Has anyone used the :
DTUK CRD2 Multimap Power System - Land Rover Discovery 2.7 TDV6 190 PS
from Diesel Tuning UK? GBP350. Claims to improve power and torque from 140kw to 171kw and torque from 44Nm to 530Nm.

If not, has anyone had the remap done through Ritters in Melbourne? Interested in opinions, acknowledging they are like backsides. Everyone has a different one!
Cheers

Hi Karl,
Had my D3 done at Ritters in Melbourne.
Was very happy with it. Despite them telling me that I wouldn't notice much difference around town, I did. Appreciated it more when towing.
PM me if you want to know more.

Cheers, Craig

Hi Karl,
Sorry, but I've never heard of them.

More importantly, I don't know of any D3 owner in the UK who has used them, .

Some of the more common remaps in the UK are TorqTune, Bell Auto Services (BAS) and Turbo Chip (who, I think, uses BAS maps).

I know of one guy in Sydney who is very pleased with his Bluefin remap.

HTH,
Peter

What about the upgrades offered by AULRO member - Tombie

TD6, TDV6 & V8 ECU Upgrades

I have a BAS remap on mine. Can notice the extra performance when towing but otherwise hardly know it's been done.

My BAS remap via Tombie has been great. More pep around town and when towing, better consumption figures.

The DTUK is a plug-in tuning box, not a remap. Although the instant result to the driver is similar, they are very different things.

The plug-in box (a hardware fix) intercepts the signal between the ECU and the injectors, so can only control fuel load and duration. An ECU remap (a software fix) can change all the parameters under control of the ECU, which includes turbo speed/output, engine timing etc.

Long story short, a plug-in box basically dumps more fuel into your cylinders, giving you more power, but with some risk to the injectors, linings, higher exhaust temps etc. A remap gives the same effect (more power) but with less risk to the motor. Obviously plug-in boxes are cheaper, so that's your trade-off.

Cheers,

Gordon

I have a bluefin Supchips remap. Very happy with it. Plug in to upload new map and can be put back to original anytime.

Bluefin is similar to the BAS module
