Since the release of this upgrade we have been keeping track of customer satisfaction. Most owner operators are running on power level two or three, to do their daily driving, and are very happy using those lower settings. Also, a minimum of a few tenths of a mile per gallon fuel mileage improvement has been noted for the average owner operator. Some have actually improved 1 full mile per gallon and more! The unit could pay for itself in fuel savings alone.
If you are not fully satisfied you may return the unit for a refund within 30 days of purchase. How is that for a satisfaction guarantee??
Note: The early first design Cummins Celect engines, built from 1991-1994, use one of two different boost sensors. When you place your order, we will need to know what style boost sensor your engine is equipped with. The boost sensor is located on the back side of the intake manifold and has a three wire connector attached to it. We need to know if the sensor screws into the manifold or if it is held to the intake by two bolts. The newer boost sensor and attaching components will have to be purchased in addition.
Our product is also offered as a budget unit. You can purchase a unit that has no remote control. This helps to cut the cost but you will have no adjustability of the power. On the N-14, Detroit, Cat E, and the C-15/16 an increase of 75HP can be expected. On the C-10/C12 an increase of 50HP will be accomplished. These budget units are also upgradable to a fully adjustable remote controlled units. If you decide, at a later date, that you want the best performance possible we can upgrade the computer and add a remote control, for a price.
Below is a description of the Cummins unit:
Power at your fingertips! The Celect engine was produced from 1991 through 1995. The Celect Plus engine began production in 1996. The performance computer for these engines Measures 9"LX5.75"WX2.225"D the computer must be mounted inside the cab with the LED readout attached by Velcro to the top of the instrument panel. The display, measuring 3.75"X2.25"X1", will show turbo boost and exhaust gas temperature (EGT/pyrometer reading). When the engine reaches 1300 deg. the computer will cut back on the added horsepower until the EGT drops back to under 1300. The LED readout has a selection dial with eight positions. Setting "0" signifies that the computer is turned off while the others increase horsepower in increments of twenty-five. This boils down to a maximum increase of 175HP*. For example: an engine rated at 500HP will now be able to achieve 525 at setting #1, 550 at setting #2 and so on until setting #7 where it will max out at 675HP*. While driving in snow, heavy traffic, fog, rain, off highway or if excitement levels become uncomfortable simply turn the knob back to zero where your engine will once again run at stock specs. At idle the computer renders the engine back to stock fuel settings. As pressure is applied to the throttle and the turbocharger begins to develop boost the computer will turn itself on and begin to add fuel at ½ LB. of boost. Say goodbye to the turbo lag. Your foot will feel as though it's connected to a mechanical injector pump. As you push so shall you accelerate. Your driving pleasure will be enhanced !! Note: The Caterpillar 3406E is making approximately 10 more HP per power level than the Cummins and Detroit for a 200HP increase. The C-10 and C-12 will add 125HP over stock. This improvement is rear wheel horsepower.
Fuel Mileage
Please keep in mind when thinking about fuel mileage: This unit is a performance enhancement . Generally, when you improve performance, fuel mileage is also improved. Fuel mileage can be increased when using this unit if you are an average owner operator pulling 60-80K lbs. across country. Under these conditions an average improvement of 3 tenths MPG is very common. Some of our customers have seen over one MPG improvement in mileage. There are also situations where there may be no improvement in mileage. These are:
- Running around empty
- Pulling very light loads
- Running on flat level terrain
- Pulling oversize or over weight loads
- Running high power levels
- Using the unit to gain enough power to run at excessive speeds.
