Thread: BAS 150HP City Tune - Results

Nice.
I get some pretty impressive instantaneous fuel economy figures with my puma 2.2 110 but regularly get low 10s litre per 100k overall.
I've had the BAS 150 tune for so long now I can't remember what it was before but I've probably got a record somewhere.
I too keep saying I'll save for the BAS intercooler and the 170 tune although I see that Pete now only makes the intercooler to order, so maybe I should place the order and hopefully I'll have the money by the time it's ready

I say to customers (and anyone else that wants to listen) you would be lucky to notice the difference the bigger intercooler makes, I have dyno'd numerous combinations when I am tuning the Defender 2.4 and 2.2, I cant pick it (nor can the dyno) so i dont put it on a must do list.

What difference it does make is:
its a reliable replacement for a 2.2 TDCi when the std intercooler splits. (the 2.4 rarely splits the intercooler)
operating temp (of the engine) is maybe 1 or 2 degrees down, its one of them little things that create a overall improvement rather than a OMG its awesome.

both the 2.4 and 2.2 are on my fav list of engines (MK 7 transit engine). Ford I believe did a respectable job on these engines.

Yeah I think it's more the reduction in operating temps that's the real benefit.
Pete won't sell the 170 tune down under unless you get the intercooler (or at least he wouldn't last time I checked).

He said I’d be fine with the city tune and std IC. I’m in NZ and may be would be ok… worst case temps may be upper 30s in summer. But only a few days a year.

I've got a 170 tune and BAS Intercooler. I don't drive for economy ever. 11 to the 100 is what I mostly get around town and not that mush better in the bush. I'm pretty merciless with my 2.2 110.

Yeah I've got the same tune and he said the same to me and I'm in deepest, coldest Vic so probably not that much warmer than you!

My shiny new BAS intercooler is currently with the courier, hopefully arriving this week. Despite being made to order it dispatched within a week of ordering it from Pete.

Now the fun task of installing it along with some new hoses...

Keep us posted once it's arrived and fitted!
