Hi
Has anyone improved the performance of their wrangler jk, 2.8CRD? If so how was it done and how well did it work?

[Mike Pavelin]

The best bang for your buck would be a proper remap. Will cost around £300.

or a caravan.......

or a caravan.......

sherrif bubba here ........ panic as best i can see that input was neither funny or helpful so a bit of restraint might more helpful

as to the question asked remap is the only thing i have heard of for them

[Mike Pavelin]

Zensport in Essex can do the 2.7 CRD. Power up from 161 to 191bhp / torque 400 to 461nm

It's the good old 10p resistor in a box scam.

Google up Green Diesel Engineering..I've not used them, but heard some good things about their products on the  AJOR forum.

Right, having spent ages researching this, Black Code seem to be offering the best warranty (12 months). All companies seem to charge Around the £300 mark.
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

Richard, if you're still talking about your 2.8CRD JK, then that engine is made by VM Motori and wasn't ever actually used in any Mercedes...

[Toptooler]

Hi there
Used to run these in my vw t5 very good

[Richard039]

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.

[Brynjaminjones]

Haha, it's easily done. It took me a fair while to remember what engines were what in these things!

[isle of man]

For performance buy a V8 for economy buy an A-Class...

Frosty has a tunit box on his 2.8 JK and says it's good, he turns it upf or offroad and towing the trailer or 'van but turns it down to lowest for normal use to stop himself getting carried away!

[bgbazz]

There is a company called DTE Systems and they actually let you try it out before you buy..might be worth a look.
