V50 2.0d tuning
Hi all,
I know it's not a performance car but I would like to get more out of it. I've got a V50 2.0d 136bhp version. I know a remap is the best way to gain poerformance but I would like more than that, maybe hitting the 200bhp mark if possible. Any info on the best route to take would be greatly appreciated. Here's a quick shot of the car in question: Ben |

difficult this one, sure a diesel expert will pop along but as you said remap. probably look at induction and getting some air in there.
Probably better keeping an eye out for a D5 really.

200BHP is a push on these but can get D5ish figures -
Approx 170Bhp/400Nm Can't quite recall if that involves deleting the DPF but DPF delete and EGR delete (with blanking plate) are quite commonly done on these cars.

The 2.0d feels fairly rapid in standard tune thanks to torquey delivery, so 'even' aiming for the 170bhp (and associated torque increase) should reap benefits.
Take a look at Shark Performance: http://www.sharkperformance.co.uk/vo...-0/remaps-6327 Out of interest, what springs and dampers are you running (stance looks good)?
