Modern
diesel technology has created an era of a new tuning
market.
Today's new generation diesel engines feature high
pressure direct injection and variable boost turbo
chargers
that are electronically controlled by an engine management
system.
Whilst this technology has been common place in petrol
powered vehicles for decades the very nature of how
a diesel engine works means that they are infinitely
more tunable than their petrol counterparts.
Since recognizing this emerging technology Saxon has
invested considerable time into understanding and developing
modern diesel engines. Ultimately this has resulted
in us developing a new breed of Motorsport vehicles
powered by turbo diesel technology. In 2008 Saxon entered
a TDI powered VW Lupo into the Silverstone 24 hour
race finishing third in class.
We are now offering the benefit of our experience in
the form of tuning packages for the road or race track.
