TobyMellin Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Evening! I've had my Defender TD5 mapped for about a year now, and the standard intercooler popped yesterday, so I've ordered an aluminium one. I was curious as to what boost pressure figures various tuners are using. Cheers! Toby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedLineMike Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Given its a defender with a remap I'd expect standard boost levels, normally the intercoolers fail due to deterioration rather than boost levels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Landrovernuts Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 I am going out this afternoon with my TD5 and trailer - I will take the Nanocom and let you know what it boosts to. As for my remap, I am not sure as it was done by a previous owner, but it goes like a scaled cat. Toby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Landrovernuts Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 As has been said above, there is no reason the boost pressure would have increased with the remap unless the wastegate has been tweaked. My Td5 normally boosted to 1 bar (14.5 psi) and giving it some welly up hill with a loaded trailer I very briefly saw 1.12 bar. This was on a Nanocom - I have no boost gauge. I think your intercooler just had enough! Toby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TobyMellin Posted April 21, 2017 Author Share Posted April 21, 2017 The tuner did adjust the wastegate with the tune, which I thought was pretty common with remapped TD5's. Hmm I am tempted to take the car to a different tuner and get another opinion. My car has the usual: Alumnium intercooler EGR removed Air filter Straight pipe It's still doesnt pull as well as my friends 15p that has been remapped though. Anyone recommend any tuners local to Manchester? Cheers Toby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedLineMike Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 I'm assuming your on Facebook? If you look up storm tuning, Dan should be able to help get you sorted out, They have been working extremely hard on shaking up the td5 tuning market which had become stale in recent times. Any issues drop me a pm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Landrovernuts Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 If it helps my engine is a 15P - not that I would think makes any difference for torque/power. I have a standard air filter and standard exhaust but do have the EGR removed and have a Serck motorsport intercooler fitted and runs boost pressures as above. As already mentioned it goes very well and pulls trailers with ease even with a discovery transfer box fitted. It does not smoke at all and when it was MOT'd, the tested couldn't even get a puff out of it (which supprised me to) and seems remarkably good on fuel - but then I had V8's before! Do you know what remap yours has had and what your friends has had as it may be unfair to compare if one is say a stage 1 and one a stage 2 for instance?
