Hi

I have a year 2000 model Hymer B544. Checking the engine serial number with Fiat and they say it is a 2.8 td.

It seems my engine cannot be remapped because it has a mechanical pump and injectors system. It needs to be common rail with electronic ecu and injectors to make it possible.

Is there a safe way to increase the power and torque from a 2.8TD engine?

Hi to all

Crazyhorse, even with a mechanical fuel pump you can have it tuned, they do a dynamometer tune up and set the pump for optimum output,

A gain of around 10% - 15% at the wheels, and yes it is well worth having done,

I have a 2000 CI Riviera with mechanical pump, (1.9tdi) now has an output of 123bhp.

I dont know if its the same principle, but when a manufacturer sell a motorcycle in the EU, or wherever, the engine is tuned for a compramise between smooth running and emmissins controls.

Bikes, theres 3 stages, exhaust, ecu, rolling road. Its important, when you're doing a bike, to choose a company whos experienced, and the rolling road & remap adjusts and tunes your engine to the best level possible.
The bikes are detuned through the rev range which has been chosen by beurocrats for the emissions regs. doing one bit, e.g. exhaust, can free the gases exiting from the engine, but ca fluff up the fuelling, leading to further flat spots or duff running.

I reckon, if the same reasons apply, then I'd choose getting the whole caboodle done, so my engine ws tuned individually.
