In India, with the vast variety of cars, Tata Nexon is the latest that car gets Dieseltronic tuning box option. Along with the tuning box, the power and torque outputs of Nexon are raised to 126.5 Bhp and 281 Nm from the outputs of 108 Bhp-260 Nm.
The tuning box is a single channel unit by which we can understand that it doesn’t modify the turbo boost whereas it controls only the injector rail pressure. If you would like to use the device, you need to be well prepared from the start as there is a risk loss of manufacturer warranty. The warranty void takes place when the Dieseltronic tuning box is detected while repairing the vehicle by the service center. For regular repairing or servicing, you need to remove the device from the vehicle before you deliver it to the authorised service center.
Tata Nexon’s tuning box has come up with several modes as E, S, P1 and P2.
E stands for Economy; which has limited outputs of power and torque.
S stands for Stock;in which the modification of the fuel rail pressure is being stopped by the tuning box.
P1 and P2 stands for Power 1 and Power 2 mode; where the power and torque outputs gets increased while P2 avails the maximum boost.
The driver will get a remote to swtich these standard modes with the tuning box. However, the driver can install the RaceDynamics Dieseltronic tuning box, if they have decent mechanical skills. It’s not very complex to install and get started with, though it’s advisable to look for professional help. From a period of time, RaceDynamics is availing the tuning box for several diesel cars and on the basis of performance; buyers have been using it without complaints. A report on the global tuning box market published by Value Market Research foresees high growth potential for this market due to high demand for car modification and engine up-gradation.
Moreover, it is estimated that the engine life of the tuning box could be reduced over coming years because of building up more pressure on the engine parts. The tuning box is not affected to the engine life unfavourably, if there is a regular driving for about 150000 Kms.
While the tuning box has another alternative known as remap which controls more on the engine parameters. Unless the re-mapper allows the stock map of the vehicle to reloading, it is irreversible. For servicing or repairing, it doesn’t seem very accessible to stock back the vehicle while dropping off in the authorized service canter.
