More Power and Acceleration 

We all know that power equals acceleration — so how do you generate more power without modifications?

Short answer: you don’t need engine modifications. By improving the fuel burn (with FTC Decarbonizer and CRD Fuel Enhancer) and reducing friction losses through the driveline (with AW10 Antiwear), independent DT80 testing recorded 4.6% faster 0–80kph acceleration in a brand-new ute.

Independent testing at Brisbane City Council’s certified testing facility has shown that CEM’s Diesel Performance Pack produced significantly faster acceleration times in a brand-new Isuzu D-Max 4×4 ute — acceleration was recorded 4.6% faster under test conditions.

BCC is one of only a handful of establishments authorised to conduct the DT80 Test, the Australian standard for measuring fuel efficiency, performance and emissions in diesel vehicles.

Enhancing Combustion to Produce More Power

Enhancing the combustion process so the fuel burns faster and more completely is a known way to produce more power. Adding FTC Decarbonizer and CRD Fuel Enhancer to the diesel optimises injector response and accuracy, improves fuel atomisation, and provides an enhanced fuel burn. (See how FTC Decarbonizer works and how CRD Fuel Enhancer works.)

Reduce Friction to Increase Power and Acceleration

It’s also recognised that around 25% of the power generated in the combustion chamber is lost before it even reaches the flywheel — and a further 10% is lost before it gets to the wheels.

Adding AW10 Antiwear to the engine, gearbox, transfer case and diffs reduces power losses through these components, so more of the power generated in the combustion chambers reaches the flywheel — and more of that then reaches the drive tyres.

Isolating the data from the 0–80kph sprint component of the DT80 Test showed a marked improvement in power and acceleration: 4.6% faster 0–80kph times. The distance taken to reach 80kph was also shortened by 8.4% — an improvement of over one second!

Ron Lange (from MotorCare 4WD) is a fastidious mechanic who specialises in Mitsubishis. Ron was keen to reduce operating temperatures through his engine and drivetrain, as this means less wear and lower internal stresses. AW10 Antiwear proved itself — and he also credits it with cutting one second from his lap time.

Hitting these performance milestones is achievable with our diesel (or petrol) Performance Packs.
