The simple fact is a diesel engine only needs air and fuel to operate. | Given that the air consumption of the engine is governed by mechanical factors i.e. Cylinder head and manifold design, the only adjustments that can be made electronically by chiping are the amount of fuel injected and the point at which fuel is injected. | |  | | · What is the difference between petrol and diesel tuning? | | The electronic tuning of diesel and petrol engines compare in that only the fuel amount and point of ignition are being altered. | | The ignition point is determined by the spark plug firing instant in a petrol engine and the point of fuel injection in a diesel engine. | | To ensure engine safety, the amount of fuel injected at any particular time is crucial. Too little fuel for a petrol engine and conversely too much for a diesel engine can lead to problems. | | In terms of fuel quantity, the optimum power output for a petrol engine always corresponds to a safe fuel amount, however for a diesel engine the optimum power output occurs well beyond the engines safety point. | |  | | | | | | | |  |  |  | | The only difference between the traditional Unichip installation and the Plug 'n Play Uni Q Chip system is the wiring harness that enables the installation without cutting or intercepting the original wiring. | |  |  | |  | | | | | | | |
