LRRRV8 Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 Hi all, I have recently purchased a 2002 Discovery TD5 with approx 50k miles on the clock. I have read about chip power upgrades and would welcome your views on whether it's worth installing one? I have concerns about reliability and whether the quoted power increases can be achieved? Thanks in advance...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BogMonster Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 Welcome The ECU upgrades seem popular though I don't have any direct experience of them save for a quick drive in a 110 fitted with such an upgrade and it did make quite a difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poacher Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 I can recommend them, definately notice the difference in TD5's. You'll have a great big grin on your face!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saley Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 I chipped my TD5 90 what a difference i was told it puts 40ish bhp and 75ish lbs of torque it goes like the clappers and its better on fuel when driven normally and towing is a lot easier need a 1-2 transfer box now highly recomended Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JST Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 Saley - i have a 1.2 T box if you want it (£75) my td5 has a JE replacement ecu as it was an early non flashable chip. very please with it. my advice on a flashable ecu would be to go for the autologic upgrade. my old man is running this set up in his 03MY disco and what a difference, mpg up as well. good £££ per Bhp as well. far better than the plug in options in my opinion as i doesnt just add more fuel but works in conjunction with all the other sensors on the vehicle.
