UPS Germany is too slow! 12 hours from Britain to Frankfurt, Germany, three days from Frankfurt to Stuttgart. With a little peace of luck it will arrive tomorrow morning. I will let you know.  RRS TDV6 HSE, 2006, bonatti grey, ebony interior, rear diff, s/c grille and vents, stormers, privacy, tasmods, iphone integration

It hypothetically took 5 days to Switzerland

Hypothetically worth the wait '08 RRS TDV8
I converted my diesel RRS to run on an environmentally friendly mixture of caribou fat and baby seals oil

Well, since CH is not member of the EU that's actually quite fast. If I order something from outside the EU it sometimes takes 40 days until the customs inform me they have something and I shall come to take it! So, five days is okay, I'd say, and I hope it was due to customs and not due to UPS.

If I would hypothetically have ordered it friday I hope it should come today and I hope there would be some neighbour to take it. I'll check during my lunch brake and let you know...  RRS TDV6 HSE, 2006, bonatti grey, ebony interior, rear diff, s/c grille and vents, stormers, privacy, tasmods, iphone integration

I recon it will/should/is be out for delivery by now

Do you do a chip for the 4.2SC? If so what are the stats, and price?

I thought the best way to boost an S/C was to fit a bigger pulley, chipping is not as effective. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Also in my garage is a 1996 TDi300 Defender 90 County HT made into a fake CSW

saw this on the web:

supercharged version of the engine with a sports high-performance header, sports metal catalytic converters and a sports rear muffler installed and capable of delivering up to 475bhp at 5,740 rpm and the maximum torque of 610 Nm at 3,500 rpm.

Anything is possible but money is needed. I believe HAMANN offer this tuning.

Or wait for the 2010 model and enjoy 5.0 S/C

The pulley kit's the way forward with the SC, but it's not cheap.

HI
I have mapped the SC quite a few times but only for friends.

Ive not proven the figures i got from the car on a dyno so at this moment im not in a possision to offer the tuning to the public.

It is on my list of to doos time depending.

Im still working 6 days a week on the TDV6 defender im building so time is a problem at the moment.
I will post as soon as ive been on the dyno with the final figures.

It definitely was worth the wait!

First of all a little thank you to UPS whom I blamed for being slow but in the end they were very fast: Delivery attempt at 5.30 pm, unfortunately nobody was home, but I could pick it up at 7 pm in their headquarters!


But now the important things:
The instructions given on Pete's website are very clear and easy to understand, the interface and the concerning software are too, so even I could do it on my own!
(For everybody as blind as me: the link to the software is in the instructions pdf! )

Pete answered my mail very fast and soon he did send me the tuned file which I installed yesterday morning (that's why I haven't been online yesterday ) and the difference is unbelievable. The first 10km/h from standing are still not as fast as in the TDV8, the engine is just too small for that weight, but from then on up to 190 km/h (I didn't have the chance to test how fast it really can go, I had to little time and there was too much traffic on the Autobahn - I'll tell you this detail next week ) it is unbelievably fast. It feels just like another engine.
If I drive around in town and there is some reason for a quick acceleration, just a little push on the trottle is necessary and the RRS jumps forward as if it would only have half the weight! It's really incredible!

I almost don't dare to say but it really feels as fast as a standard TDV8 (in some speed-regions even faster, especially between 20 and 60 km/h; from 120 km/h on the TDV8 feels very slow in my eyes, the remapped TDV6 doesn't) ! Maybe it isn't really as fast but at least it feels like that and this is the important thing to me!

And: still no smoke, even at full throttle (maybe thanks to the overpriced Aral Ultimate Diesel which the Lady drinks at the moment)!

I am so happy with this, this is really some incredible peace of work! Pete you are the greatest!


I've always kept saying, the diesel engines used in the Range Rover Sport are two of the best engines ever built. Even in standard the TDV6 is as fast at the lights as a Q7 which weights 500 kg less and has about 40 bhp more, at the same time the sound of the TDV6 is less "dieselish" and the mpg is (regarding the weight of the car) also better than in most other six cylinder diesel engines, also it doesn't smoke much even without DPF. But with this remap, the engine really becomes so close to perfect! All the good things haven't changed but the power is now so immens, it really is great fun to drive, the car should be delivered like this from LR!
If it would sound like the TDV8 now, my life would be perfect , I really can understand the enthusiasm of the guys with a remapped TDV8, this car must be absolutely astonishing!


I can't say anything about mpg yet, of course. This week it will be very, very low, I guess, due to the driving style. So I will start measuring the mpg from next week on and tell you in a few weeks.


So, long story told shortly: Pete you are the best!
Always friendly (even when I'm mailing late at night, I believe his latest mail was 0.30 am!), incredibly fast, everything just perfect and when it comes to remapping you really do your job great! Thank you is all I can say!




PS: Of course, this was a test done on somebody elses car, I would never remap my engine due to legal and warranty reasons. However if I did I could tell you because I'm sure nobody in my dealership speaks English or does even know something like "the web" with "forums" could exist!  RRS TDV6 HSE, 2006, bonatti grey, ebony interior, rear diff, s/c grille and vents, stormers, privacy, tasmods, iphone integration

So, you don't really care for the remap then McBunny

Good job you haven't been waiting all excited only to be let down....

Well done Pete, sounds like you have a new fan!  Current: I can't say...Oh the Shame!
