volvo d13 tune

[Rawze]

All brands of engines these days have serious issues if all you do is drive it around like a dumb s#it blindly and waiting for the CEL light to plague you instead of being pro-active thru preventative maint on the emissions systems regularly yourself. The Red motors only advantage is that it is the easiest to keep running, you can do a lot of things yourself on them easily, lots of info out there, all service manuals and info is free, software is all over the interwebs for free, even the SW to custom tune it yourself for those who want to play. .. AND there are reliable proper solutions are available to delte it -- FOR FREE for the most part without having to resort to paying others thousands$$$ and getting ripped off. The DOWNSIDE of the red engnes is that since it is so open ... there is a flood of people with improper and downright damaging solutions just too eager to take your $$$ in exchange for a quick buck preying on the average O/O who does not know any better.

I have not seen a single good solution for volvo on the open interwebs by any of those companies who "claim theya re the best" or are "more expensive ", not one damn bit. Some half-arssed broke-leg destructive crap that gets em by, but not a fully reliable stable proper programming solution.

Detroit would be in the same boat and still mostly is but I know of 2 people who have the tools to solve it correctly and have since done so. That would be Gearhead and Unilevers.

paccar is even bleaker when it comes to proper de-mandate programming. Nothing but brain-butchers out there for the most part, all too willing to take your money for false promises and bragging claims of "they do it right" when in fact they are beyond horrible.

Let me put it this way...

IF THAT super-duper custom tuning shop can't get an ISX right... they have no chance of getting any other engine right either!. The ISX is the most open engine out there with the most easy-access programming of any modern engine ... and more than 90% of all places butcher them horribly bad when it comes to programming .. simply because they have no clue how a modern diesel engine runs... Other engine they claim to do are more difficult to get into the details of what is needed to get one right, so it is guaranteed that if they can;t get a red engine right.. there is no chance in h$ll they are going to get a detroit, paccar, etc. even close to being right either.
