Duramax Diesel Performance…. what more needs to be said? The Duramax came out with the fastest truck in the nation with their high horse power LBZ motor. The duramax is ideal to build up for power because of the almost bullet proof Allison Transmission that the truck comes with. In this article I will talk about a few of the popular modifications that are done to the Duramax. The most popular modification for any diesel is the performance chip. One of the most popular ones out there for the Duramax is EFI Live which allows you to put custom tunes on your Duramax. You can use it to custom tune your own engine and transmission, so you aren’t restricted by pre-made tunes. It increases power, economy and shifts. Another popular tuner for the Duramax is the Diablosport Predator which comes with three performance tunes. It is uploaded into the trucks diagnostic port and puts in the performance or economy programs of your choice and has the ability to check trouble codes and adjust the speedometer for bigger tires. Another popular modification for the Duramax diesel is a cold air intake. Probably the most well known are AFE Intakes. AFE Intakes come with five protective layers and give maximum air flow with premium filtering. They also have a filter upgrade that has 7 protective layers. Getting air into the engine is important because the more air into the engine, the higher the percentage of fuel that can be combusted. So you get the power at the wheels and better economy versus losing it out the tailpipe in a black cloud. The third most popular modification made to the Duramax is an upgraded exhaust system. This is important especially if running a chip because the higher flow exhaust system will keep temperatures lower and the engine won’t have to exert the effort to push the exhaust away if it can flow freely away. The free flowing exhaust increases power and economy and relieves engine stress. Many people don’t want to pay the full price for a complete exhaust system. So a lot of people are using what is called the Aero Turbine Muffler. It is just a muffler replacement, but the Aero Turbine Muffler acts like a jet engine and increases the speed of the exhaust as it flows through giving benefits similar to a full exhaust system. EFI Live and AFE Intakes are ideal Duramax Diesel Performance upgrades- Nathan Young

Title: Increasing The Efficiency of Turbo Diesel Trucks and Cars
|
|
When it comes to diesel performance, the options that are available are many and are each equipped to do something very unique. I will attempt to address all of the most popular diesel performance modifications and their varied applications. Diesel performance has become the craze as of late, and has created quite a following. Diesel engines run at a high compression ratio and are capable of great economy and astounding power.
Without debate, the diesel performance chip and diesel performance module are the most popular diesel performance modification out there. By adding a chip, tuner, or module. The diesel engines, by enhancing injection timing, line pressure, the duration that the injectors are held open, or just by dumping more fuel are able to create another 25 to 200 horsepower. That is after a fifteen minute install that doesn’t require you to pay a mechanic or have you diesel truck or diesel car out of commission while it is being worked on by the mechanic. They are easy to install, and can be installed by most individuals with limited knowledge of the workings of the diesel engine. Most diesel performance chips and modules these days come with a monitor or digital gauge set up to monitor the new working levels of your diesel truck or car. The diesel performance chip and module have won the diesel performance market over hands down.
The next two items that I will address together are the cold air intake and the exhaust system, both of which move air. Getting air into the diesel engine is just as important as getting exhaust out of the engine. The cold air intake includes a high flowing filter, some of which are able to move up to 300% more air than the stock filter. More air into the engine helps a higher percentage of the fuel to be combusted which creates more power and better economy due to it not going out the tail pipe in a black cloud. On the other hand extreme fueling modifications should not be made if there hasn’t been sufficient accommodations made to get the exhaust out the back end. The reason a mandrel bent exhaust, higher flow exhaust, or larger diameter exhaust is so important is because when you increase power you generally increase heat. Without a way to get the back pressure to move along and decrease heat, engine damage could be the result.

