Pacey Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Hi guys, I'm in a predicament, I want to get a bit more power out my 90. Its got an Ali sport full size inter cooler, VNT from Pete at BELL and straight through exhaust along with EGT removal. The only thing i've not had do is remap. My problem is I live in the channel islands and Bell who I would prefer to use are up in York. On top of a £200 ferry bill its a 5/6 hour drive so a few tanks of fuel plus the cost of the tune and the reverse journey and accommodation. Is there any body down south that people would trust to do a good tune? Or am I just gonna have to get saving? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landroversforever Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 from what I've heard on here... IRB developments seems to have very good reviews. Ian, AKA. Porny on here is the guy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M&S Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 TD5 Alive use "agents" I think, I know our local independant can do tuning with them from a distance (over the internet I guess??). Might be worth giving them a call and seeing if they can do something similar for you? http://www.td5alive.com/acatalog/Td5_ECU_Remapping.html PS - not had this done, just what I have been told. I'm sure someone will correct me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 IIRC Buryas Bridge Garage just west of Penzance will do tuning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pacey Posted February 26, 2010 Author Share Posted February 26, 2010 I looked at IRB, but there up in York as well lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petethepilot Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Send that ECU of yours via mail to Gary at Alive tuning! You won´t be disappointed... Or if you or some friend of yours has a Nanocom, upload your .se1- file and send it as an email attachment to Gary and he will send you a tuning file which you can then download to your car. Your car has to have the newer programmable NNN500020 ECU though. Otherwise only via mail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henk Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 If you ask all these suppliers where they get their maps from, you mostly end-up with Pete... So buy an extra ECU on Ebay or at your local breaker and send it to him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orange Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Ian at IRB is near Sutton Coldfield, so not as far as you thought, but still not exactly a quick 'pop over to the mainland'... Definitely worth ringing him (and/or others) as the flash-able ECUs can be done by post. Using next day delivery it could mean only a few days without your truck... However....... There is onething against the postal option.... When I took my Disco up to Ian, he ran a check on all of the injectors etc to make sure they were all functioning properly before the tune. Then on the test-run after the remap, we drove around with the computer plugged in to make sure there were no ill effects. You may even find that Ian may volunteer to meet you somewhere. It was certainly an option when I spoke to him. As long as you are buying lunch, I'm sure he could be convinced... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GL88 Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 With all the work you have already had done from a range of different suppliers I think that an 'off the shelf' map won't give optimum results. Really you need fine adjustments on a dyno to make the most of them all. That means someone with a dyno who can design and programme the maps.

Grant. Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Would speak to Ian(porny) at IRB developments (www.irbdevelopments.com) he will definately sort it out, I am one very truly happy customer, and I garantee you will be amazed at what he can make a td5 do! Especially with a vn turbo and big intercooler( alisport ones small compared to the ones he fits!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
