It will fail regardless of engine tune at the time. So make it more powerful and enjoy the engine
When you did the black and silver badges what ones did you use on the C pillars? I need to replace mine
I ran my Synergy at #3. Was great to drive, lots of go but also quite a bit of smoke...
So currently I'm running around at #2 until I have made intercooler and exhaust changes.
Once I can monitor the EGT I will be happy to tweak things accordingly.

I Use mine on #7, and digibooster on low. Also there is a little smoke on hard acceleration, but only on first time, so i think that is a CAT/mufflers cleaning.
Need to see how it will work with new turbocharger and exhasut. My egt don't go over 350-400 deg @ 25-30 psi of boost
Anybody though about swapping the crank for the steel version fitted to some of the later BMW M47 engines? Seems like a sensible move if lots of power is going to be made.
Nodge - Do you have any information on the differences between the M47 engine variants?
I've tried to search this, however like a lot of information on the internet, I took what I found with a pinch of salt...
From what I found the "M47T" looked to be the motor they increased the stroke to give a larger capacity and obviously better power output.
This was what led me to wonder if I could use an M47T Short engine, with the Freelander Spec. "M47R" Cylinder Head, Turbo etc to build a hybrid motor with larger capacity and I'd imagine a stronger bottom end?
Or maybe I'm barking up the wrong tree...

A little bit pointless. Going higher than 160-170 hp in a FL will cause other elements to failure (clutch, IRD, gearbox)
