Thread: Disco 4 SDV6 3 Litre power/torque upgrade

If all it is is a computer file, then both should give the same output after a remap. It seems to me that there is some other details we are missing that despite a remap the SE has more power after than a TD.

Quite simply, it can.

Some tuners were led to believe that the TD had different hardware to the SD (and in some early versions it did) which altered the outcomes.

In AU the engines are mechanically and electronically the same. Those engines can all be tuned to the same level.

Very interesting

So can my 2016 Disco TDV6 achieve RRS SDV6 levels of output? My understanding was that the RRS SDV6 from the factory was at a higher state of tune than the Disco SDV6

Keen to understand what’s possible

cant have a disco outperform a RRS,,, just not on old chap...

250kw SC V6 Jag powered D4 can pants most RRSs all day☺

A 5.0l SC Jag powered RR would be a different story tho😐

Short answer is yes, and no.

L319 TDV6 = 155kW, 520Nm
L319 SDV6 = 188kW, 600Nm
L320 SDV6 = 188kW, 600Nm
Jag XJ/XF = 202kW, 600Nm
L494 SDV6 = 215kW, 600Nm

The tune that Guru036 (David) has in his L320 is making 700Nm & about 215kW, which tbh is on par with most sensible tuners numbers.
Biggest difference (in my opinion anyhow) is the throttle response, the power comes on so much sooner, you don't need more power after that.

You can! Indeed you must!

And a tuned 5.0L SC Jag powered Jag thumps a tuned 5.0L SC Jag powered RRS...



There's always someone faster...

How difficult would it be to add the paddleshift on the command shift tranny configuration? Any programming or additional harness required?

Yes too true...there's always someone faster...BUT it's nice to have a delivery van that surprises RRs and jeeps and pajeros and Prados and cruisers and Ameroks and Rangers and HSV utes etc etc...

...they just don't see it coming😅
