Thread: BAS Remap

Likewise! My BAS2 RRC and intercooler are awaiting collection in the morning.
Christmas has come early this year

Really fast delivery to Melbourne, ordered Last Monday and arrived last Friday, engine remapped over the weekend, and intercooler goes in on Wednesday.


150hp remap has transformed the 90, completely different car.


Hardest part of the whole exercise was unplugging the ECU, the first plug was a bit stubborn and wouldn't release but once it was off the rest came easily.


Pete's help and FAQ on his website made the whole job easy, the tool updater on the PC and the app on the Ipad just work perfectly.


The live data the tool can provide is interesting, but I will continue using the ultra gauge.


Very happy chappie.

So mine arrived yesterday afternoon at last! Yay! (It was actually a quick delivery - I was just tooooo itchy to get hands on it)

After dinner and a couple of rums I decided to tackle the process.

For the 2.2 TDCi the first step is to connect up the tool to the port on the vehicle and read all the original ECU data, then send that and some added info to Pete at BAS. (The tool allows you to fire off an email with the info to BAS right from the tool)

Pete then comes back to you with what you need to install the new ECU and load up your existing vehicle standard tune/maps onto the new ECU.

(Malaysian vehicles have some strange setup and Pete was very helpful getting me to the point where I could start the car with the new ECU installed)

After test driving with the standard maps on the new ECU it was time for bed for me!

Over breakfast this morning, just before leaving for the office, I downloaded the 2.2 150hp Autobiography tune onto my BAS2 tool. Then took it to the car and flashed it onto the ECU.

Dead simple! Maiden drive was on the way to the office. Normally a 5 min drive, strangely took me about 90min this morning.. I took the LOOOOONG route.

Needless to say am grinning from ear to ear. Staff amazed as they knew I was pre-caffeinated and normally look more surly for the first meetings of the morning.

The tune really does transform the car! Not in a smoking tyres, drifting commute kind of way. C'mon 150hp is only a 25% boost from 120hp

The vehicle does pull away from idle a little easier, though that was never difficult. The real magic starts around 2000rpm where you feel the extra urge pushing you along more rapidly. And SMOOTH.... yes... Working through the gears, the throttle control and response made it very much a pleasure.

Loving it. Will write in more detail when I have more data and more time behind the wheel

THANKS PETE BELL (BAS)!!

(The group buy thread is here.... Do yourself a favour: NEW!! BAS Remap Tool Group Buy #Puma's only# )

Mine got here safe & sound. Thanks Pete!

Thank you for your kind words Tact, glad all was good for you.


Today due to polular demand im going to add to all 150BHP tuning the egr closed in normal operation. Im still leaving the factory 145kmh speed limiter as I feel this is plenty for a non intercooler Defender in a hot climate and reliability is key.

The egr will be commanded closed and DOES NOT need blanking at this stage as it will remain active for any emergency temprature control the engine management needs to use it for.

All 150bhp owners will have an updated file set at some point today which can be taken using the pc updater tool and clicking Program Flash Fiiles Enjoy.

As you know any problems at all please do not hesitate to email me on the tech.bas2 email address and ill assist where needed.

For me now I go and play in the Matrix

Pete

Glad all arrived safe Beery, ill await your email.
