All Things Aftermarket Tuning
Discussion
Given the interest in tuning 252 PS models, I thought it'd be an idea to set up a dedicated thread.
First question I have is towards Dom ref: your Life110 300PS tune - out of curiosity is your car from end MY 2020 onwards by chance, or an earlier MY 252 PS version?
My understanding is that from end MY2020 / begin MY2021 Alpine had a slightly different turbo set-up for the 252 PS model; and this may have an impact on limiting any torque increases c.f. to earlier 252 PS models?

That squares with the Life110 site which quotes lower torque increases for later models. Specifically it's 340nm for the later cars - exactly the same as for the current 300bhp engine. On paper at least, it makes the Life 110 upgrade pointless on the latest S.First question I have is towards Dom ref: your Life110 300PS tune - out of curiosity is your car from end MY 2020 onwards by chance, or an earlier MY 252 PS version?

I ordered my Legende in June 2020 and picked it up just after Christmas, so it was built during the second half of 2020.Can’t fault the Life110 map though. Doesn’t change the character of the car particularly, especially in standard Auto mode as the box changes up before the fat bits of the torque curve. But it’s creamy smooth and if you hold onto the ratios a bit longer it really flies… I now do almost all my driving in Manual

Thanks Dom, good to know. Can’t fault the Life110 map though.

BTW, can you recall what max torque setting was used for your car - 340 nm or 380 nm?

I don’t know to be honest. David did ask me to confirm the model year (2020) after I booked so I’m assuming it got the full beans version but I couldn’t say for sure.BTW, can you recall what max torque setting was used for your car - 340 nm or 380 nm?
