    Roo Systems ECU Remap, including EGR system disable and catch can fitting - booked in

    Hi all,

    I bit the bullet today and have booked in an ECU remap with Roo Systems. It's something I've been pretty keen to do for a while.

    I know they haven't had the best reception on here due to their high price tags so at the very least everyone can get some good information from my experiences.

    Their customer service has been excellent. Over the last six months I've had an unthinkable amount of time on the phone to the same guy discussing the product and how it will affect the car, also I've discussed the details of how they do the tune and the tests they conduct. I've chewed their ear about the EGR valves and the option of fitting a catch can or not etc... they've been very happy to talk to me and so really in the end all of that is why I've gone with them.

    In any case I'm looking forward to some good results. It's booked in for next Wed 16th Aug. In the end I'll get all the print outs from their testing before and after the tune - all of which I'll share on this thread so everyone can have a gander.

    Price:
    $1695 - ECU Custom Remap inc. EGR system disable
    $485 - Catch can install
    Total: $2180

    Oh, and I have a 2012 D4 SDV6 3.0L.

    Cheers,

    Brad.

    Should be an interesting read. Looking forward to it.
    Are you currently monitoring boost pressures , EGT, engine temperature etc. at present so that you have a before & comparison?

    Brad, how many kms has your vehicle done. Very interested as I have same model. Would also be interested in how much gunk has built up in your system as well.
    All the best,

    Wow that is expensive.

    Before you fork out all those bickies, you should at the very least talk to Pete Bell at Bell Auto Systems in The UK.
    Many of us here have tweaked our Defenders with a BAS remap. The bonus is yo get diagnostic and fault clearing ability.
    There is no shortage of ecstatic raves on here about BAS.

    Having said that. I'm sure you get what you pay for with Gleno. and he's right there with you in Brisbane.
    Cheers, Billy.
    Keeping it simple is complicated.

    No my car doesn't have a DPF.

    It's just coming up to 104k kms now.

    Just had it serviced and there were no issues. There was a soot build up as you'd expect but nothing major though.

    Yes the 3" exhaust was spoken about a lot. Ironically the reason I'm not getting it is because of the price. Their justification is that due to the two turbos and therefore "two exhausts" the exhaust package costs a lot more. An extra $2495 plus $260 to fit. Crazy money if 2+ grand wasn't crazy enough.

    I'll likely eventually get a performance exhaust. Just not from Roo Systems. We'll see I guess.

    Also, no I'm not monitoring EGTs and boost pressure. Only because I don't have the means to do so.

    Ive been assured by the lads at roo systems though that they'll be collecting that data on the "control test" before they commence the remap. Obviously monitoring these values over a longer period of time is ideal, but it'll be better than no idea at all.

    Brad, getting the remap done now, and then maybe an exhaust later, will that mean you'll have to have them go over the car again later to tweak it perhaps,, to make use of the better breathing the car will have ?
