Yep building one. Hope to get it running on the dyno and short after on the track next week in Germany.:lolly:
Volvo Race Truck with D13A engine running on Adaptronic DI ECU - YouTube
I think your ECU is worth more than the Chump Truck is allowed to cost...
But anyway, a friend of mine has been running D12 for 2 seasons in Finnish National Series, with stock ECU, lot's of hacking and still not working like they want but about 1000 hp now.
Well if you had the option for overhauling your old 12L engine or get a D13A engine from a sponsor and use your budged mend for the engine overhaul and use it for an aftermarket ECU what should you do? Hacking into a OEM ECU, I think it’s a waste of time to find some RPM and torque and no ability to step things up with turbo RPM control combined with boost control so you can run more RPM with a smaller turbocharger maintaining the same Hp to the red line by reducing boost pressure as you ability to suck air in is restricted by a intake restrictor any way.
Mean while hope to get this truck on the track.
Yes, I understand, but I think it's interesting to study and reverse engineer stock ECUs, that way we can tune road trucks better. We don't have intake restrictors.
D13 is already done by Renault Racing/Mario Kreiss.
Do you still need the XPI injectors
Yes, or tips only if available from Scania or Cummins. For a reasonable price.
I can too let them be made in Italy or China, I was just asking if there are any stock part numbers available.Well than I think your better ask Scania or Cummins and stop asking me information as I cannot give you any, but yes we can deliver bigger injectors but they come at a price.:doh:

Exactly and that’s why Bosch and Delphi spend a fortune one quality control and new development…………! :badidea: Made in copy town.
BS, everything is made in China these days, that's why even OEM quality is quite bad. And if parts that I want are not available why not let someone independent make them? Lot's of Italy stuff in dutch pulling engines also.
