Thread: Disco 2 ECU remap

Hi Rick

I can't comment on the re-mapped ECU but I can tell you that my TRS chipped ECU (stage 1) is a massive improvement.

I believe that it's given me 25-30% more torque and the power delivery is smooth. I took it for a trip on the F3 (North of Sydney) to the central coast ('bout 45mins on the Freeway) for the 1st time on the w/e, rarely had to drop down to 4th gear and didn't feel like I was pushing the car hard at all. It's now a real pleasure to drive. Around town there's some extra acceleration when you need it.

I'm looking forward to seeing what it's like with my 1.5t camper trailer on the back.

Not sure about fuel economy as I've not filled it up yet but am thinking that it may be slightly worse as I'm using the accelerator a little more aggressively.

Downsides ... from what I've read, it increases your EGTs (exhaust gas temps) and can possibly warp the exhaust manifold. Just keep your revs up, don't labour the engine and don't push for too long-too hard.

TRS will tell you that there's just as much chance of warp manifolds with non-chipped ECUs. There are methods/principles to counter-act that too ... just do a search here. I've got an EGT gauge on the way so that I can monitor it that way and drive by the EGTs.

Having said all that ... mines only been in for 2 weeks.

Just do it!

Cheers

Craig

Hi Discoemu, thanks for your reply. I also tow a trailer a lot of the time when off road and that's why I'm interested in a remap. I also have a D1 with a V8i and the only downside is the fuel economy, particularly when towing off road. The economy of the TD5 is pretty good so I am prepared to drop it a little in exchange for towing torque and a little extra power. Cheers, Rick.

Thanks in advance, Cheers, Rick.

Hi Jose,

You might want to check up on your email. I'm waiting on a reply to an email I sent to your gmail address on 22/10/2012.

Hi Jose

I sent an email to td5inside@gmail.com on Sun, 07 Oct 2012 16:29:56 and have had no reply.

I followed up with a different inquiry via pm on AULRO and got a reply within 48 hours - but the lack of response to the email has made me nervous to deal..... just letting you know - you might need to check that email after all.

Thanks for the warning guys...

I´ve installed a new Anti-virus and firewall 2 or 3 weeks ago and It seems that both our contact form from the website and some email adresses are being marked as spam ...

Got it all sorted out I think and yes Franrick there is an email from you from 26/10.

I´v replied to all the recovered emails.

Sorry for all the inconvenience,

Regards,

Hi Mate, my original message was via the "contact us" box on the TD5Inside web site.
My enquiry was in relation to a stage 2 remap for an '03 D2 td5. Basically, how much, what was involved and do I need to purchase a Nanocom, which I believe I do.
My enquiry was about 8 to 10 days ago.
I also approached another company who responded the same day with an email and followed the next day with a phone call.
On the strength of that phone call I decided to do my remapping with the other company.
If it takes 8 to 10 days to respond to my initial enquiry, what sort of after sales service could I expect.
Kind regards, Rick.
