New - Land Rover V8 4.4 now reprogrammable at Shiftech

Shiftech is extending its expertise to the Land Rover Group's high-performance internal combustion engines. Range Rover, Range Rover Sport and Defender models, equipped with the 4.4 V8 inherited from BMW, can now be reprogrammed using the BOSCH MG1CS201 engine ECU.

This new compatibility applies to vehicles produced from 2022 onwards, with no end date yet known, and gives access to engine optimisations developed and validated in-house by the Shiftech teams.

Reprogramming BOSCH MG1CS201: Range Rover, Range Rover Sport and Defender V8 4.4

The BOSCH MG1CS201 ECU equips the latest generations of Land Rover V8 engines. It requires bench mode intervention after unlocking, giving full access to engine strategies, while maintaining the safety features and tolerances defined by the manufacturer.

  • ECU brand: BOSCH
  • ECU reference: MG1CS201
  • ECU type: engine
  • Read/write method: Bench after unlock procedure
  • Reprogramming tool: AT

Results after Shiftech engine reprogramming

After engine optimisation by Shiftech, performance can reach :

  • Maximum power: 680 bhp
  • Maximum torque: 920 Nm

A power and torque curve is systematically provided so that you can see exactly how performance has changed after the work has been carried out.

Options available for reprogramming

Depending on the configuration of the vehicle and its intended use, several options are available:

  • Cold Start Off: no high-speed cold start
  • Vmax Off: removal of the maximum speed limit

Each option is set within a controlled framework, respecting the mechanics, transmission and use of the vehicle.

Complementary compatible parts

To accompany engine reprogramming, Shiftech also offers compatible hardware solutions:

  • BMC filters and intakes
  • Maxton Design aerodynamic parts
  • exhaust

E85 conversion (ethanol)

These Land Rover V8 engines can also be converted to run on E85 ethanol. The main aim of this configuration is to adapt the fuel, without seeking additional power. Performance remains equivalent to that of the petrol configuration, while allowing the vehicle to run on E85 depending on conditions of use and fuel availability.
