Improving Diesel Performance by Miles Franklin Diesel engines run at a high compression ratio and are capable of great economy and astounding power. When it comes to improving the performance of a diesel engine there are many options available. Without a doubt the diesel performance chip or diesel performance module is the most popular diesel performance modification available. These diesel chips can work in a number of different ways such as by enhancing injection timing, line pressure, or just by dumping in more fuel.

Just dumping in more fuel is the easy and lazy way out. Chips that do this are usually quite cheap to purchase and are really nothing more than a variable resistor and allow you to dump more fuel in. The injectors are held open longer so that more fuel can be injected into the cylinder. The problem with this method is that it is very inefficient and can lead to poor emissions as well as engine damage. More fuel on the fire equals more heat in a diesel and these types of chips can increase engine temperatures to dangerous levels. Also, while you will often get a good power increase there will usually be a large amount of unburnt fuel dumped out the back in the form of black smoke. Fuel economy is drastically reduced with these cheap types of chips and they are best avoided.

You don’t have to sacrifice economy to improve diesel performance. A much more efficient way to increase performance is with a chip that adjusts timing as well as fuel loads. Timing adjustment, when used correctly, adds an even greater amount of power and improves economy. The goal of timing adjustment with diesel performance chips is to get the fuel in the cylinder at a more efficient time. If that is accomplished then more power is extracted from each molecule of fuel. This improved engine efficiency leads to better fuel economy.

The design aim of the DPChip is to improve engine efficiency first. It does this by altering both fuel and timing. The by-product of this improved engine efficiency is more power and torque as well as improved economy. On road it will give you a gear to a gear and a half better, with throttle response improved and much better pulling power when loaded and on hills.

Less gear changing also give you the potential to improve economy even further through sensible driving. One major truck manufacturer recently tested the DPChip and found an improvement of 15 gear changes less over a ‘short course’. This adds up to real world savings over the life of a vehicle. Most drivers report the fuel savings they get have covered the initial purchase price of the DPChip in a matter of months.
The DPChip is available for all electronic diesel engines, from cars to 4WD’s to Heavy Duty Trucks, Light Duty Trucks, Medium Duty Trucks, agricultural machinery and construction equipment and even marine diesels.

Used Trucks which can benefit from the DPChip include; Ford trucks, Mitsubishi/Fuso Canter trucks, Fighter and F-Series trucks, Hino Dutro trucks, Ranger-Pro and 700 series, Isuzu N-Series, F-Series and Giga trucks, Iveco Daily and Euro Cargo, Mack Trucks, MAN, Mercedes Sprinter and Vito, UD MK and PK series, Volkswagen LT and Transporter, and many more.

You’ll be glad you’ve fitted the DPChip when you experience the extra power and torque and improved economy it will give you. DPChip is an Australian company. The DPChip is developed and tested by Australians and backed by Australia’s premier diesel service centre, Berrima Diesel Service. They are diesel engineers not salesmen so the technical and product support is by a diesel engineer.  DPChip has a 5 year warranty, a 30 day money back guarantee and 24/7 Technical support manned by a qualified diesel technician.
