MANILA, Philippines - Everyone loves having extra power in their cars: that’s a given fact. However, the road to getting those extra horses under the hood varies greatly between gasoline and diesel-powered cars. Gas-fed cars have the greatest leeway with choices ranging from free-flowing air intakes to a complete re-map of their engine’s brain – the ECU or Engine Control Unit. Diesel-powered vehicles aren’t so lucky, at least here in the Philippines.
Thankfully, there’s a solution and it’s as simple as “plug and play”: the DTS tuning chip. Made by a UK-based company, DTS has been in the manufacture of diesel tuning products since 1998. Being “plug and play”, there are no wires to cut and no connectors to solder. The entire system connects to the car’s ECU using a supplied connection harness.
Once connected, DTS tuning chips work by manipulating the various computer-controlled sensors within the engine. For example, it achieves better power by increasing the amount of diesel fuel injected into the cylinder resulting in less “flat spots” at low rpms and better performance at higher engine speeds. In addition, thanks to a more efficient engine, there’s also noticeable improvement in fuel economy (up to 3 km/L) and better emissions.
And now, DTS tuning systems are now available in the Philippines through DTS Philippines. Starting purely as an online business, DTS Philippines sets itself apart from other aftermarket ECU solutions by being much more affordable. By cutting the middlemen, DTS tuning systems are available for sale directly through their website. However, for those who don’t feel comfortable with shopping online, DTS Philippines has finally opened its first Manila-based store.
