To re-rate a CAT engine one must go to a CAT Dealer or Independent Certified CAT Distributor that has access to CAT ET (Electronic Technician) program. However, these modifications are expensive and may not work as required which we will discuss later in this article. Adding an updated turbo is also another way to increase HP. You can do modifications to the engine by changing out the pistons, injectors, the camshaft or damper. Re-rating a diesel engine is the easiest way to beef up an engine without digging into the hard internal parts. Re-rating an engine is an electronic process of powering up or down the default horsepower via the electronic control module (ECM). However, the good news is that if you have an electronic Caterpillar engine you can easily obtain more horsepower and torque via the ECM. PowerBlock IV supports OBD-II and is best-suited for J1939 because of its included ROM boot switch for Cummins ECUs.How to Cheaply Add Horsepower with an ECM Flash How to Determine the Proper Engine RatingĮlectronic engines get a bad rap in the heavy duty diesel engine world due to the amount of issues that can go wrong with them. To provide for the Cummins ECU ROM boot feature, we added a momentary switch to the face of the PowerBlock II, anodized the housing red, and called it PowerBlock IV. It is important to verify proper 9-pin DLC pin layout to ensure compatibility with your programming interface tool. PowerBlock's OBD-II 16-pin DLC follows industry standards.
ECUs that support both OBD-II and J1939 need only change the pass-through harness for dual protocol compatibility! J1939 programming tool support is available with the use of our OBD-II 16-pin DLC to J1939 9-pin DLC harness. Several simple steps and you'll be ready to connect your programming interface tool to PowerBlock's OBD-II diagnostic connector. Connect your USB or serial laptop-to-vehicle programming interface to PowerBlock's OBD-II diagnostic connector and then choose from the growing selection of BenchForce ECU harnesses.ĮCU > ECU Harness > Pass-Through > PowerBlock
Through the use of add-on harnesses, PowerBlock can handle just about any bench programming - especially OBD-II and J1939 applications.
PowerBlock is a circuit board solution that simplifies a vehicle's wiring into one simple CNC machined billet aluminum enclosure. Simplified.īenchForce™ PowerBlock is the central hub for powering up an ECU on the bench. Head over to the new site by clicking here!
