JCB JS220 Excavator Tuning and Power Upgrade

Name: JCB JS220 Excavator Tuning and Power Upgrade
Brand: JCB

The JCB JS220 is JCB's crawler excavator. The engine control unit (ECU) software is recalibrated on the machine's own original file; the original software is backed up.

JCB JS220 power remap

A power remap on the JCB JS220 recalibrates the fuel quantity, injection timing, boost pressure and torque limiter maps. On an excavator the engine drives the hydraulic pumps directly; with more torque in reserve, rpm drops less when digging, slewing and travelling at the same time. The calibration respects the limits of the engine and the hydraulic system.

JCB JS220 DPF, EGR and AdBlue fault solution

Excavators spend long periods idling and under light load; in these conditions the particulate filter (DPF) cannot clean itself, asks for frequent regeneration and blocks. The EGR valve and cooler collect soot; with a NOx sensor, pump or injector fault in the AdBlue (SCR) system the machine enters limp mode and work on site stops. The cause is diagnosed first; the software solution is applied according to the ECU type.

ECU and compatibility for the JCB JS220

Services with a verified solution for JCB in our library: Stage 1 Remap, DPF Delete, EGR Delete and AdBlue / SCR Delete. The control units we work on in JCB machines include DELPHI DCM7.24, DELPHI DCM3.3 / DCM3.3+, MOTOROLA CM850 and BOSCH EDC17CV41. The same model can carry a different ECU depending on build year and engine option, so we confirm compatibility for the JCB JS220 from a photo of the ECU label or from the file read out.

Where is the difference noticed on the JCB JS220?

Digging in hard ground and working with a breaker
Digging, slewing and moving the boom at the same time
Truck loading, where cycle time matters
At high altitude and in hot weather

Frequently asked questions

Which software services are available for the JCB JS220?

Services with a verified solution for JCB in our library: Stage 1 Remap, DPF Delete, EGR Delete and AdBlue / SCR Delete. We confirm on the file which of them apply to the ECU fitted to your JCB JS220.

How much power does the JCB JS220 gain with a remap?

The gain depends on the engine option, the ECU type and the machine's power level within its range. Rather than quote a fixed figure, we read the original file first and tell you what increase is possible.

How do I find out which ECU my JCB JS220 has?

The exact type is read from the label on the ECU or with a diagnostic tool. A photo of the label and the model year of the machine are enough.

How long does the job take, and can it be done on site?

Most ECUs are read and written through the diagnostic socket and the job is completed the same day; some units are removed and worked on the bench. Contact us for on-site service.

Can the original software be restored?

Yes. The original software is archived and the JCB JS220 can be returned to its factory setting on request.
