Some defender questions.

[Jamespepperpot]

Did the centre silencer make much difference noise wise? How does it do for the performance?.

 

Took the centre silencer off my TD5 and it didn't really make it much louder just made it sound nicer! I wouldn't say it did much to performance though

HI JAMES it will do if you remap it high hp mate thanks jon

Be careful with the remaps though, the best place is Diesel performance tuning and economy remap chip tuning for Landrover Defender Discovery TD5 Puma TDV6 TDV8 , there are others around but this is the only one i would personally use, and we race/compete in them.....

 

Also another mod people do is turning up the fuel pump, which will make it go faster, but you will be kicking out some serious black smoke....

 

My opinion if you ant something quicker, but a hilux etc, defenders are a lifestyle and should be allowed to struggle, gasp, and judder...its a land rover thing

Only if you muck it up or don't set it right with the diaphragm, star wheel and 'smoke screw' on the top all done together. I've got mine set quite high. It's a dream to drive and only the odd little puff of black smoke setting off or when trying to accelerate hard from low revs

If you tweaked all of the pump correctly you'll see pre-turbo pickup a bit better. Do it as not set it matched with each component will see lots of black smoke = too much fuel. I get some pulling off quickly in first but ideally your looking for a bit of haze under full load acceleration. The pump tweak really brings the 300tdi to life.

 

Noise wise, it is quite a lot louder but sound nice! ( for a diesel) and a slight increase in performance! Biggest performance increase is fuel pump tune. Massive difference off turbo pick up and even noticeable pick up difference on turbo! Do get the odd dark haze but generally think I set it correctly
