Thread: How i got more power, safely for my 2013 D4 SE SDV6

183Kw/600Nm introduced MY13
190Kw/600Nm introduced MY13 in RRS
215Kw/600Nm introduced MY13 in RRS

Does show there is some head room in the engine for up-rating output.

Note they have only increased top end horsepower and not torque. More top end hp in a 4wd is nice but in most applications pointless unless your a constant traffic light drag racer. Most of these other upgrades have substantial increases in torque which is where LR have avoided any increase, what does that say?

What I really don't understand, why would you get a power upgrade on the 3.0l, I mean really, how much power do you need.

Having the 2.7l, I would like a touch more, but a lot more, a mild tune would suffice, something that's not going to increase EGTs a lot, and I would be definately getting a gauge to monitor them also, something that I think tuners should include with the tune.

so its ok for you to carry on is it?

Military engines are de-tuned, RAAF did de-tune many of it's engines from the Mirage through to F111 and current fighters being the classic and super hornets. It's a fact.

If you don't like my opnion and comments then tough, I really don't care for yours either

whatever, have one yourself

Seems to be alot of double standards applied. Some are allowed to say whatever the hell they like in whatever tone they like while others are jumped on.

Listen for the whistle as my care factor falls.

I wasn't directing my comments at you or being rude to anyone, just commenting about the TDV6 having enough power that you really don't need more power.

But comments like the bold above really don't serve any purpose other than to antagonise people.

You don't need to be aggressive to put your point across.

F the lot of you.

If you find people have antagonised or abused you, just report them and let the Mods sort it out.
