Need a Remap! Anyone Mobile?

Hi All,

Looking for someone mobile to remap my RRS.

Got used to the power now and need something more to bring a smile to my face

I live in Hertfordshire but work in Camden so either will do?

Advice/Recommendations appreciated. WINNER - 2009 Best in Class Range Rover Sport Award

I think you might be better off looking for a good tuning firm with premise and a rolling road that will remap the car properly rather than a Mobil ( here today and gone tomorrow) . Not sure of the name but I have heard of a good one in Southampton.

I'll second DMS. I've had various cars remapped by DMS including my current RRS. Well worth doing

Looking at the quoted DMS figures, I would take them with a pinch of salt...

That sounds a bit like professional jealousy. As I said I've had a number of cars including Mercs, BMWs, Audis, a L322 FFRR and a L494 RRS remapped by DMS and the outcome has always been a significant improvement in torque and power. Their remaps have been tested by enough motoring mags over the years (see Reviews) that they would have been exposed years ago if they were selling duds

You can choose to believe that or not. I have no connection with DMS other than being a satisfied customer over many years

Not jealous at all. Speaking from experience Thumbs Up

My own TDV6 D3 had a "lairy" remap on it, along with an enormous intercooler, decat, performance exhaust, silicone hoses. Essentially set up for big power. It made 239bhp on a well known and well respected dyno

That is 6bhp over the DMS claims. The additional modifications to the car made a huge difference to the car, not 6bhp worth, which would be barely noticeable Thumbs Up


Were the power outputs tested on DMS own dyno, or on an independent dyno?
The first dyno my own car went on made over 260bhp, then it went onto a recently calibrated dyno, and made 239bhp

There are many, many variables when it comes to quoted power outputs Wink

I would take dyno figures with a pinch of salt. No two rolling roads are alike. Some companies offer higher bhp figures than other as a gimmick just to drum up more business, but in reality, these figures aren't often reached due to many factors. It's all about driveability and how the car puts the performance down. And of course reliability.
Adam, I don't think you can get a mobile map for your model of RRS. It will have to have the ecu removed and mapped on the bench. Then any warranty left on your car, will be void should the worst happen and JLR notice the map. Big Cry
There are only a selected few I would trust mapping any vehicle of mine.
Good luck and keep us posted.

Spain 

My advice, have a word with Pete Bell at BAS, load of satisfied customers on here and the Disco 3 Forum etc, also talk to J E Engineering in Coventry, JE use to work hand in hand with Land Rover Engineering, they will give you honest info on BHP and Drivability. It's no use having 400 BHP at 5200 RPM, when normal fast driving may be around the 4000 RPM.
I state the above two as I have dealt with both of them Thumbs Up

Others worth considering would possibly be Alive Tuning, Disco Mikey raves about them. 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.

Have you had any of your DMS mapped cars on an independent dyno, to verify the claimed figures?

Have you dyno'd any DMS remapped cars? Happy to put my RRS SDV6 on a dyno against a standard SDV6 and see what the difference is. I'm as interested as anyone to know

Not unless you have another car there at the same time to compare.
