Practical Diesel Tuning: Conclusion
Conclusion

00:00 | - So at this point, you should have a completely tuned engine that provides good power and torque, good fuel economy and good reliability. |
00:07 | Just as important though, you should also have an engine that's smooth to drive and responds crisply to throttle input. |
00:13 | For me, the sign of a well tuned diesel engine is one that starts and runs like stock, while delivering improved performance and minimal visible smoke output. |
00:20 | That should be our ultimate goal. |
00:22 | The process and steps outlined in this course so far have been generic and within reason, can be applied to any diesel tuning job. |
00:28 | In the next section, we're going to move into our library of worked examples where you'll be able to follow along the tuning process through from start to finish and see the process being put to use on real trucks on a real dyno. |
00:40 | While it's impossible to provide worked examples on every platform, you will find that there are certain consistencies across the various diesel tuning platforms which means that knowledge on one particular ECU or platform will often translate really nicely across to different platforms. |
00:54 | What this means is that even if we currently don't have a worked example for your particular application, there's still going to be a huge amount of value in these worked examples that you can apply to your vehicle. |
01:03 | We'll be adding further worked examples over time and these will be available to you at no additional charge and of course our forums are always there for you to ask any specific questions you might have once you get started. |
