Hi Naks,

What's your ball park consumption figures before and after? I've only really noticed about a 0.6 km/ liter improvement (over 5 tanks and city driving) and at Australian fuel prices that will take years to justify the actual cost of the Map if that was the intent1:D:twisted:

I'm aware of the astronomical price rises of fuel in the RSA and I can imagine 30 odd kilometers per tank will add up eventually or have you seen better figures?

I still run the original intercooler and Cat so if the cooler engine temps as per your earlier post is more efficient it might improve the consumption more?

Cheers,

Lou

Before the map consumption was around 11-12l/100km. With the remap and driving it much harder than before, I am now getting between 9.1-10.1l/100km.

So a saving of approx 2l/100km, which equates to around 600L of diesel, and at recent fuel prices here, that's 1.5 times what I paid for the remap :)


If your landy is still under warranty, I would start by drilling out the cat's innards - LR will not suspect anything, it's not like they will check for this. Later you can add the intercooler.

Nah, out of warranty 20 April this year, so I've started playing...

Mine was getting a solid 10 km/liter (+/- 0.2) with the standard map and it's now down to around 9.5 or a fraction less. I've not had it on the open road yet as its only been 3 weeks and my averages are to work and back in traffic.

Just a matter of time for the intercooler and a bespoke decat pipe. You need to remove the cat section to mess with the innards? If so, sounds like a lot of work and might as well look at the decat pipe.

Defender 2.4 304 Grade Decat pipe

The Alive Tuning one would be the best for posting as it comes in two sections to avoid having to remove the cross member. It's double price on the web, but I think shipping might kill the other two. The local Terrafirma supplier unfortunately can't get close to the delivered Alive price...

Cheers,
