Thread: Source for VVT in Melbourne?

I would imagine anyone selling you one is just ordering it from the UK and then on selling to you.

You can easily purchase yourself from Bell Auto Service or Turbo Technics in the UK and either fit yourself or have a Land Rover workshop in Melbourne fit it for you.

Is it still necessary to remap the ecu if your currently running a chipped msb ecu ?Meaning replacing with a remapable ecu.

its is not necessary to remap the ecu the vnt will work with any map.

How ever to get all the gains from the extra air the vnt can suply i would remap the ecu to suit.

If yours is an auto is not really worth as the auto will shut down at much more then a decent stage map. 380nm i think.


Also it is easier to deal with Turbo technics direct as BAS and IRB are hopless at replying to your e-mails.

What is this claim based on? How does the vehicle know when it reaches 380nm?

I have a larger intercooler, VNT, high flow exhaust system and have one of TD5 Inside's most powerful tunes (a tune that disregards fuel economy for maximum power) on the ECU and my automatic does not shut down...

I found BAS good and quick to deal with. IRB were non-responsive.

I'm probably wrong but I remember reading that the autos would bring a light on the dash with strong remaps.

But Probably the same place you got your info from

D2a TD5 - power/torque limit for the automatic transmission
I have a 2003 Land Rover Discovery HSE TD5 automatic. I have been told that there is a limit to the amount of power or torque that the engine can put out before the automatic gearbox sensing this freaks out and puts the vehicle into limp home mode. Anyone know what this level is?

What sort of performance engine mods have people done to a vehicle such as this in order to walk as close to that line without crossing it?




Have you done any upgrades to your auto?

Also when a purchase my orignal vnt I found BAS great how ever when I tried to order my stage 3 I found him very hard to contact,

I ended up going straight to turbo technics

The auto ecu has a maximum engine torque figure of 400nm programmed. It's clearly a calculated figure so won't be an exact cutoff. There are widespread reports of the auto going into limp mode if too much boot is applied with aggressive remaps. I'd guess that the ecu faults because

I'd guess that the ecu faults because it is seeing at least one of the torque values exceeding 100% of the max torque value.

My latest modification has been to fit an Ashcroft HD Torque Converter, but the vehicle has been running fine without it for half a year with all the other modifications.
