Tuning the 2.1 TD

Post by mark21TD »

Has anyone tuned there 2.1 TD, if so is it a remap, plug in box or machanical and what where the results.
If it's a remap or plug in How much and where.
I was thinking of a boost valve and an increass in main and boost fueling (I've done this on my 405) but the lucas EPIC pump has so much electronic gubins I don't know if this can be done.

The 406 2.1TD is ECU controlled so you can get it remapped to about 140bhp. I've been looking into this, and if you google '406 remap ecu' or similar there are loads of companies who do it all over the country. Costs between £250 and £400 seemingly depending where you go.

There's also a thread on 205GTiDrivers forum about a guy dropping one of these lumps into his 205 or 405 and then he's gonna tune it up. I'm keeping an eye on that thread too.
