Everything You Need to Know about Truck Tuning OBJ
What is Truck Tuning? / Is Truck Tuning Bad for Your Engine?
What are the Advantages of Truck Tuning?
Whether the ECU is replaced, the engine is remapped, or a performance chip is installed, the software change can have a significant impact on how your vehicle operates. Let’s take a look at some of the main advantages.
Who wouldn’t want more horsepower in their truck? You can increase the horsepower output of your vehicle’s engine by tuning it. When the ECU is first installed, it has conservative software settings, including power settings. These make the truck more stable in a variety of conditions, but they also mean that some power is lost. Tuning can alter the fuel/air ratio and timing to increase the power and torque of your truck. An engine remap on your truck will give you up to 20% more brake horsepower (BHP) & torque which improves fuel economy by around 8-15% depending on the model of truck. This will save your company a fortune in fuel!
About ECU Remapping Solutions on Trucks/Buses
ECU remapping solutions for trucks and buses address several key issues related to diesel particulate filters (DPF), exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), and selective catalytic reduction (SCR) systems, such as AdBlue. These emissions control systems are integral to meeting stringent environmental regulations but can present challenges for vehicle performance and reliability.
Diesel particulate filters (DPF) are designed to trap and remove harmful particulate matter from the exhaust gases. However, they can become clogged over time, leading to reduced engine performance and increased fuel consumption. ECU remapping solutions can optimize DPF regeneration cycles, ensuring more efficient and effective regeneration without compromising performance.
Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) systems are responsible for reducing nitrogen oxide emissions by recirculating a portion of exhaust gases back into the engine cylinders. However, excessive EGR flow can lead to reduced engine efficiency, increased fuel consumption, and carbon buildup in the intake system. ECU remapping can adjust EGR operation to optimize performance while minimizing these negative effects.
Selective catalytic reduction (SCR) systems, which utilize AdBlue (diesel exhaust fluid) to convert harmful nitrogen oxides into harmless nitrogen and water, require precise calibration for optimal performance. Improper AdBlue dosing or SCR system calibration can lead to increased AdBlue consumption, reduced engine efficiency, and potential engine fault codes. ECU remapping solutions can fine-tune SCR system parameters to ensure efficient AdBlue usage and compliance with emissions standards while maintaining optimal engine performance.
