300tdi owners

[Disco_owner]

while I was at David performance landys for a slight stuff up with the Turbo which was self inflicted :angel: I got talking to Bruce about a "Turbo manifold housing" that he's had on offering to customers for sometime , it's a Fixed Geometry Turbo set up for a 300tdi . there is a Disco he has on Display which he has this turbo setup installed and I took it for a test drive :cool:

it has Torque all the way thru the rev range,the Exhaust gases gets this little baby spinning much faster at lower RPM.

now the Disco drove absolutely beautiful , much smoother power delivery there is no Bottom end lag at all ,( for you folks that tow )

well I saw Dyno figures and power it's around 55-56 kw at wheels with a standard intercooler , apparently the pump gets sent away for a diesel specialist to overhault , plunger lift , fuel map , bla bla bla , I can't really give away too much details , but geez it goes .

Mines got 56kw at the wheels running D/gas with everything else stock.How much is the turbo?. Pat

Pat,

Don't quote me on this , but I think $3400 , either he uses his spare rebuilt pump on your 300tdi and sends your existing pump away to get it overhauled and if it needs a complete rebuild it will be extra on top.

That's the one Rick. very close . :)

$3400 for that!!!!.For less than half that you could get more performance out of the original. Pat

Pat,

I think you may have missed my point , the way this Fixed Geometry turbo helps the motor deliver power is different to standard set up . you're never going to get the Torque you want down low with a Standard set up , infact it also gives you more top end as well. so Either a Variable Geometry Turbo charger would be be the way to go or as Rick has posted a Different Exhaust manifold to get your Tubo impeller spinning much faster at lower inertia which means boost comes in earlier , If you're referring to more performance using Diesel-gas system ,this set up doesn't modify the Geometry of your Turbo and doesn't alter your Fuel map on your VE bosch pump .
