Gordon, is that a Tunit box? I've been looking at those and would be interested in your impressions when you fit it.

v6 will never get near the torque of the V8 and when the v8 is tuned !!

Its Torque that shifts a 2.5 tonne motor not just BHP

I have a chip (tuning box) to fit to my 2010 TDV6 - I haven't as yet as I haven't run it in yet, but it claims to boost torque to 690 NM, which is more than the std TDV8.

My remap is not long away now, it was ready but then LR decided to make a software update to all the cars for the poor performance issues some people are having so it was 2 months wasted and i had to start again

Just a few final temprature and emmisions related tests to finalise and im done.

Well I've had the Spider Tuning box fitted for a week now to my 2010 3.0L TDV6, so impressions are ...

It's _very_ quick

The power delivery just rockets on through the rev range. The box has a couple of adjustable parameters, but as is from the factory, no black smoke, no "engine failure", just an awful lot of usable power. The box claims torque of 690 NM and power of 200Kw. It's hard to judge subjectively, but that seems about right.

I now have the fuel consumption of a TDV8 however - although this might be more a function of my suddenly gaining weight in my right foot .....

One thing with the boxes is that the boost is available across all the terrain response maps, making 'sand mode' a real dune killer

Is the Spider box available in the UK and much does it cost.
It sounds like it's just the job.
do you know what the conversion from KW the BHP is please

200Kw = 268.2044Bhp so a gain of 23bhp and 90Nm.

and does your remap give more than 268bhp?

yes it will give more than a 23bhp gain. Follow Us On Twitter @bellautos

And can we use our old (pre 2010) interface boxes?

Hi Gordan, no sorry at this time the old BAS interface does not support the new Bosch ecus fitted on the new 3.0l cars.
