Diesel engines are powerful and efficient, but they can always be improved. Whether you're looking to increase power, fuel efficiency or both, there are a number of modifications you can make to your diesel engine to get the most out of it. From flash and ECM chip upgrades to air intake modifications and diesel fuel injection cleaners, there are a variety of ways to improve the performance of your diesel engine. Flash and ECM chip upgrades are one of the most common modifications for diesel engines.
If your truck has a diesel particulate filter (DPF), a diesel engine fluid (DEF) system and an exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system installed in the engine, you could benefit from one of these aftermarket disposal kits. Elimination kits can remove these systems from the engine to improve performance and fuel economy and reduce costly engine repairs. Adjusting the ECM (engine control module), also known as the on-board computer of your car or truck, is another cost-effective upgrade for diesel. An experienced mechanic can adjust engine timing and pressure to improve power or alter compression ratios to improve efficiency.
Airflow is key to increasing diesel power, making air intake one of the best diesel engine performance improvements available. You can also ensure that your diesel fuel injection system works smoothly and efficiently by using diesel fuel injection cleaners when you fill and change filters regularly. Finally, diesel tuners, also known as programmers, are small electronic devices that can help manage and improve the performance of the diesel engine, “adjusting” it more or less to your specific needs as a driver.
