Thread: CAN YOU INCREASE BORE/STROKE ON THE PUMA FOR MORE GRUNT??

Who is an agent for B.A.S. in Victoria?

I understand that the whole purpose of EGR is to reduce the combustion temperature. Reduced combustion temperatures produce less NOX.

I don't know as to when the the EGR valve is opened or closed, Dougal says full throttle should have EGR closed.

There is a requirement to cool the EG so don't know if the cooled EG would produce a higher EGT due to it's increased temperature or more likely the increased fuel results in higher EGT.

The variable geometry one is the non standard. Which you can set up for different purposes and need a small mortgage for. Which was what I was referring to earlier

Well yes, I know I could do that, but being computer & mechanical hopeless/useless, I'd want someone local to me to support it/me, if something went "wrong", as these things sometimes do.
I am aware of Pete's awesome reputation, & if I lived in the UK, there'd be no discussion,.....I'd have been to see him by now!
Thanks, Pickles.

That's certainly true on the TD5. But this thread is about the 2.4 Puma engine which has a GTA2052V variable vane turbo: GARRETT turbos for Land Rover passenger cars and vans - Applications - TurboMaster

I have heard there is somebody in sydney who tunes the 2.2. Does anybody know of his name. I don't really understand why it can't be done in Oz otherwise. No doubt they have more experience with the defender and probably more demand in the U.K.

Australia has alot of good tuners in the petrol scene, some say up there with the best but surely there must be someone in Oz that has had a crack. Im not sure I could handle the down time sending the ECU all the way to the U.K. But if that is my only option then I guess that is what will need to be done.

Cheers
