IMPROVING MOTORHOME PERFORMANCE

THINKING ABOUT CHANGING YOUR MOTORHOME DUE TO LACK OF PERFORMANCE?

THINK AGAIN - FIT A TURBOTUNE        100% UK DESIGNED & MANUFACTURED BY US

INTRODUCTION:

As a motorhome enthusiast for over 16years, I have owned & driven several models, ranging from a 2.5D Elddis Autocirrus coach built,  Peugeot Boxer II 2.2HDi High Top, Citroen Relay 1.9d (Eurocruiser), to a VW Transporter 2.4D (Swift Carrera). Currently I have a Vw T4 2.4D Compass Calypso, sadly the 5cylinder 85bhp engine it predates electronic engine mangement so I can't tune it. It could do with another 20bhp as well!

Of them all, the 2.2HDI high top was the most impressive to drive, followed closely by the Autocirrus, though that was after I had visited TB Turbo of Lancaster (sadly, no longer trading) to have an intercooler and turbo fitted at a cost of £1600. The Relay 1.9 was horrible until I fitted a turbo and intercooler from a donor Xantia. That 25% extra torque totally  transformed the noisy, tediously slow Eurocruiser into a quieter, more effortless and more economical camper. A joy to drive had it not been for the lack of power steering!

You wouldn't believe the difference and you can experience a similar result on your turbo diesel by plugging in a Turbotune module.

From around 2000, diesel vehicle manufacturers started to use a new fuel injection system called 'common rail', where a simple, but very high pressure pump provides fuel to an accumulator rail (the common rail) that supplies the injectors. One advantage from a tuning standpoint is that the common rail system permits the fitting of a plug-in electronic module which will increase the amount of fuel injected in proportion to the accelerator position and hence driver's demand. You can often identify whether your motorhome has such an injection system by the model designation. If the suffix hdi, cdti, dci, cdi, tdci, crdi, is present this usually confirms that a common rail system is present, making the use of a module possible. 

For motorhomes:  "It has transformed our motorhome. We tow a car on a trailer now we have power to spare."

We supply a specially tuned version of the Turbotune, with the emphasis on more appropriate levels of performance & economy enhancement rather than top speed or 0 to 60 time. Designed to give more low down and midrange torque, the result is a safe but very worthwhile reserve of torque for overtaking and hill climbing without fuel consumption penalty. Clearly if you used the extra performance simply to travel at a higher speed you would expect to use more fuel. But driven in your normal style, the fuel consumption will often be improved. You will be surprised at how a modest and safe increase can enhance your motorhome driving experience, making long journeys much less daunting, not to mention, less tiring.

Some Fiats have trouble reversing due to high gearing and lack of torque. The Turbotune can make a big difference to this by boosting the low down torque - by the same token, it also reduces clutch judder and stalling of automatics.

Finally,another point to consider is -:

You've no doubt noticed how much it costs when buying a new motorhome if you choose the more powerful engine option. Well now you can have similar performance for a fraction of the cost of that option.

Overall your motor home will be transformed into an effortless and satisfying drive or your money back.

For tow cars & 4x4s as well.   "It pulls my caravan like its not there"

Tow cars and in fact any diesel (we also do them for tractors) will also benefit from the features below, making towing easier and the extra low down torque helping you get off the line smoothly.

THE TURBOTUNE CR FEATURES: -

BENEFITS:

The Turbotune modules are 100% British products, designed and developed in house without reference to existing products on the market. We started with a clean slate and designed out the deficiencies experienced by the customers of these other tuning boxes.  All models now come with original equipment style connectors as used by vehicle manufacturers. More details of how it works are here:

This is what Car Mechanics Magazine had to say about our sister company Tuning-diesels.com Synergy module in their follow up report which was published in the February 2007 issue.  They used the module for 6months on a Rover 75 CDT diesel before reaching their conclusion:

" Recommended!  So our verdict is clear and unambiguous; this product really does do EXACTLY what it is claimed to, and we therefore have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending it to anyone with a Rover 75 diesel. It is also extremely good value especially bearing in mind that the standard Rover Powerplus upgrade costs around 450.   Reprinted with kind permission of the editor.

To sum up:-  The Turbotune gives you £500 tuning box performance, quality and support for half the cost or your money back.

CUSTOMER FEEDBACK  A selection from many received via email, printed with the permission of the senders  More here

Ducato 2.8jtd  Autotrail Dakota.  "Dear Sir,
Just a line to let you know that I fitted the Tuning Module supplied to my Motorhome and left for Devon on the 22nd December. It behaved impeccably, and I only had to change down once for hills and that was coming out of Exeter on the notorious climb out. This was only down to 4th though. I was going slightly faster than I normally would, and was still getting the same consumption as at the slower speed.
I recommended the Module to a fellow Motorhomer and showed him the ease of fitting. He was going to order one when he got home.
I am very impressed and look forward to my exploits during 2010. Postal service was very efficient, received the Day after dispatch.
Thanking you for a wonderful service."

"It has transformed our motorhome. We tow a car on a trailer now we have power to spare. Very very pleased"

FIAT 2.8JTD. "For your information, the unit I purchased for my 2.8 Fiat motorhome makes the vehicle so much easier to drive and giving me better fuel economy, well worth the outlay.  (another 2.8jtd owner reported 7% fuel saving with it it on maximum and no effort made to drive economically, over 3000km in France)

FIAT 2L JTD 84BHP (same engine as Peugeot/Citroen 2L hdi) "I was about to upgrade my sluggish Autosleeper 2L hdi  for the more powerful 2.2L model but the Turbotune has saved me that expense. Thank you indeed!"

FIAT SCUDO 2L "I thought I'd offer some feedback on the module fitted to my fiat scudo van (2L HDI 110).After a bit of experimentation with settings I decided to get the full benefit and run it on number 10,The increase in power and torque is superb. As you can tell I am extremely impressed with the performance and price of your product and have made recommendations to other HDI engined owners".  

HYUNDAI TERRACAN 2.9CRD "Just to let you know that the Synergy 1 Tuning Box that I purchased for my Hyundai Terracan 2.9 Diesel Automatic is fantastic it "does exactly what it says on the tin" the extra power and torque has transformed the performance and given me a few more miles to the gallon as well. I never thought that a plug in box could have made so much difference, but it certainly does...  Nice one Ron!!"

A Renault Master van driver reported upto 100miles more per tank of fuel since fitting a Turbotune 1, as well as much improved performance.

VOLVO XC90 2.4D with our sister companies Synergy module (similar to the Turbotune) "... I had all ready had a £400 re map by RICA engineering . I wasn't to pleased with that even after having a £450 turbo intercooler  I will admit i did get a noticeable increase in power after about 2500 rpm but i apeared to lose out on about 3 mpg on city journeys ie short runs . since fitting your module i cant believe the difference in power throuought the rev range & to my supprise my short journey mpg has gone from 27 mpg to 32.5 never lower no matter how i boot it . "

"Fitted to my Sprinter van, the performance and economy is so much better. It pulls my caravan like its not there"