Title: Ford Diesel Performance
|
|
Ford started it and the aftermarket finished it. The Ford Powerstroke Diesel comes from the factory with a lot of power, nice fuel economy and a serious towing capacity. Ford Diesel Performance has been tweaked a lot by the diesel aftermarket, and the Ford Powerstrokes can really be tuned up. We’ll talk today about a few of the common performance upgrades. The first upgrade that most people do to their ford diesel is the performance chip. Two of the most popular are the Diablosport Predator, and the Edge Juice with Attitude Monitor. These performance chips function in different ways. The Diablosport Predator is a hand held tuner that plugs into the diagnostic port under the dash, and it loads up a new program to the truck. The Diablosport predator has three power settings, on the top setting it delivers 120 hp and on the economy setting can deliver a twenty five percent increase in fuel efficiency to a conservative driver. The Edge Juice is a module that mounts under the hood and the Attitude Monitor is mounted on the dash. The Edge Juice with Attitude Monitor allows you to adjust the power as you drive which is nice when towing. On the top setting it also delivers 120 hp and on the economy setting gives about a twenty five percent increase in economy as well. The attitude monitor also acts as a full digital gauge set up and is used to monitor important engine parameters. These are some of the most popular Ford diesel performance chips. Another one of the most popular upgrades is the cold air intake. A Cold air intake is a large cone filter and is sealed away from the hot engine air. Cold air takes up less space and the more air you can get into the engine the higher the percentage of the fuel will get burned. This puts more power at the wheels and allows for better fuel economy. The other major modification that most people do to their Ford Diesel trucks is a larger diameter and less restrictive exhaust. A less restrictive exhaust is important especially when towing heavy loads. If exhaust gas temperatures climb to high, which can happen fast when towing, damage can be done to the engine. A larger diameter exhaust also relieves back pressure on the engine which allows for better fuel economy as well since the engine doesn’t have to push the exhaust away. The Ford Powerstroke diesel really is built Ford tough and there are many ways to make it even better. The Diablosport Predator and Edge Juice with Attitude Monitor are two popular Ford Diesel Performance upgrades- Nathan Young

Title: Hypertech Boosts GM Duramax Turbo Diesels With 95 HP Gain
|
|
Hypertech’s new Power Programmer and HyperPAC (Hypertech Performance Automotive Computer) give GM C/K 2500/3500 trucks equipped with 6.6-liter Duramax turbo diesel engines a significant boost in power and performance. What auto aficionados tagged as the "next big thing in automotive computer tuning" was incorporated into GM Duramax turbo diesels to produce 95 horsepower gain. The new Hypertech power programmer plus tuning program was developed by the R&D team of the manufacturer. The HyperPAC, for one, was the winner of 2 prestigious awards for engineering excellence. It is not only formulated to deliver the most powerful engine tuning capabilities but also loaded with user-friendly and sophisticated auto software programs. Further, it is capable of producing in-vehicle data that duplicates results from a chassis dynamo. According to Hypertech Founder and President, Mark Heffington, “With the HyperPAC, you can re-program your vehicle for more power and better fuel economy, monitor the engine (with digital or analog gauges displayed), in addition to measuring acceleration, power and torque output. You can easily evaluate any changes to a vehicle, such as the addition of aftermarket performance equipment. It’s like having your own drag strip, engine dyno, chassis dyno, data acquisition system, diagnostic machine and power tuning computer, all in one.” Hypertech Power Programmer and HyperPAC for the 2006 Duramax diesels feature 3-Stage Tuning that includes Stage 1 (+46 hp, +88 ft.-lbs.), Stage 2 (+62 hp, +120 ft.- lbs.) and Stage 3 (+95 hp, +178 ft.-lbs.). The feature allows truck owners to choose one of three power curves. The most powerful option - Stage 3 tuning - can be used while towing the highest weight recommended by the manufacturer. With more power in reserve and less frequent downshifts, many engine owners report noteworthy improvements in fuel mileage. So far, the manufacturer's exclusive calibration is the most efficient street-legal tuning available for the mentioned application. Among the useful capabilities of Hypertech programmer and HyperPAC include versatility to allow truckers who have installed non-stock tires and non-stock rear axle ratios to exact the odometer and speedometer readings. Also, the top speed limiter can be attuned for factory-approved speed-rated tires. But the long list of features offered by the manufacturer does not end there. Both devices read and clear Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) stored in the onboard computer thus expensive diagnostic scan tools are no longer necessary. The manufacturer noted that the exclusive Power Tuning calibrations were produced on computerized dynamometers and road tested under real-world driving conditions. Said auto facility can be installed in a matter of minutes devoid of tools or knowledge of computers. The stock tuning is stored in memory and can be restored at any time. The user-friendly feature of the facility is one of the many reasons why it is loved by GM aficionados. GM is aimed at promoting quality and functionally to boost its already prominent standing in the industry. Charlie Freese, executive director, GM Powertrain Diesel Engineering said, "Maintaining power and torque leadership with the Duramax is important to us because it's the benchmark that built the engine's class-leading reputation with our customers."

