injector tweak done

[Lindsay]

Gooday

About a month or 2 back I started a thread about my 300tdi, 31 inch shod, auto being such a slug. Appreciated the advice and ideas. There were some people who thought the risk of the injector tweak outweighed any performance gains and others that reckoned it can be managed ok-especially with an EGT gauge. Anywayss...I went ahead and got it tweaked and the result is just what i wanted-a bit of extra grunt to hold the hills. There is a local uphill stretch of a few kilometres where before the tweak I could just hold 80 in top at the slowest point and now I can get up at over 90 at the slowest point. It also cruises that much easier now at highway speeds-and all without using anymore fuel! So I am happy with that. The guy who did it (a landy man in Romsey) reckoned that I didnt need to worry about the EGT issue. BUt I do anyway. So I will check out a gauge when the $$ accumulate a bit-in the meantime I spose the coolant temperature gauge will have to do, along with a not too heavy foot.

It was veerry nice to p%$# off a nissan up that run the other day! https://www.aulro.com/afvb/

very bloody rude.....



not...


this guy, a complete landy nut, seemed happy to have a chat and do the work with me leaning over his shoulder&#33; (most workshops have signs everywhere telling you that it is not even kosher to step over the yellow line) So I got to see what he did as well and learned a bit about my car, and his. NOw i must say he did this based on his experience of doing it to his disco and others he has done. On a post in my earlier thread-you can still read it in the old forum on about page 7 or 8 of &#39;technical chatter&#39; - by &#39;jase&#39; the process is explained pretty clearly. And the risks are also named there.

He charged me for about half of the time he spent...a total of &#036;30. I&#39;m not kidding and I didnt drop a zero. It didnt take him long I spose &#39;cos he&#39;d done it all before and didnt need to keep pulling it apart to fine tune things.

Yep I was pretty stoked&#33; It cost me more than that for the fuel to get there.

It may pay to get an EGT/pyro as when I adjusted mine, and I used Ian Petersens/Thermoguards excellent instructions as well, I easily exceeded 720*C on my test hill, so backed off the diaphram adjustment about 30* from the initial setting (which a lot of people happily run) to keep things sane and safe, although my adjustments obviously may have been more than where your&#39;s is set as I&#39;m generally 15km/h quicker over all my local mountains/hills.
