The Land Rover Range Rover TDV8 engine has to be one of our favorite engines to tune. It is a milestone for Diesel engines, providing levels of refinement and performance previously unheard of. Its quiet and composed at low speeds but rumbles like a petrol V8 under load. We have two staff members with TDV8 powered Range Rovers and time after time they’re asked… ‘is this a petrol?’… No it isn’t.. it’s a JR Tuned TDV8!
So lets talk numbers. The Range Rover TDV8 ships with 267bhp and 640Nm torque. That’s enough for an 8.6sec sprint to 62mph in a Range Rover Sport and gives reasonably strong in-gear pull. It’s a good engine from factory we must admit… but… as always, there is room to improve and in the case of the TDV8 there is a lot of room to improve. This engine has been de-tuned by a shocking 70bhp and 160Nm! We can guess why, a JR Tuned TDV8 will give a 4.2 SuperCharged petrol a run for its money. Simple product placement and marketing meant Land Rover needed to turn the wick down on this unit. Nobody would accept a 4.2 S/C doing 12-15mpg when the TDV8 could perform the same or better and achieve 24-30mpg depending on driving style.
Quite simply the results from tuning a Range Rover or Range Rover Sport TDV8 are amazing. The extra power is only the half of it, the sharper response and earlier spool of the turbos transform the way the Range Rover drives. Peak gains are approaching 200Nm at certain RPM producing in-gear overtaking power which is simply mind blowing. Remapped torque figures from the TDV8 are even greater than the new 5.0 S/C petrol engine. Your looking at 800Nm peak with 750Nm on-tap from a mere 1600rpm!
