Interested. Did you get anywhere with this? |

Hi, I did it 3 months ago, everything is ok, I also activated park assist and many others. I recommend Venture, Ste is a special guy. I forgot, it can be done remotely..https://www.venture-automotive.co.uk/ It is not a remap but a factory upgrade, the engine is identical |

The engine is the same but the cooling etc is upgraded by Landrover for the more powerful version. Defiantly taking a chance doing this. |

Hello, do you have any additional data? It's a bit hard to believe that LR designed the cooling differently. I haven't encountered any increases in the temperature of the coolant. It's only a 50 hp increase |

If it's done remotely, how is it not a remap? Even putting JLR's settings from the D350 in to the D300's ECU is mapping it. If they changed physical components then one could see the argument that it's a "factory upgrade", but they don't, so how is it not a remap?

It’s a common misconception that the D350 is ‘just’ changes to the ECU. As others have alluded to, there are many physical component differences and given historical challenges with Ingenium engines and longevity, this is a massive gamble. |

I'm intrigued. Can anyone share the data and evidence of the physical component and adjustments between the D300 and D350 engine and auxiliary components?

The same engine has three outputs - 250, 300, 350 - doesn't it? How would a manufacturer have that range of outputs without making changes somewhere? The only way would be to build them all as 350 units and then "de-map" the lower output units. That would be an expensive way of doing things because the lower power outputs sell for quite a bit less.

Thanks for the above. Helpful on the D250 and D300. I'm still trying to establish the facts on the D300 to D350.

I would imagine D300 to D350 would be similar. Added cooling for the higher stressed engine and probably the gearbox as well. As I've said, unless youre towing, or a boy racer, you're unlikely to stress the engine any more than the D300 in normal driving. |
