Boost the performance of your engine

The upgrades will make use of modern higher efficiency turbochargers. Combining them with engine tuning will optimise the performance of the engine. This will bring fuel savings and a decrease of generated emissions. As a result, your operating costs will be lower. In addition, this will help you comply with the ever-tighter emission limits.

Further optimise and improve your engine performance by combining the turbocharger upgrade with:

  • Variable Inlet Closing (VIC)
  • Variable Injection Timing (VIT)
  • Camshaft with reduced overlap
  • Air Waste Gate (AWG)
4S engine performance upgrade

Three powerful benefits from performance upgrades

Saves money

  • Lower fuel and maintenance costs
  • Excellent payback time instead of turbocharger overhaul

Cuts emissions and maintains compliance

  • Reduced CO2 emissions
  • Compliance with IMO Tier II certification standards

Improves reliability

  • Less smoke produced
  • Lower engine thermal load
  • Enhanced load acceptance capability for the engine
  • Extends the turbocharger maintenance interval
