The last truck I owned had a C-15 Cat. I had some changes made to the ECM turned into a Off-Road Cat motor. Gave me a heck of alot more power and my fuel mileage increaced. I now own a Volvo 670 whick I love, but it has a VED12 motor that is King of the dogs. I know Volvo has a Marine Div. that list a D12 that is capable of 600HP. Can there me mods. made to the ECM in the VED12 to increase performance. This truck I bought about a month ago has 570K miles on it. It is the best riding truck over the freightliner and Kenworths I owned.
What up grades can be made to a VED12

marine engines work with constant throutle and that's why life is longer and 12L engine may carry so hi power well!
it is not all, marine emission standards are different and you cant use full power marine engine on road.
It is not all, D12 is not very tought and overpowered engine will not be reliable engught, so th only upgrade you can do - D16E, Cat C15 ore ISX. -

Have you or anybody you know used their Volvo ECM tuning service?
If so, how were the results? -
I have done a little research on upgrading the d12d. There are a few upgrades that are safe but they are only exhaust upgrades; nothing as advanced as with the other motors for upgrades. I personally think that upgrading the tranny will do a better job of getting u the results u are looking for. Ive heard of trannies, even 18 speeds going for 3500 in salvage yards.. Just my 2 cents

A friend of mine is just building a D-12D racing engine with D-16 injectors. His goal is 1000 hp with good response and wide power range for good driveability, max rpm 2800. -
Let me know how he makes out and what kind of durability he gets out of it. And yes I understand its a race motor.
