid with very in depth in stall, cheers. One question, would the DPChip and a Ultimate 9 throttle controller work together?
Yep, they're two different things - dpchipX is an engine management chip, all a throttle controller does is modify the sensitivity of your pedal input 👍
HI Adam
Just curious about your DPChip. I jknow it has been over 12 months now, but how is the DMax running and do you have any concerns about engine damage or warranty issues.
I have just purchased one from Berrimah Diesel and had it installed - there seems to be some chatter about long-term issues with these mods.
Cheers for the vids. Thanks in advance for your reply.
Gaz
Do they have these for the 2013 isuzu dmax 2.5 ?
Gday Adam. Just signed up to your channel and doin the monthly donation to you for your excellent work mate.
I’ve just bought the DPChip and waiting for it, but just asking how your temps engine and auto, have performed after the DPChip install?
Looking forward to more vids mate.
Thank-you Micky for your support 👍 Engine temps are quite good on the gen3 dmax platform, anytime in 4wding or towing I monitor then live and am yet to see more than 93c. The new factory auto heat exchanger seems to also work well (haven't had any warnings and have been pushing hard towing) but I haven't been able to validate as the PID hasn't been cracked yet.
Did this have a big affect on the fuel economy ?
Interestingly that the makers of the chip will make good any repair if it is deemed the chip was the cause of any engine or drive train malfunction, herein lies the dilemma , how is that determined and who by?
My guess it will create a shit storm between Isuzu and DPCHIPX with each denying any responsibility or fault.
Love your work Adam, thank you
If I got my 2021 BT50 tuned with this chip for heavy towing, will it not stress the vehicle too much? I tow my boat 3000kg on occasion and some more HP and Nm wouldn't go a miss
Hey mate, from my research this chip operated within factory safe parameters, doesn't alter boost our rail pressure (I've confirmed this part with my own readings) tidies up the timings etc.. In my experience is given a nice boost to towing my camping, less gear hunting and overall smoother experience.
Thanks
Hey thanks mate!
I have a new D-Max myself and I would love to see in how much power you receive now since you put in this chip as I find mine D-Max is a little bit gutless in towing my van
It's about a 25-30% gain power and torque 👍👍
Hey Adam, how is the DP chip going? anymore thoughts on this while towing etc. Really appreciate your work, Thanks mate
So far so good 👌👌
Hi Adam, couple of questions. Was this install done before the throttle controller? and if so what APP were you using to get those Stats? As I am not planning on towing just yet I thought I would do the Chip first, and the throttle controller later if I need it. Thanks Jamie
Did the throttle controller first. Was using the Torque pro app for the stats. If you checkout the 2600km tow test video about half way I go into detail on the app and stats etc
Can you use these in conjunction with an iDrive throttle controller ?
Looks sensational. So easy
Yes of course 👍 The idrive is very different to this, it simply adjusts the pedal sensitivity, nothing to do with the engine. This is an actual engine chip, it increases engine power/torque, for the dmax/BT50 around 25-30%
Subscribed! I understand this isn't a race car, but can you do a 0-100 with and without the dpchip connected. Cheers
Yep have in the works
Did fuel consumption get better? U didn't talk about it in the video
When are we getting the next part going into results
Hey mate do you get any scrubbing with those tyres on ?
Hey, nope no scrubbing, good fit
Do you know if this chip can be used whilst having an idrive installed?
Sure can. All idrive doors is increase the actual pedal response rate, nothing to do with the engine. The dpchipX will increase actual engine power and torque
Hey Adam, I have the same d'max as you do. Do you find the sound system alittle bit of a let down? Like its clear but has no bass or feel, even with adjustment to the setting.
yeah mate ( Im not Adam obviously) being a sound fan the cones in the dmax are pretty sub standard. There are spacer kits and speakers to match that bring the sound up to spec. An amp and a slim line sub wouldn’t go astray either
Yeah, noticed a big difference when I was in a Gladiator recently, it had heaps more bass etc Reckon a seperate little sub would really round things out... Hmmmmm 🤔😀
Cheers for the reply (everyone)
Just one little sub? Why not 2, or do you all think it might be pushing it? 🤔👻
@@MP-hf3jn indeed! There was a forum post on Facebook where some legend had 3 slims lined up behind the rear seats!
Hi mate huge channel fan I am a new dmax owner.
I was wondering, does the chip affect new car warranty from Isuzu? Thanks
Would have to be shown to contribute the thing that failed. Eg if a diff blows nothing to do with engine, warranty paid etc
Hey Adam, does installing this chip void the factory warranty to the dmax?
Same as an other mods really, no, unless it causes the issue. That's what I like about the dpchipX though, it has it's own warranty as well as engine and drivetrain warranty
Hi Adam,
How has the DP Chip been now some time down the track. Are you still happy with it ? and how did it affect Fuel economy?
Yep so far so good 👌 Good extra bit of power to help towing and sorts out some of the gear hunting in my experience.
Any updates on the chip
Nice video mate!
What obd2 are you running and the app that you we’re using?
Cheers
Thanks mate! Links in description, OBD Aus and torque pro app. I got into more detail on it on the dmax towing test vid on the channel if you're interested 👍👍
Hey mate! Just wondering, if I install the DPCHIP is it still worth getting a tune? I was originally going to get a performance tune for my DMAX but this seems to do a similar thing...
Cheers
I would do one or the other mate 👍
@@VideoShowMeHow ok so there is no reason to get the chip and do a tune? 😅 the chip sounds super handy tho
@@spadez6240 nah you'd do one or the other. They're both going to get a similar improvement so you would pay twice for no additional gain if you got both if that makes sense. Just one is preprogrammed on a dyno with same model and other is your existing ecu setting tuned on a dyno. Outlined a few pros and cons in the vid, short of it is I'm a fan of the chip for the convenience and warranty more than anything - but everyone has their preference depending on their needs 👍
I have euro 5 engine Dmax 2024 would this type of conversion be needed, with the NEW engine ??
21+ dmax is the same engines (4jj3) unless you mean the 1.9?
@@VideoShowMeHow 3lt auto
Hey Adam. Did you end up doing a follow-up video to this one, showing figures, sharing experiences etc? If so, I must have missed it...
Not yet (I know I know), just back from a big trip so starting to plan out a few things, hopefully soon (it is a big eg time vid to do)
@@VideoShowMeHow Adam, no stress at all mate. I’m just glad I haven’t missed it. Hope Fraser was awesome.
@@jdoubles Fraser was very wet and windy lol, just back
Can DPchip provide examples of where they have come to the party and repaired or replaced an engine/gearbox/diff?
Unsure mate, you'd have to contact them. The warranty is pretty solid though, it's a big draw card for me
Would very much like to see this too
We've never had an issue where there has been damage to engine because the chip is designed so that that is basically impossible. It never overrides factory safe levels.
Are you saying that your chip doesn't increase wear on the engine and driveline components?
Like to see removal of front fender ready for bull bar install whatever brand it is …
Nice content.. How about the exhaust? Does it produce black smoke?
Nope no difference to factory
These have a dpf filter on it to remove the soot 'black smoke' so you will only know if the dpf burns become more regular or it throws the dpf light on the dash.
I think they're meaning if the fuel is turned up that it runs too rich aka soot
What was the peak boost standard?
Most I've seen is around 20psi. This chip doesn't increase boost/rail pressure
I have received my DPCHIP-X, It has a Boost Plug harness that I have no been able to find the plug on the intake manifold as suggested. where is this little plug please?
Might have to shoot them an email mate, mine was an earlier version and doesn't have that part
the gauges at 10,50. where did you get them from? thanks
Is torque Pro app on phone
@@VideoShowMeHow Hi Adam, how is the chip going? are you still using it and is your fuel economy better or worse? Thanks
Never been a fan of chips as it not 100% to your car. Havnt had one in a previous 4x4 but have had chipped other cars. Was a very hit and miss process. Be keen to see how this goes with your car mate especially fuel economy
Out of curiosity, why did you pick a Chip over custom tune?
Similar result, flexibility of removing, no issues of dealer updates reflashing and losing tune, diy, warranty.. basically more convenient in a bunch of ways 😁 Not down playing the value of a full dyno by any means, imho both have their place 👍
@@VideoShowMeHow Never considered reflash by dealers, never had to worry about it before! Good insight as always sir! I'm going for custom mostly just to do a soft delete of the EGR. Thanks as always!
How do you think a dpchipx plus evc throttle controller go together?
@@corygodfrey6210 stay tuned 😉
What app/product you running for engine data
Car Scanner at the moment, did a full video on it if interested th-cam.com/video/ve4d0JMg6qk/w-d-xo.htmlsi=oAWi7aF4m6JU-gGK
Personally, I would prefer a Professional Tune above a chip
Hey quick one, just went to buy a DPChip and it said the discount code has expired or has reached maximum limit. I know things don’t last forever but it doesn’t seem that long ago the Vid was made. By the way love the your channel. Your videos are well articulated and always super easy to follow.
Hey mate, oh really? Maybe shoot them an email hopefully they can sort you out
Just a quick one, i ended up grabbing a dpchipx and it had another plug on the harness that went into the egr/manifold. Not too sure if its an updated version of the harness. My fuel economy has gone from 12/100 to 8.5/100 so very happy.
