Thread: Fingers crossed ECU remapping in progress

Well the remap was successful and it's awesome. Thoroughly recommend it.

Td5 Inside?

Hey mudguard, what is the theory behind the remap and the biggest improvements ?

Yep, td5 inside stage 2 remap.

The low down torque when starting off from a standstill it a big improvement. You touch the throttle and the rubber bands winds up straight away unlike the factory mapping which takes a couple of seconds to think about it. Also when normal driving and you come to merge in traffic and someone wants to make a race of it even though they are 2 car lengths behind you can now use a bit of the loud pedal and away she goes. Instant response. It now glides up hills which it had to drop back a gear for before and it revved its head off just to maintain some semblance of forward motion. I'm probably being a bit harsh but it's hard to describe how much difference there is. It's a new vehicle. I love driving it again

I bought the nanocom after umming and arring for the last couple of years. I wanted to be able to do the remapping myself and play with the other options. So finally bit the bullet and bought it and a madman ems2 to mount in the new mudpod on the dash to monitor EGT. Once I had those in and sorted I contacted Jose again and a couple of hours later had the newly remapped file. Took me about 10 mins to check, double check and finally triple check the instructions and then upload the new file. Start her up and off I went.

From what I have been told the Td5 ecu was mapped to be able to handle all sorts of diesel all over the world. So for example it needed to be able to handle the poor quality fuel in Africa (an example) so the factory tune was pretty mild. A lot of testing later there is a few companies who will use your downloaded map and alter it so that you get instant increase in torque and power without a lot of expensive mods. It's supposedly still in the safe range of performance for the engine etc so shouldn't be breaking things left, right and centre. For the relatively small outlay for the remap I'm stoked.

Thanks Craig. I think you have described the little idiosyncrasies (annoyances) of the td5 to a tee!
Maybe it's something I should have a look at.
Can one nanocom remap multiple ecu's?

Yep, from what I can tell and have glanced through on the black box solutions site I can remap all flashable ecu'so for discovery td5's.

My previous D2a was on early 03 model and needed chipping or the ecu to be exchanged.

There is a thread or sticky somewhere here with people who have a nanocom on a mp who are willing to help. Which reminds me I need to put myself on that list.

Good choice. I put the same map on my D2 a couple of years ago. Huge improvement!

Can't go wrong with Jose. Mine was a bit thirsty for some reason. I know our fuel in the NT is pretty rubbish. Jose did a new map for me and I managed 13.8L with a roof top tent so I'm happy.
