The other day I decided to buy 4wd action mag to have a read of some stuff that I could do without knowing
From what it said the biggest mod was a turbo internal upgrade and the rest was the usual intercooler , remap etc etc
Well looking past the hype of the upgraded turbo most will know that this has very little to do with gaining extra Horsepower but fueling on the other hand is a different story ...so what I'm wondering is where/who would make a chip/remap capable of these figures ? As I contacted a well renowned tuner from the UK and they told me they can give a max of around 480Nm from memory but nothing near 700Nm even when I said I couldnt care less about fuel economy...
Thought I would post this just to see what they have seem done to pumas in general..
In the end its a credit to the fella that owns the d90 because it does look like a very nice 4wd however I prefer my dirty old Isuzu and its potentialover my puma any day ...

Supporterscan the article Matt, sounds interesting..

Good idea I'll try and do it the sarvo mick....I don't like to just straight out dispute this blokes claims but that's pretty impressive from a little diesel considering the 4.4v8 diesel rangie has around that...Originally Posted by cal415

the mag is not really known for its journalistic accuracy when it comes to landys so maybe a mis-type.

Don't be too hasty. Miracles can sometimes be worked. -- Maybe even on a Rover-built diesel !!!
Without quoting figures, I know that a Turbo/Injection company over on this side did development work for LRs belonging to a large and traditional organization... (Went in for my Paj, decided not to get a bank loan for the part...got to chatting with a similar vintage Gentleman...)
The brief was as much power/Torgue as possible, with an eye on fuel useage, and no reduction in reliability. - Being ISUZU - engined, this last one was easy, so I'm told.
Anyway, the upshot was an obscene torque figure, reduced black smoke emission under all phases and no noticeable reliability issues. Fuel use was also exceptionally good, considering.
Exactly how much power? - Well, a certain shaft in the transfer case now has a life measured in tens of hours...
How short? - Bank on one shaft every 200 to 500 litres fuel used, 50/50 on & off-road. More if its driven aggressively...
From memory, they worked mainly on the turbo (replaced or bigger?) after-cooler, fuelling, (possibly head) and manifolding.
How many Nm ? - Dunno, but if you're really serious PM me and I'll go for a drive and dig up the company's contact info.

Hi there Matt,
If you want to get more info regarding the 90 and all the figures you can PM P3ck3r. I cannot confirm all the figures but I've seen that thing go and it is impressive.
Cheers, Jurgens.

What model Isuzu ? I don't plan on doing this to my puma I personally hate electrics (being a Leco makes me steer away for some reason) so I'll be sticking to getting as much power as possible out of my Isuzu

Think its the 4BD1T 3.9 litre / 4 cylinder ISUZU.
x2 regarding mobile electrons... Been a hobby interest as well, but much prefer mechanical intelligence in my vehicles...
From what the guy was saying, a lot was in the selection of the turbo, an off-the shalf unit, but a bit fancier with variable something or other. Rest was just sound engineering, larger/better aftercooler, fan assisted (?), exhaust manifolding, wound up fuel pump, better/bigger hoses, good design without interference from an Accounts Dept. !
AT REST
Was the torque figure of 700nm obtained at the back wheels on a chassis dyno or on an engine (flywheel) dyno, I don't believe you would get those sort of torque figures from the flywheel. Through a chassis (Driven Wheels) yes, Regards Frank.
