TorqTec FAQ

How does a Torqtec™ Module work?
The Torqtec™ Module works on all vehicles with electronically regulated diesel motors supplied with Bosch, Lucas or Nippon Denso injection pumps. The optimal injection parameters are calculated from the given motor parameters & sent to the controller. The controller corrects the injection regulation based upon the optimized values. The parameters also control the amount of fuel & the timing of the injection cycle. Extensive dyno & road testing sets the optimized parameters.

What sort of gains can I expect?
Up to 25% increase in power & torque over the standard vehicles power output. See the vehicle list for more details

Will the Torqtec™ Module interfere with my vehicles diagnostics?
No, the module will not be detected, nor will it interfere with any vehicle diagnostics.

Will fuel consumption increase?
The optimisation changes the motors torque characteristic, and it becomes substantially more elastic; this means there are less gear changes required, especially in traffic. This in turn can improve fuel consumption. An increase in fuel consumption is possible of approx. 15% can be gained expected under normal driving conditions.

Is the unit adjustable as my engine wears?
Yes, the Torqtec™ modules can be easily adjusted to suit. Not all cars come off the production line with identical outputs.

Will I have increased exhaust emissions?
Under normal conditions, no, a correctly fitted module the emissions change is minimal, and falls within emission specifications.

Will my insurance be more expensive?
Different insurance companies have different policies we suggest you contact your insurance company, and as with all insurance - get several quotes.

Can I remove the unit & use it on another car?
Yes, if it's the same series injection system or vehicle it can be re-fitted & the model number is applicable.

Why use the Torqtec™ and not chip Tuning?
No need to alter the original units (which become increasingly sensitive) . The Torqtec™ is easy to remove and can be installed on another vehicle of the same model. (may need reprogramming)

Can it be used on an automatic?
No problem! The Torqtec™ is suitable for use on automatics, dictronics, etc.

How long is the Torqtec™ unit guaranteed for?
The Torqtec™ Module is covered by a 3 year warranty against any manufactory defect by replacement and or repair at Torqtec™'s discretion.

Why is the higher power not proposed by the original car manufacturers?
Probably for tab reasons, given that the road tab in some countries is proportional to the original power of the engine. Also, in some countries, the official importers (e.g.: VW) propose an increase in power as an option.

What You're Saying…

In all aspects of my experience, including work done, costs and customer service from beginning to end, I give them a 10 out of 10 rating.
