Hi all
Being a bit cheeky but has any body got a stage 2 map file for a discovery td5 manual nnn ecu type that they would share?

I can't get my head round the td5 map editor software :/

I have got a modified .map file already came with the landy and a psi tuning box that i had from my last td5 plugged in aswell goes better with it.

The landy has got a large intercooler a turbo anti limit boost box,
Egr removed and a staight through exhaust.
Goes well for a big girl :)

Jose at Td5Inside does a nice price on remaps for AULRO members and I know a lot of members have availed themselves of the offer.

td5mapeditor is a tool that requires knowledge to use. You can play based on the notes for the main maps but that isn't going to get anywhere near best from the engine. If you look at the main "tuning tables" in td5mapeditor you'll notice that the parameters for even these are incomplete which means while the general effect of the table is known, the exact parameters that are referenced are unknown.

There are a couple of ways to find out what each of the tables does. The commercial tuners tend to purchase software that already has support for the Td5 ECU tables. These programs will typically cost you somewhere in the range of €2000-5000.

The second approach is to disassemble the ECU code using a tool like IDA Pro - which is easier said than done. Luca, the author of td5mapeditor, has made a number of attempts to do this, apparently without much success. In the past couple of weeks I've made some significant inroads towards the same but have some way to go before I can identify what each table does.

So once you have got to the stage where you know which tables you are looking at, which inputs are referenced and how the tables are used by the ECU you need to modify the maps in a meaningful way. Obviously you can try doing it by watching the smoke in the rearview mirror but that isn't really very controlled. Ideally you'd want access to a rolling road dyno to assess you mods, but monitoring gear that lets you log realtime information on EGT's and AFR will give you a far better picture of how your tune is effecting the fuelling. Factor in $200 per dyno session unless you own your own, and $5-600 for the egt/afr logging gear.

One way you invest a serious amount of cash, the other way you invest a serious amount of time and effort plus a smaller wad of cash. But either way it costs.

So it's your choice - pony up a for professional tune, or put in the hard yards and DIY, but either way have some respect for the effort and knowledge that goes into producing these remaps and don't request people illegally trade commercial remaps on this site.

cheers

Hello,
There is a lot of time and money in research and development in making these files and understanding them. There are lots of companies in the UK who do this. TD5 Inside one of the better ones. Asking for copies of files on a this forum is not the way to go.

We are a little team of Land Rover enthusiasts, and we often consider to purchase some professional tuning software to improve our experience: can you suggest us some useful choice to start with? Of course with full support of Td5 and later vehicles...

Thanks a lot for any information, Steve

Best thing to do would be to talk to Jose at Td5Inside.
