Estimated Stage 1 gains are calculated from stock values using an approximate 20% increase. Actual performance improvements may vary depending on vehicle condition, fuel quality, hardware configuration and operating environment.
Chip tuning for the Volvo Truck FMx (2nd) 13 420 12.8L is a precise adjustment of the engine’s electronic control unit (ECU), specifically the Continental ACM with a PC564A80 processor, designed to improve efficiency and lifespan of your truck. The 12.8-liter, 309 kW engine requires an individual approach to management, particularly considering the operating conditions of commercial vehicles. Reprogramming the ECU allows for optimization of engine performance, reduced fuel consumption, and adaptation to specific tasks.
We analyze the current engine operating parameters, identify bottlenecks, and adjust the control algorithms to ensure an optimal balance of power and fuel economy. An important aspect is the ability to disable AdBlue, DPF, and EGR systems, which is relevant for operation in challenging conditions and helps avoid costly repairs to these components.
The chip tuning process involves reading the factory firmware, performing a detailed analysis, and making changes based on the engine’s specifics and the owner’s requirements. After this, the updated firmware is written to the ECU, and a thorough check of all systems is performed.
Engine reliability and durability are our priority. We strive to ensure that the optimization not only improves the performance of the Volvo Truck FMx but also does not lead to premature wear of components. AutoChip.lv guarantees high-quality reprogramming based on a deep understanding of the principles of modern diesel engines. Chip tuning for Volvo Truck FMx (2nd) 13 420 12.8L.
