Hello Ian......... Not as far as know its only the motors that have chips with everything ...... I believe there is a certain amount of tweaking can be done though.

Well I for one certainly arn't brave enough. Polishing the rad cap is pushing it with these engines and as you say Frank the std power is almost too much for the handling, particularly if you can't resist having a pop at a Tart Cart (BMW X5) _________________ Alwin

Well Boys!!
Frank is right as this is nearly 30% increase in power.............yes you sould easily get this out of the 3.0l......It is a very sophisticated engine..............However.....sophisticated it may be, strong it ain't and boosting the power will almost certainly increase the engine temperature as it will naturally be working harder, and we all know what heat does!!
I keep my engine below 2500 rpm on motorways in the hope of preserving it and that gives 70 mph.
Tuning?.......dont go there!!
Regards
David |
