2014 Defender 90 Puma 2.2 XS CSW Corris Grey

2.2 remap

[list=]
I'm wanting to remap my 14 plate 90 2.2 so I have more power for towing as its all I do. I'm skeptical as to the problems it could cause me. Basically I'm worried I ruin my engine. Because I live miles from alive tuning and all the obvious ones I'm thinking of going to the performance Center in Sunderland. They have a 4x4 dyno and say they have done 2.2 defenders before but not loads of them. Do you think it's a sensible thing to do to a new car? Should I be going somewhere different for the remap? Thanks oh and I'm new to this forum by the way [/list]

Bas is in York which isn't too far away and comes very highly recommended. If you do a search on here then you'll see what I mean Ray

I had my 13 plate 2.2 mapped by Pete Bell of BAS in York

As he has such a good knowledge of the 2.2 he is one of the very few that I would trust with the work.

You beat me to it Ray

Cheers I'll give them a ring. They are more expensive but I'd rather do it right first time. Can you feel the difference in your 2.2? Is it worth spending the money? Cheers for the help

The BAS remap makes a lot of difference to the way the 2.2 drives

Thanks I'm getting it done in the next few weeks if all goes well. Can anyone tell me if the remap will wear any parts and what parts? I've heard it has an affect on the Turbos in a bad way?

Not heard that one before for a Puma engined Defender but I have heard it about TD5's that have been mapped to within an inch of their lives.

I expect if you have a dodgy back street remap done you may have issues but a remap from one of the reputable suppliers on this forum should not really cause any issues as they will work well within the vehicles capability.

I would raise this question with whoever you decide to go with to get the correct answer and peace of mind (hopefully).

Guys, did the remap make any difference to your insurance premium

Ken - in a word NO

Marginal difference on insurance, mainly an admin cost if I remember correctly.

2012 Defender 90 Puma 2.2 HT Firenze Red

Had my puma remaped by Pete at BAS!! Now covered 11000 miles and a lot of smiles.

Turned it into a torque monster and pulls all the way to 4000 rpm. When remaped you will realise how pathetic the 2.2 engine is in standard tune.
