This means that an ECU MAP specifically optimised to your vehicle can be achieved. This will only involve a further rolling road session to once again optimise your engines settings. Most other diesel plug products only adjust the fuel quantity, the speed or load of the engine is rarely taken into account during this adjustment, and they are incapable of adjusting the point of fuel injection. Dastek are able to alter live, the fuel quantity and injection timing of over 476 individual points of the engine speed and load MAPs to provide the optimum combination of performance, economy and safety. The electronic tuning of diesel and petrol engines compare in that only the fuel amount and point of ignition are being altered. The ignition point is determined by the spark plug firing instant in a petrol engine and the point of fuel injection in a diesel engine. When manufacturers develop their ECU’s they must make compromises that take into account the production and operating variations of the vehicle. Taking all these factors into account results in a manufacturers pre-set MAP which isn’t optimum for the region of use. The simple fact is a diesel engine only needs air and fuel to operate. Given that the air consumption of the engine is governed by mechanical factors i.e. Cylinder head and manifold design, the only adjustments that can be made electronically by chiping are the amount of fuel injected and the point at which fuel is injected.
