Well after purchasing my MY15 HSE 2 weeks ago privately with the 292bhp engine. I see it missed out by about 10 days on the engine tweek taking it to just over 300bhp and a whole 100nm of torques

Anyway my defender broke down the other day and Land Rover assistance lent me a MY15.5 dynamic

Both cars have 4000 miles on so when I started driving the dynamic straight away I thought "wow this has more zip than mine"

Anyway what was funny me and the wife ended up side by side at the traffic lights in both cars on the way back from work. So both in normal drive mode auto box we both gave them the beans upto the legal speed limit of 70mph and to my surprise both cars exactly neck and neck. If anything my HSE driven by my wife was slightly ahead.

I`ve since seen land rover do give both cars the same 0-60, but I think in the MY15.5 it does have shorter throttle response giving the impression it`s quicker. But then again I`m sure those extra ponies shouldn`t go unnoticed. I can remember having this in my 997 c2s with the sports chrono the switchable throttle response gave it a massive sense of more power

The only other observation is in normal driving mode my HSE is a more comfortable ride which is strange. I thought both cars rode the same unless you select dynamic driving mode

Stop pretending this happened by accident

seriously

So.....Basically your wife has a quicker response time than you Can I ask, is she a LOT younger than you  In Spain - 2018 F Pace - Frightened away from the Sports due to crank failures
Gone - A couple of RRS, A couple of Disco's. However thinking of another Sport.

Back to BHP, As I understand it, all the engines are the same, it's just a different ECU map. It was the same with the TDV6 and the SDV6, there was a 10 BHP gain with the SDV6. Unfortunately NONE of the Engine Tuners / Re Mappers have cared to comment on this.
I would have thought that one of the brighter ones (engine tuners) would have found a way of flashing the ECU with one of later / better Land Rover tunes  In Spain - 2018 F Pace - Frightened away from the Sports due to crank failures

Mikef , have you ever had any issues with landrover over the remap .

I guess there'll be somebody along soon to tell me that my L-R dealer's diagnostic equipment will pick up the remap instantly, my warranty will be voided and my gearbox will explode as a result of the extra torque. All I can tell you is this

From memory, I've had 4 BMWs, 2 Audis, a Merc and a L322 FFRR remapped by DMS before my current RRS and not once has a dealer told me that their diagnostic system has detected the remap. The only time my current RRS has been back to the dealer has been for various recalls to be dealt with and again no comment. Neither have I experienced any gearbox problems either nor come to that, any engine problems. FWIW I tend to sell at 3 yrs or less so I won't hear about any problems down the road of course

Yes of course I am theoretically voiding the warranty but no, so far, I've never had any warranty repairs refused as a result of the remap

Many thanks , pretty much as I thought .
The last car I had done was a p38 dhse a few years ago now by someone engineering , boy was it good , even on Tickover it just sounded right .
