2.2 D
Increase from 121 BHP to 145 BHP and from 360 Nm to 432 Nm — without ECU remapping.
STEINBAUER performance module for the Land Rover Defender 2.2 D, designed to provide increased power and torque while retaining the original ECU programming and factory engine safeguards.
Key benefits
- Up to +25% power and torque increase, depending on application.
- No ECU software overwrite — the STEINBAUER system works alongside the original engine management.
- Injection duration module developed to add performance without generic one-size-fits-all mapping.
- Removable solution that can be removed if required.
- Application-specific development for the individual engine and vehicle or machine application.
- Efficiency — More usable torque can help the vehicle pull strongly at lower engine speeds with less throttle demand, which may support improved fuel efficiency in suitable driving conditions.
Actual fuel consumption depends on vehicle load, operating conditions, terrain and driving or operating style.
