Thread: TRICK UP 09 DEFENDER

I'm sure no-one has tricked up their new Defender engine whilst it's still under warranty! You're a brave soul if you do. Land Rover can be difficult at times if something goes wrong and it's discovered that you've modified the engine or drivetrain.

oh, AND THERE'S NO NEED TO SHOUT .

WHAT?? I'M GETTING A BIT HARD OF HEARING THESE DAYS

Seriously though, there were heaps of people that did various upgrades to the TD5 while it was under warranty. I don't see why the puma should be different.

I asked one of the mechanics one day about it and he said that as long as I didn't get the "wild" ecu upgrade no one would care. Just keep it subtle and preferably do mods that can be easily reverted if required.

We've chipped an SVX, goes very nice

What type of power can the puma produce?.Can it get near the Td5 numbers?. Pat

It is being done at least in the UK.

This mob are doing it: www.bellautoservices.co.uk

People are restoring the tune to standard before the vehicle goes for service and resetting it after.

You will find discussion on this on www.Defender2.net if you do a search using "BAS".

Ive chipped mine the dealer fitted it. Goes better than standard but I wouldnt say its a world beater

Anymore trouble out of the various valves and sensors on the puma motor and it will be coming out and LS7 in!!

you dont need to from what I have heard!!

I have heard that when the PUMA is put on the computer everything is reset including fuel maps......I was also told that they have done this to stop people mapping the engines.
