Title: Diesel performance upgrades
Post by: Richard039 on February 15, 2013, 11:30:38 PM: Hi
Has anyone improved the performance of their wrangler jk, 2.8CRD? If so how was it done and how well did it work?

When this engine is sold new in a Mercedes you get an offer of different BHP specs and Black Code's remap is within Mercs tolerances.
Once I have had it done I will report back

Post by: Richard039 on March 05, 2013, 10:35:48 PM: Brynjaminjones you are absolutely correct and I got my wires crossed. The mechanic I was talking to said he was talking about Diesel engines in general and in particular the S series Merc. :icon_toilet:

Post by: Brynjaminjones on March 05, 2013, 10:44:19 PM: Haha, it's easily done. It took me a fair while to remember what engines were what in these things! :003:

Post by: bgbazz on March 06, 2013, 12:41:01 PM: There is a company called DTE Systems and they actually let you try it out before you buy..might be worth a look.
