Thread: 2.4L Puma Power ups

How many kw's and nm's are the chipped Puma's making?

something like the BAS system is the best option not some pigy-back thing leave those for the Jap cars.

I've heard that Pete is very helpful and accomodating. The idea that you restore the factory settings when it goes back to the dealer is

I know a guy who has had the BAS setup since new and when he drove his fathers untuned he forgot how bad the factory tune is. Like Naks said - this is how the PUMA's should have come

I would be interested in where in Karratha and how much. I also want to loose the cat. Taipan exhausts whilst maybe good but at what price. I'm over in Pomgolia in 3 months, between BAS and ALIVE locations. It would not surprise me evan with postage that it maybe competitive to obtain from Uk. Isuzurover where in Perth did you obtain your exhaust, I would prefer 2.5 inch for the Puma.
Pat, that will be a good place to keep your tools and spares warm for working on those cold days.

Don't know as Gary at ALIVE says "thats for Pub talk, torque is what its about. " I am inclined to agree with this, however I know of one Puma that with just a remap goes to 155km like rattle with a little more to come. It really makes them into how they should have come from the factory, no flatspots.

I got the BAS (Bell Auto Services) remap done last month when Pete was doing a January Special, cost me $650 all up. I have to say I was very impressed with the performance gains without going stupid. You can swap between your tunes whenever you want with a re-map programming interface module.
Check out the UK Defender2 site and do a search on BAS or ALIVE tunes.

Cheers

I don't like the idea of carbon going back through the motor either,stupid EGR. Pat

e.g. The 3" mandrel bent exhaust on my 110 cost me $500 drive in drive out, including a custom dump pipe - which is a work of art. That was steel but stainless would have been ~$800.

How much does the Taipan cost (+ freight and fitting?).

I must say, there is a difference, when you make a mandrel system its a series of bends and straights welded together, the aftermarket jobbies are a full, one piece system, with no welds, which will help with system life, as there is no weld on the coating on the pipe to rust it out
