Takeuchi TL12r2 and TL12v2 Performance Tuning



Takeuchi TL12r2 and TL12v2 Performance Tuning

Are you tired of your Takeuchi TL12r2 or TL12v2 being held back by restrictive emission systems? Looking for a way to boost performance while eliminating the hassles of DPF regeneration and DEF fluid? Reimer Tuning has developed the ultimate solution for Takeuchi compact track loader owners who want to maximize productivity and minimize downtime.

Why Takeuchi Owners Choose Our Performance Tuning

Takeuchi compact track loaders are renowned for their reliability and durability, but the factory emission control systems can create frustrating limitations. The DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter), EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation), and DEF (Diesel Exhaust Fluid) systems were designed to meet strict emissions regulations but often result in:

  • Unexpected downtime for DPF regeneration cycles
  • Reduced engine efficiency and throttle response
  • Costly DEF fluid consumption
  • Potential for expensive repairs when emission components fail

Our custom-developed tuning solutions address these pain points by providing a comprehensive solution that not only removes these restrictions but also enhances overall performance.

Our Custom-Built Takeuchi TL12r2 and TL12v2 Tuning Package

At Reimer Tuning, we don't use generic, off-the-shelf tuning files. Every performance solution we offer is built in-house by our expert technicians who understand the specific requirements of Takeuchi equipment. Our tuning package for the TL12r2 and TL12v2 includes:

Complete Emission System Solution

  • DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) Removal: The factory DPF creates a significant restriction in your exhaust system, causing backpressure that robs your Takeuchi of power and efficiency. It forces your machine into frequent regeneration cycles that burn excessive fuel while providing zero productive work. These regeneration cycles also create extreme heat that can damage surrounding components and lead to premature engine wear. Our removal solution eliminates these problems while providing improved exhaust flow, better throttle response, and elimination of the pressure buildup that often leads to turbocharger failure.
  • EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) System Deactivation: The factory EGR system introduces dirty, carbon-filled exhaust gases directly into your intake manifold, coating critical components with performance-robbing deposits. These deposits restrict airflow, create hotspots on cylinder walls, and significantly reduce the oxygen content available for combustion. Our EGR blocker plate solution prevents these contaminated gases from recirculating, resulting in cleaner combustion chambers, improved fuel atomization, and noticeably enhanced throttle response throughout the operating range.
  • DEF (Diesel Exhaust Fluid) System Elimination: The factory DEF system is a constant source of frustration and downtime. It requires continuous purchase of expensive urea-based fluid, creates additional maintenance requirements, and introduces multiple failure points across your machine. DEF crystallizes when it ages, clogging lines and damaging expensive components. The system's multiple sensors, pumps, and injectors frequently trigger fault codes that send your machine into productivity-killing limp mode, often in the middle of critical jobs. Our elimination solution removes these headaches permanently while freeing up valuable space and reducing electrical system complexity.

The Reimer Tuning Difference: Performance Without Compromise

When it comes to horsepower increases, many customers ask about the impact on engine longevity and fuel efficiency. Here's our approach: we're not just adding raw power – we're making your engine more efficient.

Our performance tune allows your Takeuchi to produce more power sooner in the RPM range. This means:

  1. You'll get up to speed faster while keeping engine load lower
  2. The machine responds more quickly to operator input
  3. When demanding situations arise, you have extra horsepower on tap
  4. Overall engine stress is often reduced during normal operation

It truly offers the best of both worlds – improved performance when you need it, with the potential for better efficiency during regular operation.

Aftertreatment Harness Concerns? We've Got You Covered

A common question we receive involves damaged aftertreatment harnesses. The good news is that our tuning solution completely deactivates the entire aftertreatment system, meaning:

  • Damaged harnesses do not need to be repaired
  • The CAN bus system will function properly without aftertreatment components
  • No need to install resistors or leave sensors connected
  • Simplified operation with fewer potential failure points

The Tuning Process: Quick Turnaround, Minimal Downtime

We understand that every day your equipment is down costs you money. That's why we've streamlined our process:

  1. Contact us to order your tuning package
  2. Ship your ECM and ACM controllers to our facility (using the shipping instructions we provide)
  3. Our technicians perform the bench flashing procedure
  4. We ship your reprogrammed controllers back to you the next day
  5. Follow our detailed installation instructions to complete the process

From the time we receive your controllers, our standard turnaround is just one business day – getting you back to work as quickly as possible.

Is Reimer Tuning Right for Your Takeuchi?

Our performance solutions are ideal for:

  • Contractors looking to maximize productivity
  • Rental companies wanting to reduce maintenance issues
  • Equipment owners tired of emission system headaches
  • Operators seeking better throttle response and power delivery

The combination of emission system removal and performance enhancement creates a Takeuchi that's more responsive, more reliable, and more productive than ever before.

Ready to Transform Your Takeuchi?

Getting started with your TL12r2 or TL12v2 tuning package is simple. The package includes:

  • ECM/ACM emission programming
  • Custom horsepower tuning with our Stage 1 package that delivers 10% more power (122hp)
  • Step-by-step instructions for ECM/ACM removal
  • Guidance for DPF filter removal and EGR blocker plate installation

Understanding Our Horsepower Enhancement

Our Stage 1 tune doesn't just add raw power—it completely transforms how your Takeuchi delivers that power. By adjusting fuel timing, injection parameters, and air-fuel ratios, we optimize combustion efficiency across the entire RPM range. This means:

  • Increased torque at lower RPMs for better machine response when you need it most
  • Smoother power delivery that reduces lugging and improves cycle times
  • Reduced throttle input needed for the same work, potentially saving fuel
  • Improved engine breathing that helps dissipate heat more efficiently

What makes our tune unique is that we focus on usable power gains. Unlike generic tunes that simply dump more fuel into the engine, our calibrations are specifically engineered for these Takeuchi models to enhance performance while maintaining reliability. The result is a machine that feels more responsive, completes tasks more quickly, and provides power exactly when you need it.