Title: Diesel Performance Chips- The Greatest Thing Since Sliced Bread
|
|
Diesel Performance Chips have evolved over the last decade or so that they have been in use, and have vastly gained popularity. The reason for their evolution and following is because the diesel performance chips are able to dramatically increase power and I mean dramatically. There are diesel performance chips that can increase power as much as 230 horse power and 400 foot pounds of torque. That is almost as much power as some of the diesel trucks come with bone stock. There are three ways that diesel performance chips are able to create power and improve economy. The first way that I will discuss that the diesel performance chips are able to increase power and economy is through duration. Duration means that the injectors are held open longer so that more fuel can be injected into the cylinder. More fuel equals more power. Diesel performance chips that use duration are not a good choice for a fuel mileage gain, but it does create large amounts of power. The second way is timing. Timing means that the fuel is injected earlier. Timing when used correctly also adds a great amount of power and adds to economy. The goal of timing on 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. The third way that diesel performance chips increase power and economy is through pressure. Pressure means that the fuel rails line pressure is increased, so more fuel is injected which creates more power, but at the same time having more pressure to the fuel when it gets to the injector helps it to create a finer mist or atomize as the fuel exits the several little holes in the injector tip. This improved atomization also helps the fuel to mix better with the air that enters the cylinder and is able to extract more power out of the fuel. Many of the diesel performance chips, modules, boxes, tuners, and the like use a combination of two of these techniques, and some use all of them. So essentially by adding more fuel and improving the way the engine burns the fuel and especially the increased amount of fuel, the diesel performance chips can dramatically increase power and economy. Diesel Performance Chips are your basic entry level Diesel Performance upgrade- Nathan Young

Title: Improving Diesel Performance
|

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 light commercials, trucks, agricultural machinery and construction equipment and even marine diesels.
Trucks which can benefit from the DPChip include; Ford Transit, Mitsubishi/Fuso Canter, Fighter and F-Series trucks, Hino Dutro, Ranger-Pro and 700 series, Isuzu N-Series, F-Series and Giga trucks, Iveco Daily and Euro Cargo, Mack Midlum and Premium, 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.

Title: Diesel Air Intakes To Improve Performance
|
|
Like most diesel truck owners, you are probably always looking to improve your diesel performance. Luckily, there are many tools at your disposal to help make your truck run more efficiently as well as more powerfully. Whether you’ve been making performance modifications to your vehicle for some time, or you’ve just started, a quality intake is probably something you’ve been thinking of incorporating into your diesel performance plan. Quadzilla Quadzilla intakes are one of the most popular, and when you see green, you know are you are looking at a Quadzilla intake as they use green exclusively. All Quadzilla intakes are built from steel and are powder-coated wrinkle black. Quadzilla is considered superior to other brands for a variety of reasons including the green woven cotton that wears better, and has better filtering capabilities. Quadzilla also uses just two layers, instead of up to seven, which obviously allows more airflow. With Quadzilla you can see up to 35 horsepower gains, which is quite remarkable. AFE Trueflow AFE Trueflow is another diesel air intake that you might want to look into. If you are tired of changing your paper air filter, AFE Trueflow might be just what you are looking for. This air intake filter involves five cotton gauze layers and two non-woven synthetic layers. With the AFE Trueflow you’ll benefit from high filtration and a long service life. The AFE Trueflow has been specifically designed for your Chevy Duramax, Dodge Cummins, or Ford Powerstroke that is operating under heavy-duty work conditions. This is definitely a great buy, and a brand you can believe in. Of course, when you mention diesel intakes, the Banks brand is one that fits right in. Banks has developed a series of intakes that will allow your engine to maximize efficiency by balancing the air and fuel ratio leading to safe engine temperatures, engine durability, fuel efficiency, and powerful performance every time. Banks has a theme of “First Air, Then Fuel” and this carries over to their intakes, which will enhance your performance every time. When you match their intakes with power chips, you’ll find that you have a great combination to work with! Bully Dog Bully dog is another of the obvious choices for a diesel performance air intake solution. Bully dog cold air intakes deliver more oxygen for more power, in every truck, every time. While Bully dog is known for just about every thing diesel and even Bully dog propane, it’s a brand that you can really trust and comes through every time. If you want more horsepower, a Bully dog air intake is what you need to get the job done. Even better, Bully dog has consistent prices so that you can improve your diesel performance as cost effectively as possible. Diesel performance is definitely affected by air intake, so if you haven’t already, you should consider the intakes above to work with your diesel tuners, diesel chips, and even your diesel exhaust to improve your performance even more! You’ll be amazed at what the right air intake can do for your truck.

