The last of the unijet JTD engines saw the Euro 3 variant with 115bhp and 188lbft. After extensive development to ensure optimum power and fuel economy return, the 115bhp rises to 163bhp whilst there is a massive 85lbft increase in torque. The torque of the engine once modified is similar to that of the larger 2.4 JTD Multijet with performance to match. We develop all of our software on the rolling road to ensure accuracy in terms of both power delivery and also to ensure fuelling, boost pressures and exhaust gas temperatures are all within tolerance. Our aim is for maximum power whilst maintaining optimum reliability.

I had my 2003 Alfa 156 1.9 JTD 8v (115bhp) remapped by Graham.

Since buying the car I have always regretted not getting the 2.4 JTD. However now I am not bothered after Celtic tuning worked there magic on it.

All I can say I that their service could not be any better.  The car now feels like it has been let out of its shackles.  It pulls all the way up 5k revs. It's a lot more like a petrol car. The power is delivered very smoothly too. It really is a lot quicker in all gears.

The mapping has even cleared the little flat spot it had at 2250rpm. I was concerned about the car smoking but it doesn't at all!

The car now goes as fast as it looks.

Graham says the car will be running 165 BHP and 400nm of torque and I well believe it!

Thanks again to Celtic Tuning.

HAVE AN AUTOMATIC?

Alongside the engine control unit (ECU) we are also able to provide transmission control unit (TCU) software to help further enhance your vehicle. There is a lot of limitation built into modern gearbox software to help hold back the power gains you are trying to achieve from your engine, our gearbox software overcomes this and helps transform the way the car drives. Some of the modifications include raising maximum torque limiters, faster gear shift speeds, increased clamping pressures to prevent clutch wear, increased engine RPM limiters and much more…
