Land Rover Defender Engine Performance

We have the ability to totally transform the heart and soul of your vehicle using Alive Tuning remaps.

Land Rover Defender Engine Performance


We are partnered with Alive Tuning and can remap your Defender with their tailored maps. Their remapping solutions are based on extensive testing and development, focusing on enhancing engine output while ensuring the engines are not overly stressed. The process involves modifying the engine control unit (ECU) settings to improve various aspects of vehicle performance.

Typical benefits of remapping include increased power output, improved fuel efficiency, and enhanced throttle response. The exact results vary depending on the specific Land Rover model and engine type. We can provide detailed information on expected performance gains for individual vehicles upon request.

Typical gains on the TD5 model are:

  • Stage 1: Typically raises power to around 150-155 BHP with torque in excess of 350Nm
  • Stage 2: Consists of a Remap/Intercooler that will take you to around 170-180 BHP with torque of around 390-400Nm
  • Stage 3: With the rest of the Alive tuning products including a hybrid turbo or VNT turbo will give the ultimate TD5 experience delivering well over 230bhp and around 450Nm of torque

We also offer remaps for Puma Defenders, Puma Defenders typically don't need any extra mods for a stage 1 remap, but for an extra performance boost or a stage 2 remap our recommendation is an up-rated intercooler and sports exhaust. We supply and fit all necessary extra modifications should you desire, please get in touch with our team to discuss.
