Whether you are looking for a little more power from your diesel truck or you are racing it on the track, performance diesel | Willys Workshop is what you need. With interest in the diesel engine at an all time high, diesels are taking a big share of the spotlight in truck and tractor pulling, drag racing and even sports car racing.

Increasing the amount of fuel and air injected into your diesel’s combustion cycle increases engine horsepower. This is done through mechanical means like bigger diesel injectors and boost pumps, or electronic methods like a tuner or a module that modifies the injection pulse width or timing. A camshaft with asymmetrical profiles for the intake and exhaust lobes also increases power output by allowing more of the engine’s rpm range to be used.

Why Choose a Diesel Shop? The Key to Efficient Vehicle Maintenance

The most common upgrades to increase diesel performance are in the areas of airflow, exhaust and fuel injection. Upgrading to a cold air intake or diesel programmer will allow more fuel and air into the engine for better combustion. This results in more horsepower without losing fuel efficiency or causing excessive smoke.

Exhaust systems increase horsepower by reducing back pressure and exhaust temperatures, which allows the turbo to make more boost. A high quality aftermarket exhaust system can be a major upgrade to a diesel vehicle. Many of these diesel performance upgrades can be installed in under an hour with a few tools and some know how. Be sure to always monitor your boost with a boost gauge and your exhaust temperature with a pyrometer gauge to keep track of your diesel performance and ensure you are safe and within the limits of your engine’s tolerances.
