Chip tuning for DAF LF45 FR118 4.5L 160hp (118kW) 600Nm ECU
DAF LF45 (I) FR118 4.5L 160hp (118kW) 600Nm — commercial diesel engine of the commercial segment of the PACCAR (с 1996) group (Нидерланды, 1928). Stage 1 chip tuning raises power from 160 to 182 hp (+22 hp, +14%) and torque from 600 to 680 Nm (+80 Nm).
DAF is a Dutch truck manufacturer, founded in 1928. The XF, CF and LF are DAF's main series. DAF specialises in long-haul tractor units and medium-duty trucks. Truck diesels carry an extended set of maps for commercial load, with the focus on torque. DPF/SCR with AdBlue is standard on modern Euro-6 truck engines. Truck chip tuning is a discipline of its own, focused on fuel consumption and pulling power rather than peak output.
The truck chip tuning community is an industry of its own, focused on long-haul routes. Stage 1 on truck diesels focuses on torque for loaded running. The professional logistics segment tunes for fuel consumption and pulling characteristics. Mid-range MAN trucks are a mainstream chip tuning subject in logistics.
