Frequently Asked Questions
What does an ECU remap do on the Caterpillar 3406E 14.6 - 381hp ( 381 PS / 280 kW )?
An ECU remap (chiptuning) modifies the engine control unit software to optimise parameters like injection timing, turbo boost pressure and fuel delivery. On the 14.6 - 381hp ( 381 PS / 280 kW ), this typically results in more power, better throttle response and improved fuel efficiency at part load.
How much power gain is possible with Stage 1 on the 14.6 - 381hp ( 381 PS / 280 kW )?
Stage 1 brings the 14.6 - 381hp ( 381 PS / 280 kW ) from 381 PS to 465 PS — a gain of +84 PS. No hardware modifications are required, making it the most popular and cost-effective tuning option.
Is chiptuning reversible on the Caterpillar 3406E?
Yes. We always save the original ECU file before applying any remap. The tuning can be fully reversed to factory settings at any time.
How fast do I receive the tuning file?
