The TDV6 was a single-turbo setup, IIRC, whereas the SDV6 was twin parallel sequential turbos?

I was looking a a tdv6 and was going to tune It if I got it. AP velocity offers a tune to take it from 254hp to 322hp. The people that I spoke to with it said the best part was the reduction in the throttle response time as the factory tune is sluggish off the line.

I have thier tune on my SC 5.0 and it is very easy to flash the ECU and to flash it back to stock if you need to.

Actually the TDV6 and SDV6 are the same engine core and both twin turbos. they draw more power out of the SDV6.

 

I had a look at the L494 workshop manual and could only find reference to a “SDV6 Hybrid”, which I’ve never heard of?

Looking at the specs for my year, they appear identical.

I have the VelocityAP tune on my TD6. Throttle response is significantly better... actually, no comparison. I have a dealer appointment this week, so I reverted to the original tuning on my TD6 earlier today and it feels like a completely different car.

 

Just did a quick google for VelocityAP and looks like they’re not around anymore? “Scuderia Autoart” comes up instead and they don’t have anything on their website for an L494.

Am i looking at the wrong place?

Not sure why it wouldn’t be the first return. Maybe because you’re searching from Australia? Their full name is Velocity Automotive Performance but everyone abbreviates it to AP and that’s how they spell it on their website URL.

You can just click the link in my post and it will take you to their site and the correct page for your tune.

 

how can I tell from the engine of a range rover sport (from Vin# etc...) if the engine I am looking at is a td6 or an SDV6 ?
Ps. car manufacture date is 11/2019 so its considered a 2020 year model..thanks

 

Look on driver side fender when you open the hood or bonnet. Look for a DEF fill blue in color. If it has it its TD

 

Thanks Joedady805 and Jimbg.
I looked at the hood on the driver side, it has the AD blue filler cap (in black)...so I guess it's a TD6...

I am located in Dubaïbut the car is a Canadian import. I am looking at a diesel car but want to have the recent tech asI plan to take it with me when leaving dubai..

 

The TD6 did not use DEF in the UK. The SDV6 was the only engine in the UK for the L494 .

The early L494's also did not use DEF.

 

Why on earth do you say it is a Discovery? Also for your information the first D5's were with the single turbo TD6 engine and then changed to the SDV6 twin turbo engine.
