TD5 power upgrades
Xtremeteam:
i could supply you a dastek powerplug if you wish direct from work (dastek)
if you have any questions either contact myself on 0845 3454045 or contact D44 as they are also an dastek powerplug distributer

Give Gary a shout, and stay away from plug in boxes!
Bush Tucker Man:
Perhaps I'm misssing the point here.
But...
There's surely not going to be any (of the advertised) increase in top speed - rather unnecessary in these times of congestion & revenue increasing devices (speed cameras),
As (let's say?) 3500RPM in 5th gear is still 3500RPM with or without extra power.
If the increase in power available is simply used to overcome the aerodynamic drag (not often a phrase associated with a Defender :lol: ) in order to attain the theoretical maximum speed, fair enough, but to increase the speed a raise in gearing is required.
Yes, I know
Most people have their ECU chipped/re-written in order to maximise the Torque/BHP output, but the speed factor always seems flawed (to me) without changing the gearing
Having said that, I'd like to try a chipped/over-driven 110 to see how it compares to mine.
So, if there's anyone near me with one :wink:
Jake:
Go for a Dastek chip
I drove a Td5 Disco without one to Donnington last weekend
We fitted one for the ride home and it made a considerable difference to performance.
Highly recomended bit of kit
Also you could fit a performance filter for higher air flow and a custom exhaust system
And dont forget a nice big inter cooler

I'd personally consider remapping over plug-in boxes for a couple of reasons.
TBH as well, if you're after flattening up the torque curve, changing the exhaust will make very little difference (seen the dyno results from J/LR). Save the cash for a better intercooler and remap.
.....and making sure the EGR works properly :wink:
Just my tuppence
