    BAS 2.2 150hp vs 170hp

    Hi All,

    I have had the BAS 150 tune on my 2015 110 for over a year now.
    I was very happy with its performance, but I was curious how it compared with the 170.
    I only have the standard intercooler, I still have about 6 months warranty on the car, but I decided to trial the 170 for couple of weeks before the warmer weather kicks in.

    The 170 is way better than the 150.
    Not only is there noticeably more power, but the car is way more responsive, seems like there is no flat spot at all.
    The engine revs much more freely.

    I swapped back to 150 yesterday, and the car isn't as fun anymore

    I'm sort of looking forward to warranty expiry now, so that I can buy a new intercooler and map back to 170.

    New BAS Intercooler vs Allisport Intercooler

    Agree life's short, I want BAS 170. ...what's the consensus on best Intercooler - new BAS vs Allisport?

    Also, reckon I might do Ashcroft ATB in centre diff before putting substantially more grunt down the line...any thoughts on that as a priority? ...Also, Allisport radiator?

    Cheers

    I've got the Allisport in front of my 2.4, but my remap is less than 170. I went for economy and better torque curves as well as grunt. I don't need to spin the wheels with the camper trailer on... We were over 5t inc camper trailer and only had one little issue with it getting hot (not really sure why and it hasn't happened again.) We were climbing up out of Cairns over the mountains and the needle hovered at the nerve wracking point for a short time. It was very hot and humid but it was pretty warm going up the Cape and through the Gulf country too.

    2.4s seem more susceptible to heat than the 2.2 for some reason I’m not aware of.

    Summer here is pretty hard on vehicle cooling and we don’t seem to have any issues.

    The 170 tune does not like 40+ and won't go hard for long at 30+ on a stock intercooler.
    I want a B.A.S. IC myself.
    Cheers, Billy.
    Keeping it simple is complicated.