Yeah nice nice 👍 There is an updated one to what I installed originally
Just fitted the HSP central locking and assist kits, their instructions were as clear as mud so cheers for the videos.
👍
Just wondering if you did anything else when you fitted the bigger tyres like a lift kit or are they guid to go as is?
Must admit I like the factory rims so thinking on fitting a set of 275/65 Razrs to them rather than sourcing a new set.
The tyres are a wee bit smaller than yours, so if they'll fit without a lift it would mean less Ice Soup for dinner over the next few weeks.
:D
No lift as yet, researching which kit to go with now :) Stock lift works with the 285/65/18 spot on, even the speedo is almost exact now 😬
@@VideoShowMeHow Guid stuff. :D I thought there looked to be heaps of clearance but glad to hear there actually is.
I'll be keeping an eye on for which lift kit you go for in the future, cheers for the great content bud.
excuse me whats the app on the phone that shows all the gauges ?
Hey hey app is called torque pro. If you check out my tow test vid I go into more detail on it 👌
@@VideoShowMeHow thank you for reply does it come for iphone you know?
@@Jbwyatt I'm not sure, I think for the iPhone you need an app that uses wifi rather than Bluetooth. There's a bunch of other car scanner apps available for free though :)
Hey mate, how’s the chip been? Any dramas with it?
So far so good!
Great vid mate… you are so bad for my wallet haha, like a tuna to flashy things! I would of thought that they would of extended the harness so you could put the ECU in the cab. Thought heat soak might be an issue later on?I could be wrong though, I guess thats why we have warranty. Keep the mods coming!! love it.
P.S Ive said it before your video presentation is spot on its refreshing to hear your walkthroughs without feeling I need to grab myself a whistle and glow stick during the interludes. I may be getting old and yell at clouds but this channel is epic and spot on.
Haha sorry about the wallet damage! Glad you're enjoying the vid 👍
Was convinced to purchase one but the discount code has expired…😞😞😞
Ahh bugger! Maybe shoot them an email saying you saw the vid and hopefully they can reapply for you 😊
Is it just upping rail pressure?
There are better ways
No, doesn't touch rail pressure, was one of my first questions :)
Interesting.
I will suggest “buyer beware”- depending on your vehicle, some Dp Chips merely plug into your fuel rail (common rail) and increase the pressure by about 10,000psi. You can buy other chips that will do the same for half the price.
If considering a DP Chip, contact Berrima Diesel and ask for a copy of the installations guide- don’t get jammed like I did!
Hey John, these don't touch the rail pressure at all. This was one of my first questions.
Can't help but feel even with the dpchip warranty you'd still end up in denial hell with isuzu and dpchip blaming each other for your stuffed engine.
We've never left a customer in the lurch like that. Berrima Diesel is the company behind the product. Our reputation is unmatched and we have actually gone to bat on behalf of various diesel owners against manufacturers and dealers not doing the right thing with regards to warranty.
Noticed @13:27 your Speedo reads 52kph and your GPS reads 60.3!
Ah would just have been the sync between the cuts and that app, was tricky to get reference points so that part may have been out a bit.. well spotted!
I had the I-drive but found it cutting out a lot when I went around corners too slow, the dealer recommended I disconnect it to save my warranty :(.
Why did u go with the dp chip x
As mentioned earlier similar result to dyno tune, flexibility of removing, no issues of dealer updates reflashing and losing tune, diy, warranty.. basically more convenient in a bunch of ways 😁 Not down playing the value of a full dyno by any means, imho both have their place 👍
So will u be showing us how good the fuel economy is
@@brendanjansen2063 yeah mate, talked about that in the vid :)
Hope you're not going to go by what the trip computer says. Do a proper calculation at the bowser
@@BallBagsificationof course, that's the plan 👍
Hi
I had a DP chip on my Mazda 2017 BT50 It was useless and not worth shit. Had a remap with a dino run done it is absolutely awesome for $1200.00 . don't wast your money on DP chip.
PS I have one for sale if anyone wants one for there Mazda bt50. cheep.
What made it useless?
@@VideoShowMeHow G'Day mate
It did nothing no more power don't know why but Berrima Diesel service were great.
Cheers Rory
@@roryderbyshire4630 that's odd maybe it was faulty or something, definitely a nice bump with mine, not a race car but makes it more driveable particularly towing the camper
be careful when you go to Isuzu with having a DP chip as Isuzu will not give you any warranty on that motor once they see it I know it has happened to they told me after my first service when they seen it that they will not want my engine anymore because
