Jaguar XFS remap/turbos

[ossy2004]

Hey folks,

Warranty almost up with the XFS and thinking getting it remapped.

Don't know too much about these engines still but wanting to improve the performance abit and possibly improve the mpg.

Coming from the 535d that gave me the common turbo failure on the small turbo (60k), I'm wondering if the xf twin turbos are alot more reliable?

The car has 94k full jaguar history and not wanting any problems with the pricey turbo units failing if put under more pressure.

What do they map too without touching the dpf?

Cheers,
Joe

I had mine 'mapped' - well when I say mapped I had a decent tuning box on it. Went well with it on, was around 320bhp apparently. Nobody in northern ireland could tune it, but one crowd told me they "would give it a go" which i declined lol. Maps in England from a well known crowd are £1000, but that was 2-3 years ago things may have moved on.

Popped into autotune ballymena there, not sure of guys name usually deal with ryan etc but he claims they can map them and standard pricing.

Ryan off today so limited info.

It can be done now it seems

Is that the 3.0? The 3.0 engine as used in the XF and landrovers still needs the ECU opened to be mapped I think

I would tend to leave well enough alone

Got speaking to ryan at auto-tune and he did confirm the ECU needs to be taken out for mapping, not overly a big deal espically to these boys they were flat out doing others today by the looks of it!

Why?

Never a fan of the tuning boxes as most seemed like cheap eBay keek... What was yours?

PM me details on prices etc if you don't mind please

 

[Wild Thing]

you put a s hit e map on and blow it. Thats why

 

[ossy2004]

Had plenty maps done over the years by auto-tune and never any issues.

 

[Wild Thing]

when you start tuning its a gamble so if you are happy thats the main thing, but when all goes wrong you generally are on your own.

 

[ossy2004]

Are you specifically talking about auto-tune or tuning in general here lol

 

[Wild Thing]

I am talking about mapping in general, why do you think I would have an issue with auto-tune?

 

[swansty]

I would read up on an xf specific forum as there is bound to be more experience and feedback there. See what the general consensus is on maps and power and reliability.

They done my first RRS 2010 which was the 3.0 TDV6 engine.

Ecu out job but no drama

And the only people currently who claim they have a reliable proven map for the F Pace engine is dms who do a lot of high end cars through momentum over here.

But it's £1200 plus vat for a map from them

Blue spark, you can get 5% off codes from some forums. Was about £240

Jees don't start the auto tune haters again .had good bit done by them and defo would trust ryan 100%

 

[Big Pimp]

I trust Ryan 100% myself. Have for years

Was on another jag forum and wasn't a lot of info on it from what I read, so I asked here. Il have another looksie

more expensive than a map, but suppose that wasn't the case when you had yours.

On the plus side suppose you can disconnect it and sell on?

I'm pretty sure Superchips Bluefin works for these but you'll still need to have the ECU unlocked (by them in this case) and I think the closest dealer for them is down south.

It's about £400 and you can look at the graphs on their site (specific to your car), so you can see what to expect. If you went that route then I'd still take it to a rolling road afterwards to get everything double checked for peace of mind.

Now £280 on their website
