The
Powerbox is designed for quick and easy installation.
Most of our Powerboxes are a simple plug and play
installation using original adapter plugs. There are a
few Powerboxes that are wire-in, a set of instructions
is provided complete with diagrams that enable you to do
this yourself, however, an auto electrician would be
able to assist you should you require a hand.
Is it safe?
It is
absolutely impossible to damage your vehicles
electronics or ECU before, during or after installation
because the Powerbox is 'downstream' of the ECU and
remains in a 'slave' position. Your existing engine
computer remains in 'master' control of all engine
operational safety features at all times. The Powerbox
cannot make any changes until the ECU has told it
everything is safe and 'good to go'.
There is no way to
short out or damage your ECU or electrical system during
installation of a wire-in Powerbox. The Powerbox has
been designed with engine safety as the primary concern
at all times. It is simply impossible to damage
something even if you connect up the wrong wires during
a wire-in Powerbox installation. All that would happen
in that case is the Powerbox will not function. Every
Powerbox comes with detailed illustrated fitting
instructions so it can be easily self installed.
Alternately, any auto electrician or one of our
distributors could easily install the Powerbox in around
10 - 40 minutes depending on vehicle type.
How
does it work?
Only the DT
Powerbox can be laptop adjusted. If your vehicle is
heavily modified beyond standard or has other unique
characteristics then the DT Powerbox can be adjusted via
laptop to your specific needs.
Unmatched
Quality! Each DT Powerbox is assembled by hand. You can
be sure you are receiving an automotive performance
product that is the equivalent of a Swiss watch when you
purchase a Powerbox. The all important programming is
then performed so that the module and software is setup
to our specific standards for the South African
environment and fuel quality.
It's a
simple fact. Every factory standard diesel engine is
running below peak tune and efficiency. All diesel
engines are ‘detuned’ by the manufacturers. In mass
production it simply isn't economical to tune each
engine to its best. Every EFI diesel vehicle can benefit
from a Diesel Power Chip. The Powerbox can increase
performance in any EFI diesel engine by up to 35%.
Diesel vehicles, although more reliable and fuel
efficient than petrol engines, are notoriously lacking
in raw power.
If it's a 4WD, a lack of power and torque
can be more noticeable when towing or in off-road
conditions. Trucks will notice a lack of power when
fully laden or climbing a hill. For boats, heavy seas
can make a lack of power more noticeable. If you've
fitted larger wheels or tyres you may feel some loss of
power. The Powerbox has the answer to all these
problems. As you read through the information on this
website you'll begin to realise that, by fitting a
Powerbox, your diesel can reach it's full potential for
power and performance.
One
particular advantage the Powerbox has is that it is
installed 'down stream' of the ECU. This means that the
electronic changes that it is making are downstream of
the vehicles factory ECU, between the ECU and the
injection pump in most instances. This helps prevent
conflicts with the factory ECU signals. Generally a
Powerbox can be installed in around 30-60 minutes with
the simplest being a matter of a few minutes. All are
designed to be easily installed by people of average
mechanical capability, or if you prefer, you can have it
professionally installed at one of our distributors. If
you wish to remove the Powerbox, for either transferring
onto another vehicle or for any other reason, it is just
as easy.

An immediate increase in
both torque and power is obvious when you first fit your
Powerbox. You will appreciate the improved throttle
response and the increase in low and mid range torque.
If you're towing a caravan or trailer or have some other
heavy load you'll notice advantage the extra power
provides. Overall driveability improves and with less
need for gear changing your driving will be smoother and
more efficient. This improved efficiency often results
in fuel savings. In fact, in tests and trials we have
performed, as well as reports from satisfied customers,
benefits of approximately 10% better fuel economy have
been achieved. This obviously varies from vehicle to
vehicle and application. If you drive normally and you
take full advantage of the power increase you'll realise
the cost savings available through improved economy and
performance.
