hi guys

being a new disco owner i wondered what u guys thought about tuning boxes, i.e. the synergy or getting the engine chipped

wondering what u guys favour please

do u think it actually improves the running of the engine

thks guys
 
I dunno 'bout the D3 but "add-on" boxes would seem to do nothing but increase the injector "on time" giving an apparent boost in performance but severely damaging the fuel economy figures.
The best way would be to have the ECU remapped to improve overall performance. I don't know if Mike from Dynachip does the D3, I don't see why not.
It's worth a call to ask him.

thks, i was pleased with the synergy on my td4 but know the discos are a different beast

mine does around 27mpg and to be honest wouldn't wish that to drop dramatically

is having a full service inc both diffs, transfer box , on weds so that will be a good place to start , lol

waiting for it to stop raining so i can do my egr bypass kit, this should be fun working on my first v6

the map sensor was blocked solid so god knows what the pipes are like , think it will help the smooth running of the engine
 
My TD5 came with a box fitted, total rubbish! I think most people find the same thing, they cost a lot, but used ones on eBay are peanuts!
Id concentrate on getting her up to scratch before attempting any mods.

agree i'm going to do an egr blank first , the map sensor was blocked solid

as i know if the engine isn't sound fitting any tuning device will make it worse

was pleased with the synergy box on my td4 but this engine is a totally different design
