Thread: Remapping New PUMA

Bruce informed me that there is about a,
20% increase in power, 90kw -108kw
22% increase in torque, 360nm-440nm
IMHO, that would make it a lot more pleasurable when towing the camper, overtaking manoeuvres, etc. etc etc.
BTW, he was adamant that the 2.2 is a LandRover motor and NOT a Puma as Puma is a Ford design and the 2.2 is not a Ford.

Kaz11 on here has a Bruce Davis tune, reckons they are getting around 140kw.

I recon I'd be happy with the 22% increase to 440nm torque. Plus wouldn't the engine longevity be a bit better if it's not quiet to close to the edge of what you can squeeeeeeeze out?

2.2 or 2.4?

A bit of a mute point if you dont have a 2.4 though. I personally am talking about remapping the 2.2 and not having to send the ecu away for a fortnight as it's my daily driver.

I am of the same opinion, I prefer if it is someone local and in my case here in Melbourne.
I was talking to Ritter Automotive the other day and they reckon they can do it with up to 50% gains in power but I don't think they realize it is a 2.2. Am dropping the new 110 in two weeks to install winch and other bits and will ask again.

This is exactly my dilemma also ...

Reluctant to argue with your man Bruce Davis, but I think he's wrong on this one if he's really of the opinion that the 2.2 Defender is not a Puma...

Look under Puma as well as lower down on "2.2" and you'll see the 2.2 is there as a Defender Puma engine. It is modified and refined, but its still a Ford Duratorq Tdci 16v "Puma".

The 2.2 SD engines optional in Freelanders and Evokes are different, but that's a completely different topic...

Cheers,

Lou

I read on the defender2 forum that the 2.2 is actually older than the 2.4. Pat
