Chip tuning for DAF LF55 FR118 4.5L 160hp (118kW) 600Nm ECU
DAF LF55 (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 specialises in long-haul tractor units and medium-duty trucks. DAF has been part of the American PACCAR group since 1996. DAF is a Dutch truck manufacturer, founded in 1928. Mid-range diesels are a mainstream chip tuning subject in the commercial segment. Mid-generation truck models use standard OBD read/write. Truck diesels carry an extended set of maps for commercial load, with the focus on torque.
Stage 1 on truck diesels focuses on torque for loaded running. The professional logistics segment tunes for fuel consumption and pulling characteristics. The truck chip tuning community is an industry of its own, focused on long-haul routes. Mid-range MAN trucks are a mainstream chip tuning subject in logistics.
