More Power – Less Fuel… How?
Air-Fuel Ratios: In real-world scenarios, common rail diesel engines usually run on air-fuel ratios between 18:1 to 22:1. These ratios are higher than the ideal ratio for complete combustion to reduce smoke emissions. By running slightly leaner mixtures, combustion becomes more efficient, leading to lower emissions and better fuel economy. However, it’s crucial to balance […]
Remapping Vs Plug & Play Chip
Remapping vs. chipping – the eternal debate! We often get asked about the difference between the two, especially for turbo diesel vehicles, and why remapping is the safer option. Let’s break it down. Many of our clients come to us with issues like sluggish gear changes, poor fuel consumption that doesn’t match pump readings, and […]
Ranger 2.2 Perfection
Attention Ford Ranger and Ford Everest owners with the 2.2 engine: it’s time to make your vehicle perfect! We strongly recommend contacting us to remove the restrictor plate in the exhaust. This plate, designed to mimic the restriction of a catalytic converter, is actually a major drain on power and fuel efficiency. Surprisingly, the 2.2 […]
Toyota D4D Models
We’ve been helping countless loyal D4D vehicles reach their full potential over the past couple of years. One common issue we’ve noticed is a significant correlation between injector wear and decreased power in older D4D models. As power levels drop, so does fuel efficiency, which is typical for turbo diesel vehicles. Modern turbo diesel engines […]
Isuzu KB300 &KB250
Let’s show some love for Isuzu KB300 & KB250 models! These Isuzu trucks boast unparalleled reliability and impressively over-engineered engines. With slightly larger VNT turbos compared to other models, they have untapped potential waiting to be unlocked. While their broad power range is appealing, the lag can be frustrating. However, our custom VNT mapping allows […]
Toyota GD6 Models
Toyota GD6 models like the 2.4GD6 & 2.8GD6 are constantly evolving, and we’re always improving our tuning options for them! While we offer power-oriented remapping, our main focus is on economy mapping. Our 50/50 package ensures lean air-fuel ratios of around 20:1, with finely-tuned mapping that enhances performance in every aspect compared to stock settings. […]
Ford 3.2 Perfection
After conducting long-term trials on various client vehicles, we’ve discovered a significant issue with large catalytic converters: they severely impact engine efficiency. These bulky converters restrict exhaust gas flow, causing heat buildup and making them more effective at reducing carbon monoxide emissions. However, this excessive heat can saturate the turbocharger, triggering a decrease in engine […]
Lets talk about Warranty
Warranties – a topic of paramount importance in our industry! At BoosTech Durban, we’re fully insured, ensuring that we bear all responsibilities for ECU coding and flashing. Our clients can rest assured that we won’t leave them with a damaged ECU or a poorly performing vehicle. When it comes to factory warranty concerns: Asian and […]
How it works ? Why it’s safe ?
Let’s talk about pollution. Car manufacturers have to meet strict emission standards to keep carbon monoxide levels low and avoid hefty CO2 taxes. But meeting these standards often means sacrificing power and fuel efficiency to save millions of dollars in taxes. At BoosTech Durban, our stage 1 economy tunes focus on removing pollution controls and […]
EGR Valve
The valve in question serves a vital function: recycling exhaust gases back into the intake system to mitigate vehicle emissions. However, despite its intended purpose, it poses significant challenges to engine cleanliness and durability. Take, for instance, this Ford Ranger 3.2 with less than 150,000km on the odometer. The intake pipes are severely clogged, a […]
