Since the beginning of the '90s, modern diesel car engines have been fitted with an electric motor management system. This motor management contains a computer part ("chip"), which controls the fuel injected into the motor cylinders as well as the timing for the firing of the air-fuel mixture.
Simply exlplained, the chip is programmed in order to inject the optimum amount of fuel and the achieve the correct timing for the firing of the mixture as determined by the manufacturer.
The engineers at Arden have achieved remarkable developments in this area. This time working with the Range Rover TDV8:
The focal point of this development lies in a greatly improved torque in the mid engine speed area, without detrimentally influencing the fuel efficiency. In this day and age not always the case. Dependent on the use the vehicle was put to, even improvements have been observed.
Performance Specifications
From the Range Rover TDV8 with a standard 270 hp the Arden company has achieved in increase in
power of 45 hp. The maximum torque increased also to 700 Nm. At the same as the reprogramming of the motor management is undertaken, the limiter for the top speed is deactivated.
