Thread: Lack of power even after mods

Did they do the basic stuff like valve clearances and set the tune on a dyno?,if they just used a screwdriver on the pump I'm not supprised it didn't work. Pat

Disco final drive will drag performance down a little on 32s as that's well up on a disco 29" ratio!

Agree with Pat, what boost did they up the turbo to?

And try without the restriction of the precleaner on the snorkel - they pull a fair bit off...

Is it smoking much?

Pump played with, not just the smoke screw, valves reset. Boost is at std or just able, they were a bit cagey when I asked. I've not fitted my boost gauge yet.

Smokes just a touch. I push the accelerator until I feel no more action from the engine when driving. No need to shove it to the floor. EGT's got to 620 fully loaded with camper up cunninghams gap on Friday. Pushed it pretty hard to see what happened.

Precleaner does not have a filter.

what sort of performance are you expecting............even with a tweak they are not mind blowing

I had mine done twice at MR before having it checked on a dyno with the probe checking the exhaust gasses...slight changes were made.

if you got up the gap fully loaded with camper and were not in first you're probably doing OK

my its in the gearing changes you have made as I just have stock inter-cooler and stock size exhaust with no mufflers

Ditch the disco gearing

I found the manifold gasket was blown out. Some idiot before me had put in 2 bolts on the inlet manifold that were too short. That in turn stripped the threads.

Now with good turbo pressure, it now feel like it's lacking fuel & EGT's get super hot, super fast. I reckon starving for fuel at the injector pump (got to check if main fuel screw has been tampered with and adjusted) or try and check fuel pressure into pump. I have installed a new fuel pump but it may be faulty. Any other ideas???
