Power Modules Provide More HP On Less Fuel

Power Modules Provide More HP On Less Fuel ENERGY Miscellaneous 29-6-36 Jason Penzo's power modules increase engine power and fuel efficiency by hijacking engine sensor information. They're designed for use on a wide range of Deere tractors and combines and New Holland combines, as well as Mack trucks. "Instead of writing new code into the computer to make the engine produce more power, we simply trick it," explains Penzo. The power modules plug into the existing connections to intercept the signal from sensors. The power module modifies the signal. The operator selects either a low or high output setting from his in-cab controls. The high setting is still well within the range of engine limits, while the low setting requires less fuel. "You get 15 to 30 percent more power from the same engine," says Penzo. "If you look at 8000 series Deere tractors, each one is identical except in power output. This module takes an 8120 and gives it the same power as an 8420, but saves you about $40,000." Penzo admits that some dealers won't endorse use of the boxes while others sell the $500 units. In the past two years, he says he has sold more than 2,000 units with no problems on any tractor. Penzo has concentrated on Deere tractors, making different versions for different tractor series. He is getting ready to release units for Case-IH MX series tractors. All products are marketed through four distribution warehouses in the U.S. and Canada.
