Land Rover and Range Rover Performance Tuning

Roverworks can performance tune the engine in your Land Rover or Range Rover, as well as a wide range of European makes. Also known as “chipping” or “flashing”, this is a process that involves changing the firmware in your engine control unit to give your car more grunt. A lot of the Land Rovers, like the Defender, are very conservatively tuned so they can operate on a range of fuels in other countries that are not as developed as Australia. You can get quite a bit more power, and excellent improvements in torque out of your engine. If you fancy an extra 30 KW or so and around 70 NMs of torque on your Discovery 3 or Discovery 4 or Defender Puma, this is for you.

For example we recently tuned a Defender 90 with a 2.2 Puma diesel in it. The car went from 90 KW and 360 NM to 120 KW and 430 NM. This turned the car from ordinary into something that has the owner smiling weeks after, when he can get the keys off his son. The beauty of a diesel is that full power is around the 2500-3500 rpm range, which is where you normally drive it, every trip. So, 120KW full power that you experience when you put your foot down in top gear to overtake up a hill, does make a difference. The extra torque (which you have to love diesels for anyway) makes it pull much harder. The problem with petrol cars that are rated with full power at 7000rpm or so is that with normal driving you NEVER get to that theoretical power unless you are a bit of a hoon. As a rule, the higher performance petrol engines are not as much of an increase as the diesels.

Cost is $1450, and it’s same day in, and out smiling ear to ear. Take a look at the list below for a guide on how your car will improve. There are no strap on modules or wires, it’s all software. You don’t have to wait weeks for something to come from the other side of the earth, which may or may not work. Give us a call on 02 6241 8777 and we will make it happen.
