For the Dodge Caliber 2.0 CRD with common-rail turbodiesel engine STARTECH offers
powerful and reliable power tuning that ups power output by 40 hp / 29.4 kW. The
STARTECH SD3 performance kit consists of a plug-and-play control module that can be
installed by any authorized Chrysler/Jeep/Dodge dealer in half an hour, thanks to an included
custom wire harness. Like the production models the STARTECH-tuned Dodge Caliber 2.0
CRD meets EURO IV emission limits.
With STARTECH SD3 tuning peak power output of the 2.0-liter common-rail four cylinder
engine with Diesel particulate filter jumps from standard 140 hp / 103 kW to 180 hp / 132 kW
at just 4,000 rpm. Even more important for everyday driving is the increase in peak torque
from 310 Nm to 360 Nm between 1,750 and 2,500 rpm. Thus equipped sprint time from 0 -
100 km/h is shortened from 9.3 to 8.6 seconds. Top speed of the tuned Caliber diesel model
increases to 201 km/h.
For all engine variants STARTECH will soon offer a stainless-steel sport rear muffler with
four tailpipes. It lends the Caliber not only a more striking rear appearance but also a more
powerful exhaust note.
STARTECH offers more driving fun in the form of custom-tailored modifications to the
suspension of the Dodge. Progressive-rate springs precision-calibrated to the standard
shocks lower the ride height of the vehicle by some 30 millimeters.
Wheels make a car and STARTECH offers various custom-tailored STARTECH Monostar
tire/wheel combinations with 19- and 20-inch diameters for the Caliber. The palette of
suitable Monostar IV five-spoke wheels ranges from size 8.5Jx19 all around with tires up to
245/40 R 19 in size to an especially exclusive version with size 9Jx20 wheels and 245/35 R
20 tires.
To add more sporty emphasis to the characteristic appearance of the Dodge Caliber the
STARTECH designers have developed an aerodynamic-enhancement kit that'll be
introduced shortly.
The STARTECH program also offers numerous customization options for the interiors of all
Caliber models: The STARTECH Lifestyle interior package will go on sale in the near future.
Extravagant highlights can be added with striking STARTECH accessories: Polished
aluminum serves as the material of choice for door-lock pins, shifter and foot pedals. Also
available are high-quality floor mats with STARTECH signet.
