Interesting to hear your thoughts on the 405.

Something must have been wrong. I found the 4.4 L405 to be quicker & more responsive than my 3.6 and that had a BAS remap. |

I've recently upgraded from 3.6 L322 to 4.4 L405 and the performance is much better, it is alot smoother and quieter though so could give false impression.

My 3.6 VSE ( remapped) felt much quicker than both my remapped 4.4 tdv8 and my current 4.4 sdv8 ( standard for now ). I dont know whether its because the 3.6s turbo set up is different to the sequential set up of the 4.4 but the 3.6 definitely had a much quicker feel to it. Just my humble opinion 2015 4.4 AB

Not having driven your car I can't compare, but I thought the 4.4SDV8 in sport mode offered pleasing overtaking performance, certainly well ahead of the standard 3.6 TDV8. Have you considered a 5.0SC? It's maybe a bit pricy, but the Pentland website shows a 2019 5.0 SC Dynamic that you might like to test drive (if you can find some clear road in that area) to see if that sort of thing would do.

Again , just my opinion but its more of a feeling vs actual performace figures. Anyone ( including other FFRR drivers of L405 and L322 persuasion) who rode in my 3.6 were surprised at the feeling of power from it. It had a remap and when i first test drove a few 4.4 TDV8s i was disappointed at the lack of that feeling. Maybe its the gearing of the 8 speed box as opposed to the 6 speed but even after i had my 4.4 TDV8 remapped it never had the urgency of the 3.6. My 4.4 SDv8 isnt slow and much quicker than a 3.0 L405 that i drive regularly but it doesnt have the feeling of my 3.6.

I've got a lovely 998 in the garage, and yes, I understand where you are coming from. Whilst my 4.4 is a nicer place to sit, it doesn't feel quicker than the 3.6. |

Not quite sure about some of the above comments, but I have had a JE remapped 3.6, a 4.4TDV8 and a 4.4 SDV8 in the latest RR. The JE 3.6 was just below the performance of a std 4.4 TDV8 and the 405 SDV8 absolutely mops the floor with all of them - perhaps some air filters need changing in the other vehicles as there definitely appears to be some poor performance issues 2021 L405 Vogue SE 4.4 V8 DIESEL ~ #17 |
