Id guess so, it has an ECU right?

 

Yeah its a 2002 2.8 turbo, supposed to be 106 hp but quite a bit flat

I got mine re-mapped for better management of the engine for towing chippers around with a load, less strain less wear. its now a 116 or 118 i think its somewhere on here.

Might have to look into something... i mean its ok but i know it should be better! has been serviced, new t belt, new fuel tank after ripping the bottom out of the old one! and fuel filters to boot!

 

Old ldv 2.5td pulls like a strong un!!

Guys this thread is very current on my mind too. I have a 2005 landcruiser and it's egr valve constantly sticks. My dealer says not to replace the valve as new ones clog too; so a friend of mine who is an aeronautical engineer, advised me to bypass or blank the egr valve and cat/SPF and get a remap.

 

The former get rid of the soot, so better for your engine, and the remap can be done to solely improve fueling, ie remove pre main fueling and after fueling, both of which is said to improve fuel economy, but in reality is just to clean burn.

 

I think this tier legislation has gone too far. Were now expected to purchase complex engines, which are costly to buy and service, but like my landcruiser, actually produce more soot.

 

I like the idea of add blue, but hate egr tech.

 

I can't get a remap just yet, but I believe the dealers will have it in a dew weeks.

I can't wait!

Yeah this is interesting for me too as I've just bought a Transit 90. It's fine but I am concerned about a full load and chipper weight on hills etc.

I noticed that vantuner.com do a postal service so I'll use that if I can find anyone local.
