HOW DOES IT WORK?
The Power Box 2 - Diesel Power Upgrade is
a high quality, digital management upgrade, incorporating a modern RISC
microprocessor. The “chip” is carefully programmed - using the
manufacturers standard fuel map as a foundation – and modifies the
opening times of the injectors, which then accurately meters the extra
fuel required. Unlike many analogue devices, which crudely over-fuel
throughout the entire rev-range, each Power Box 2 - Diesel Power Upgrade
is specifically mapped for the intended application. Extra fuel is
provided when needed - eliminating flat-spots and hesitation - but there
is no unnecessary enrichment, meaning no loss of fuel economy and no
black smoke. In fact, most Power Box 2 - Diesel Power Upgrade users
report a noticeable improvement in fuel economy, as they discover it’s
no longer necessary to work their vehicle so hard.

WHERE IS IT FITTED?
On most vehicles, the Power Box 2 -
Diesel Power Upgrade fits under the bonnet, interrupting the wiring loom
from the engine ECU. All Power Box 2 - Diesel Power Upgrades are fitted
with the original vehicle connectors, so installation is simply a case
of unplugging the relevant connector and plugging in the Power Box 2 -
Diesel Power Upgrade. Full instructions are supplied and no special
tools or skills are required. Power Box 2 - Diesel Power Upgrades are
small, neat and discrete. They are fully encapsulated in resin and are
shock resistant. Care, of course, should be taken to locate the Power
Box 2 - Diesel Power Upgrade away from the effects of water.
HOW MUCH POWER WILL I GAIN?
On average, Power Box 2 - Diesel Power
Upgrades give around 20% increase in power and 15-20% increase in
torque. However, more important is how the vehicle feels: throttle
response, crispness and driveability are all immeasurably improved,
while flat-spots and sluggishness are virtually eliminated.
ADDITIONAL POWER GAINS
We also strongly recommend fitting a
K&N air filter with a Power Box 2 - Diesel Power Upgrade. This will
allow the engine to breathe and perform more efficiently (K&N’s can
also be cleaned and re-used). In addition, fitting one of our stainless
steel exhausts will also have the benefits of extracting exhaust gasses
more effectively, with reduced back pressure, increased flow and
improved turbo response - they look good too! If you wish to go further
than this, consider an uprated intercooler for a truly efficient turbo
diesel engine. With each of these enhancements, your Power Box 2 -
Diesel Power Upgrade can be adjusted to give even better results.
WHY NOT JUST HAVE MY ECU RE-CHIPPED?
Unlike an ECU chip, a Power Box 2 - Diesel Power Upgrade can be fitted
and removed easily. Also, as the Power Box 2 - Diesel Power Upgrade
doesn't disturb the ECU, its presence cannot be detected by diagnostic
equipment. Finally, when the vehicle is sold, the Power Box 2 - Diesel
Power Upgrade can simply be removed if required and refitted to another
vehicle. In addition, Power Box 2 - Diesel Power Upgrades are:
-
Fully compliant with original exhaust emissions standards.
-
Non-damaging to your engine.
-
Power Box is covered by a 3 year guarantee (limited liability).
