Another chip tune we have completed is on a 1999 Land Rover 10p Td5 engine.
These feature an MSB ECU, where a physical chip change is needed.
Stage 1 tune applied to the new chip, which gives it a lot more low down torque, important for when towing or off roading. The added benefit is that the traction control system works a lot earlier than standard.
A vehicle health check was completed as standard, no serious fault codes found.
Standard Td5 in Discovey guise produce:
136bhp and 221lb ft for manual, 250lb ft in auto’s
but with age and mileage this can decrease, our stage 1 map should produce an extra 30 to 35bhp and 45-50lb ft.
But as with all TD5’s always inspect the red plug for oil contamination, comon fault from the injector harness leaking.
Another option for 10p engines, is to have a 15p NNN coded to your vehicle, so it can be tuned via OBD rather than having a chip change, and you’ll also then have a spare ecu,useful if the vehicle is sold at a later date.
