RA 2003 Chip, Exhaust and Tyre Questions.

Post by bourkey_119 »

Hi all, New to this forum, and just wanting to get a bit of chat about a few things. Ive heard a lot of conflicting answers regarding this so just want some more knowledge from people.

Firstly, Im wanting more power from my RA rodeo for towing the tradie trailer everyday, currently struggles off the mark. So there are a few options for more power, It is very hard to look past the DP Chip, ive heard they take very well to the rodeo, and there 5 year warranty is excellent. Steinbauer also seem ok, but i keep getting conflicting answers about what the difference between the 2 is?? Does anyone else run other chips etc on there Ra's?

Secondly is the exhaust options worth it? Exhausts confuse me a bit, full systems are pretty expensive, so what parts of the exhaust actually need tampering with?? Also there is the size confusion, i ask one mob that did a 2.75 inch and they told me they go with that because a 3 inch might over exhaust causing loss of power? Another mob that makes the 3 inch exhaust tells me thats rubbish? Any help here is appreciated.

Lastly, i run BFG's at the moment, but i want to get a set of muddies for "Playtime" :) , what size can i fit on my RA, i have a 2 inch suspension lift on it, how big can i go??

I know im asking a heap, but any help is hugely appreciated, love the site to!!!
Cheers, Bourkey.

if you get a modified dump pipe and a 2 and a half inch zorst, it will spool up a lot quicker. The biggest restriction on the Rodeo was getting the exhaust out of the turbo.

Mate, I had steinbauer chip on my 2002 & 3 inch system from turbo and that was the best decision I ever made. Come and see one of the guy from highway diesel at coopers plain and they will more than happy to install the chip for you to have a test run. The installation of the chip is very simple and quick

Cheers
