SAME Virtus power remap

A power remap on the SAME Virtus recalibrates the fuel quantity, injection timing, boost pressure and torque limiter maps. Manufacturers sell the same engine block at several power levels within a range, so much of the difference between them is software. The calibration respects the limits of the cooling system, transmission and PTO.

SAME Virtus DPF, EGR and AdBlue fault solution

In the field, most faults come from the emission systems: a particulate filter (DPF) that fills up during low-rpm and short jobs, an EGR valve clogged with soot, and NOx sensor, pump or heater faults in the AdBlue (SCR) system. When these occur the tractor enters limp mode and work stops in the middle of harvest. The cause is diagnosed first; the software solution is applied according to the ECU type.

ECU and compatibility for the SAME Virtus

Services with a verified solution for SAME in our library: Stage 1 Remap, DPF Delete, EGR Delete and AdBlue / SCR Delete. The control units we work on in SAME machines include BOSCH EDC17C53 and BOSCH MD1CS089. The same model can carry a different ECU depending on build year and engine option, so we confirm compatibility for the SAME Virtus from a photo of the ECU label or from the file read out.

Where is the difference noticed on the SAME Virtus?

Heavy tillage with ploughs, chisels and subsoilers
PTO-heavy work such as baling, forage harvesting and feed mixing
Road haulage and hills with a loaded trailer
Tractors whose engine is at its limit for the implement they pull

Frequently asked questions

Which software services are available for the SAME Virtus?

Services with a verified solution for SAME 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 SAME Virtus.

How much power does the SAME Virtus 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 SAME Virtus 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 SAME Virtus can be returned to its factory setting on request.