Title: Diesel Performance
|
|
Recently I have been reading many things about Diesel performance products on the internet and what it can do to my vehicle. For those of you who that don’t have an idea on what diesel performance product is the answer is very easy: It refers to the increased power and performance that diesel-powered vehicles can provide. Until recently, diesel was used simply for heavy working use. This has changed, however; manufacturers have started to manufacture engines that are advanced compared to those of the past.
You will also find that the engines are quieter regarding fuel consumption, and friendlier toward the environment. Moreover, diesel engine is now used for luxurious vehicles with leather seats and all other great features that you want. As a result, the demand for power and performance from diesel powered vehicles also increases.
Recent developments in vehicle electronics, the power of engines can be customized more easily. With just a small chip, your car can achieve tremendous horsepower. Specifically, vehicles can even gain 130+ HP power and 180+ ft/lb. torque by simply setting up a small performance chip or module. Those performance chips can be fit in very quickly. Furthermore, there are other diesel performance parts such as gauges, mufflers, and exhausts that you can use. Aside from the above modules, air intake systems also fall into the same group. Raising the air flow is also critical to high horsepower gains without loosing fuel mileage.
For only a few hundred dollars, most diesel powered vehicles can get a big performance raise. Moreover, there are cases where some of the diesel performance parts will minimize the fuel consumption of your vehicle. Considering all those advantages, you should do a few performance oriented modification to your vehicle and see the difference in performance for your self.
There are a lot of choices available for you to choose from concerning diesel performance each can do something very unique for your vehicle. Lately there are a lot of people who are preoccupied with Diesel performance and how they can take advantage of this technology. Everywhere you look there are a lot of people who are starting to modify their vehicle’s engine to give it a high compression ratio or astounding power.
Now, diesel performance chip and module are the most popular diesel performance modification you can find out there. This kind of modification can be set up quickly by your trusted mechanic and this kind of modification does not cost that much. It can be set up by most mechanics that knows how diesel engine works.
Performance chip consists of chips, modules and programmers. They all have the same basic purposes although all of them will alter the fueling in somewhat different ways and have an array of safety features. In General for an old-fashioned driver, with almost any diesel chip about three to four mpg increases can be done. Do not forget to ask your mechanic’s advice on what sort of performance chip is good for your vehicle.
Most diesel performance chips and modules these days come with a monitor or digital gauge set up to monitor the latest working levels of your diesel car. The diesel performance chip and module are the most wanted products on the diesel performance market now.
Diesel Performance Chips have advanced over the last decade or so that they have been utilized, and have immensely gained recognition because the diesel performance chips are able to noticeably increase power dramatically. All of these adjustments add to the fuel economy of the diesel engine, and will sooner pay for themselves in gas savings, also will keep on for years after they are paid for to keep your money in your pocket. I think that diesels are the wave of the future and there are a lot of economy vehicles that are being put together in diesel versions because they are capable of so much superior fuel efficiency.
