Thread: ECU

i run the after market ecu in my td5 defender
big difference power wise
cost was around $900
5min to install

we tried the same ecu in my brothers td5 disco
but wont work right had something to do with the electronic gearbox i think from memory
endless drama's

Thank for the reply. ARB price is $1800 for a dtronic unit.20%more power 30%more torque impressive but the price is not .Towing a eagle outback,disco handle it ok more power would be nice but not at that price cheers

where are you from ??

if you want i could put you onto the guy who did mine
Melbourne

cheers

I have a re-mapped ECU for my Defender TD5 from Bruce Davis Performance Landy in Sydney. Has increased power to ~130kw and torque has increased to ~400Nm. Cost me $850 and has completely changed the drivability of the vehicle.

I would give them a call on 02 9679 1978 and see whether they have anyone in Victoria.

Alternatively, it may be worth the drive up to Sydney to have it done. Given the price ARB are wanting to charge, it would be cheaper. The whole remapping and test drive takes about an hour.

They also do a larger intercooler which takes power to ~160kw and torque to ~460Nm, however this costs about $2,000. I personally have some doubts about the ability of the drivetrain, especially the R380 to deal with such torque.

Hope this helps.

Regards

Might be cheaper to trade the TD5 in for a new Disco3 !with the new TDv6!

TDV6, Specs
440nm
140kw

But who can afford one :?:

Speaking of which, has anyone from this forum ordered one :?:

more speed through the gears
120k and can still over take with ease

best $900 ever spent

if you need someone in Melb let me know
cheers

gday hiline I live in melbourne out in the west and a phone number would be good $850 sounds alot better, I guest my warranty may be a problem , Fuel economy better or not ,Dtronic 125kw and 360Nm yours 130kw and 400Nm cheers

Have look at the latest 4x4 Monthly mag #73. It has an article on the power upgrades for the Td5. The writer claims he was dusting off the hoons at lights. Gave huge increases in power and torque, with no change in the fuel economy.
