I suppose there could be a programme inside I just don't see how something that fits between the fuel rail sensor and the fuel rail be anything different to a standard tuning box. Is there anywhere that explains the digital programme ? |

I would have to agree that any box, be it analogue or digital, can only have the same effect when plugged into the fuel rail. Like a posh digital volume control on your Bang & Olufsen stereo, it simply turns up the volume and an analogue version will sound exactly the same as a digital, achieving the same result by a slightly different method.

The question is: is it posiible to remap a MY11 FR2 without ripping the ECU? Aren't these a EDC17 controlled units? If so - there is for now no way to do it through a diagnostic cable. You would have to take the ECU out of the car, which will leave obvious signs, so the warranty would be voided... |

got to agree, drove the Mrs's autobox '09 on wednesday, in real life it cruised down the M62 at an indicated 90mph delivering 32 mpg, and just to please the lad I used the Sport mode and command shift on the A and B roads and we had no problem overtaking anything we wanted to and stayed well within the dynamics of the chassis, if you want to blow people away from the lights in town stick it in sand mode and use command shift, you will be surprised 2009 GS Auto Zermatt Silver - Sold June 21 after 10 years of ownership 2016 Subaru Outback SE 2.0 diesel SE Premium Lineartronic Sold 2024 after 8 years and 80k miles .

I didn't re-map mine to make it go like a sports car, I did it as it just makes the car so much more pleasurable to drive. Less effort, more torque.

Bluefin does not have a remap for the 150bhp engine available at the moment. I received an e mail from them last week informing me that they are currently working on the remap and would e mail when available. |

I have a friend who has remapped his auto Freelander, mainly to give extra torque for towing. I think the company is Celtic tuning, or something like that. My pal is away just now, so i can't ask him. Anyway, they are in Cornwall somewhere. He has a thing like a gameboy to plug in the diagnostic socket, and you can load or unload the remap or standard version, as you like, just by a few button presses. |

Why do so many people assume you want to go 'faster'? It is about driveability with a vehicle like a freelander. I have not remapped my freelander but have done other vehicles and the difference can be night and day!

Mav71 seems switched on on this...although my slight difference in opinion is that Bluefin isn't the way to go. Go to a professional custom mapper, JE is one of them, and they remap each car individually. Bluefins are just plugged into Superships' computer and downloaded with a standard map. Your engine may have certain characteristics an 'identical' car might not and a custom mapper can work with these and get more out of an individual engine, with more care.

Pre-face lift Freelander 2 ECU's do not have the facility to log a down load. Facelift cars will and the latest edition of Freelander due at the end of the year will also log specific parameters being stretch over the standard, ie fuel pressure and boost etc.
