DAF's lineup is predominantly diesel, with 46 engine variants in our database. Diesel engines are among the best candidates for ECU remapping — modern common-rail turbo diesels routinely see significant power and torque improvements from a Stage 1 tune.
Across the DAF range, Stage 1 remap gains typically fall between 40 and 85 BHP (averaging 57 BHP) and 80 to 480 Nm of additional torque (averaging 236 Nm). Turbocharged variants see the largest improvements, while naturally aspirated engines benefit from refined throttle mapping and ignition advance.
DAF engines have an average suitability score of 5.2/10, indicating good potential for Stage 1 remapping. As always, results vary by engine — check individual suitability scores to find the best candidates in the range.
A Stage 1 ECU remap optimises your DAF's factory software to unlock its full potential — no hardware changes required. Here are the typical gains across the range.
