Performance Technology
Plug-in Power for the 24v Cummins Dodge
The van Aaken SmartBox R is an additional Plug-in computer that alters
fuelling and injection timing to give vastly improved Power and Torque from
the 24 valve Cummins Dodge.
• Up to an extra 60HP and 167lbs ft of Torque
• Simple Plug-in-Plug-out Fitting and Removal
• Improved Acceleration and Better Throttle Response
• Advanced injection timing gives lower EGTs
The van Aaken SmartBox R Plug-in Power
We have developed the van Aaken SmartBox R for the 24 valve Cummins engine to give the maximum
power and torque available without causing excessive exhaust smoke or compromising the reliability of the
Bosch Diesel Injection Pump.
We gain power with the van Aaken SmartBox R by tuning two factors - injection quantity and injection
timing. Each factor is carefully re-mapped right across the engine speed and load range to provide the ideal
combination for maximum power with minimum smoke.

The 24v Cummins with the van Aaken SmartBox R
The van Aaken SmartBox R gives the 24v Cummins engine a huge improvement in power and torque
across the rev-range which significantly improves acceleration times. At 2000rpm up to an extra 60bhp and
167lbs ft of torque are available.
The extra torque in the low to medium rev-range is very useful for maintaining speed, particularly on inclines
and when towing. On winding roads and in traffic where you maybe constantly adjusting your speed, the
wider power band and improved response mean less down-changes are necessary. When overtaking,
particularly at freeway speeds, the increased mid-range punch and extended top end power help drive you
past slower vehicles with much less drama.
Engine Reliability - From Improved Efficiency
The van Aaken SmartBox R advances the injection timing as well as increasing fuel delivery. Advancing the
injection timing improves the efficiency of the engine which helps to reduce Exhaust Gas Temperatures
(EGTs) and improves throttle response and power output. EGTs play a crucial part in diesel engine reliability
and the van Aaken SmartBox R keeps them close to stock levels - even with the extra power.
Pump Reliability - The Pump Limit is for a reason
The rotary VP44 Diesel Injection Pump used on the 24v Cummins engine is not as strong as the older in-line
type and so has an electronic limit to the amount of fuel it can deliver. Devices that are hard-wired into the
pump after the electronic section can exceed the pump limit but at the expense of pump reliability. The van
Aaken SmartBox R Plugs-in between the electronic section of the pump and the ECU and so is specially
programmed to reach this limit, when appropriate, but to never try and breach it. This ensures that the van
Aaken SmartBox R places no more strain on the pump than it has been designed to cope with.
Power Increases of up to: +60hp @ 2000rpm
Torque Increases of up to: +167lbs ft @ 1800rpm
