More power, less fuel

Now Then..
If you don't want to remap your tractor / vehicle I guess you need a tuning box of some sort.. The question is,,, which one??
Who has good experience of such tuning devices and what brands are recommended??

 

[Grizzly_550]

Steinbauer everytime its the only one that works properly in my opinion.

 

[Hilly]

Why dont you want a remap ?

I got a Chip express one for our 5465 Massey
Transformed the tractor, took the torque curve up to where it needed to be

Interesting, did you have it Dyno'd before and after?

I believe your Massey shares the same Perkins 1106 engine as our McCormick MC135 Power-6 which is gutless.

Does your engine also have the stupid breather filter which costs ninety pounds a time to replace? I'm considering doing away with ours and installing a traditional breather vent tube down the side of the crankcase to atmosphere (or catch tank depending on how much drippage there might be!)

Not a fan of tuning boxes at all. Only add x% to the fuelling across the board. No timing enhancements, no torque curve re-shaping, no boost control, no egr delete etc. Plus points - safe if only a mild boost. Can be swapped between tractors of same engine.

(Good) remap for me, every single time.

Not dyno`d before
But definate improvment in torque at pto speed, before used to just die when powerharrowing
And no noticeable increase in fuel use
Not running any hotter either
Ours has a standard air filter

What tractor are you looking to tune?

Can't remap the McCormick or Massey ECU to my knowledge, I believe it's a Cat ECU on a Perkins engine?

Interesting thanks, I'm not referring to the air filter btw, there is a breather filter for the engine that filters anything the breather spits out, which in turn then goes back into the sump.

Yes you can, has to be done in boot mode, so open case on bdm machine

A John Deere 6125R.....

you dont know anyone who does then i have a 6465 2007 thats perkins none common rail

can I ask why it cant be remapped?

Warranty

dealer hear says JD can see if a R series has been chipped so either he's telling porky's for it wont make any difference if its chip or remap

Dunno
Perhaps the dealer will spot the remap when plugging the laptop in but not a box if its removed

 

[wold-topper]

I've remapped a few 6125R. They seem to need it mostly at the bottom end. Makes them much better when setting off up hill or with a loaded trailer

Only way he can see if it's chipped is if it's still plugged in when he lands and lifts the bonnet.
