Is a remap worth it on the Land Rover Discovery Iv Lr4 2009?
A worthwhile remap. The gain is clearly felt on the road, especially in the mid-range where the torque increase lands.
What each stage needs
| Stage | Power | Torque | Hardware |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | 241 bhp | 599 Nm | None |
| Stage 1 | 307 bhp | 705 Nm | Software only |
| Stage 2 | 307 bhp | 705 Nm | Uprated intercooler, high-flow intake, sports catalyst |
Risk on this engine: medium
- High 27% gain: substantial stress on turbo(s) and fuel system.
- Diesel: no knock risk. Primary risks are EGT, turbo health, and injector wear.
How to keep the risk down
- Uprated intercooler strongly recommended.
- Full engine health check required.
- Verify fuel pump condition.
- Monitor EGT under hard driving: sustained temps above 700 C accelerate turbo wear.
- DPF (if fitted) will accumulate soot faster: ensure it is in good condition.
- Keep a copy of the original ECU file before flashing.
