Shocking idea... remap or don’t touch it.

Can you elaborate on the remap?

Who's D4 needs more power? The 2 I've driven go like stink already in stock form, I think some people just get greedy. 'Low on Power' isn't a common remark made about D4's from what I've seen... 😁

The D4 is Paul's. Yes, it goes well. He was wondering if it would go betterer like the D2 post chip. One of the local stores is advertising a chip for a D4.

Mick an SDV6 will do 185 km/hr from factory and gets there at a quite respectable rate for a none aerodynamic 3 tonne chunk of metal.

If he wants it to go like "stink"..... exactly what is he trying to improve?

Most plug in power chips, simply dump in more fuel without taking into account what else that may impact ... hence Mikes comments about remapping rather than a chip.

My TD5 was remapped and yes it went like stink..... but nothing anywhere near the D4 - in either top speed, acceleration, fuel economy or torque.

Dad has a 2.7 D4 and he got it remapped. Bruce Davies did his. A lot better off the line.

If i was looking for something "extra" in mine, id be looking for drivability off the line. She lags a bit, so in traffic, such as turning into a main road from a minor, you kind os need to predict the fact its got a delay...

We tow the 3+ tonne van, and its got more than enough.

I haven't driven a 3ltr but i'm quite happy with my 2.7, i would look at a remap to delete the EGR's and may as well give it a little tickle at the same time.
