Volvo Trucks FH ( 2nd) 13 500 12.8L
ECU Chiptuning Performance Results
Estimated power and torque gains after Stage 1 ECU remapping
Torque Nm
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 FH (2nd) 13 500 12.8L involves recalibrating the engine’s electronic control unit (ECU), a Continental ACM unit with a PC564A80 processor, to improve efficiency and longevity. For trucks operating in demanding conditions, key objectives are fuel consumption reduction and ensuring stable engine operation over an extended service life. ECU reprogramming enables optimization of the 12.8-liter engine, which develops 368 kW of power, through more precise control of fuel delivery, ignition timing, and boost pressure.
The process includes analyzing current engine operating parameters, identifying suboptimal settings, and making changes to the ECU’s software. At AutoChip.lv, we utilize specialized hardware and software for safe and accurate parameter adjustments, eliminating the risk of engine damage. For Volvo FH (2nd) trucks, it is possible to disable AdBlue, DPF, and EGR systems, which reduces operating costs and increases the reliability of the exhaust system.
This is particularly relevant when operating in dusty environments or with poor-quality fuel. It is important to note that disabling environmental systems must comply with applicable regulations and standards. Engine optimization aims to improve responsiveness, increase torque, and consequently reduce stress on major components and assemblies. This contributes to increased engine life and reduced maintenance costs.
Chip tuning of the Volvo Truck FH (2nd) 13 500 12.8L allows the engine’s operation to be adapted to specific operating conditions and the owner’s requirements.
