Hello again, Rimmers are advertising the power box for fuel efficiency as listed below. Has anyone used one of these and if so what findings did you make. thanks sil
Power Box 2 - Diesel Fuel Saver - Mercedes by Rimmers
Installation of the Power Box 2 - Diesel Power Upgrade is relatively easy, with no specialist tools or skills required. No irreversible modifications are made - the Power Box 2 - Diesel Power Upgrade can be removed just as easily and the vehicle reverts to its original state.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
The Power Box 2 - Diesel Power Upgrade is a high quality, digital management upgrade, incorporating a modern RISC microprocessor. The “chip” is carefully programmed - using the manufacturers standard fuel map as a foundation – and modifies the opening times of the injectors, which then accurately meters the extra fuel required. Unlike many analogue devices, which crudely over-fuel throughout the entire rev-range, each Power Box 2 - Diesel Power Upgrade is specifically mapped for the intended application. Extra fuel is provided when needed - eliminating flat-spots and hesitation - but there is no unnecessary enrichment, meaning no loss of fuel economy and no black smoke. In fact, most Power Box 2 - Diesel Power Upgrade users report a noticeable improvement in fuel economy, as they discover it’s no longer necessary to work their vehicle so hard.
WHERE IS IT FITTED?
On most vehicles, the Power Box 2 - Diesel Power Upgrade fits under the bonnet, interrupting the wiring loom from the engine ECU. All Power Box 2 - Diesel Power Upgrades are fitted with the original vehicle connectors, so installation is simply a case of unplugging the relevant connector and plugging in the Power Box 2 - Diesel Power Upgrade. Full instructions are supplied and no special tools or skills are required. Power Box 2 - Diesel Power Upgrades are small, neat and discrete. They are fully encapsulated in resin and are shock resistant. Care, of course, should be taken to locate the Power Box 2 - Diesel Power Upgrade away from the effects of water.
HOW MUCH POWER WILL I GAIN?
On average, Power Box 2 - Diesel Power Upgrades give around 20% increase in power and 15-20% increase in torque. However, more important is how the vehicle feels: throttle response, crispness and driveability are all immeasurably improved, while flat-spots and sluggishness are virtually eliminated.
ADDITIONAL POWER GAINS
We also strongly recommend fitting a K&N air filter with a Power Box 2 - Diesel Power Upgrade. This will allow the engine to breathe and perform more efficiently (K&N’s can also be cleaned and re-used). In addition, fitting one of our stainless steel exhausts will also have the benefits of extracting exhaust gasses more effectively, with reduced back pressure, increased flow and improved turbo response - they look good too! If you wish to go further than this, consider an uprated intercooler for a truly efficient turbo diesel engine. With each of these enhancements, your Power Box 2 - Diesel Power Upgrade can be adjusted to give even better results.
WHY NOT JUST HAVE MY ECU RE-CHIPPED?
Unlike an ECU chip, a Power Box 2 - Diesel Power Upgrade can be fitted and removed easily. Also, as the Power Box 2 - Diesel Power Upgrade doesn't disturb the ECU, its presence cannot be detected by diagnostic equipment. Finally, when the vehicle is sold, the Power Box 2 - Diesel Power Upgrade can simply be removed if required and refitted to another vehicle. In addition, Power Box 2 - Diesel Power Upgrades are:
