when i was 24 i used to drive a butter box (1972 IH C1900 8 wheeler) with twin sticks, main box on the left and joey on the right, some veteran Mack drivers scratched their head and questioned how the hell do you drive it?
embarrasing :blush:
thats apart from them asking how the hell do you back a dog trailer? :blush:
Talked again with the guy at MTQ.
Told me that the turbo was possibly mis-matched to the motor & or exhaust.
He had previously made mention of this but as sufficient power increases had been made , I was'nt too fussed it was at the top end, at that stage:angel:.
His suggestion was to fit a garrett at around 4G fitted:eek:.
Thats not gunna happen.
Anyhow, who else has dyno'ed their 300 tdi & what figures did they get?
Just like a comparo.
Cheers Dean.
What ?
It's a TD-04, isn't it Dean ?
JC has been using those kits for yonks and really likes them and part of the selling point from MTQ was the much better bottom end compared to the OE Garrett. :confused:
From memory my stock 300tdi was 47kw at the wheels...
Dean,my stock Tdi,no adjustments from factory running D/Gas was putting out 53Kw's or something like that when I dynoed it 3 years ago,it had done over 400,000k's at that time and it was run in 4th with 255/85/16's. PatQuote:

Little dissapointing to have an up graded turbo & larger exhaust, yet about 20

I dont really know much, but since you have changed the dynamics of the engine (with the turbo and exhaust) does it also need a change in fuel to be optimal??? ie will it provide better power if you tune the fuel, more so than a stock engine with the fuel tuned???Quote:

But surely when towing horses, you would have more hp........Quote:
