why is my speedo registering correct with 31's on? This would mean discos would be over registering with std tyres on by about 5% I think.

My stock 97 v8 Disco reads around 6-7% over on standard tyres according to the speed read-outs on the highway near Ballarat.
I don't know how accurate they are, but my wife's 00 Td5 Disco reads spot on thru them.

That's a bit harsh isn't it, considering the amount of free advice he gave with his post?

Lindsay,

Can I suggest that you have a couple of days holiday in Melbourne. Book your car into AG diesel in Clayton.

When I had them tune my disco about 5 years ago I just said give it as much go as you can. According to the dyno after the tune it had about 30% more power. This sounds a lot but it olny went from 50 to 65hp at the wheels.
They also said that the snorkel and finer filter were robbing power at higher speeds, so the finer filter is long gone.
The car still works in safe EGT range, as about 650c is the max i've seen on my gauge.

It cost about $600 at the time (including injector work) so the $800 denco said seems right.

On another note, is the auto doing what it should and locking up at higher speeds ??

HTH

HI John
thanks for that-2 things-1 Denco tells me that they cant dyno an automatic, can anyone?
2 yep, the box locks up in top.

Sounds like you got a good result for a good price-did they fit the EGT gauge as well? What EGT is too high? I use a paper air filter element so hoping that this is not a restricting factor?


And Jase
thanks for that contact in Romsey I will give him a ring.

I wasn't having a go, i was just reminding Jase that some look at advertising as Spaming. Personaly i dont, i liked his report, but after seeing the same write up on another post i thought someone might pull him up on it.

Jase Go for it, i respect the fact you do your research and you have the funds to be an importer. i was not going you i was stating what i saw as a repeat of post, which some have been asked to remove in the past due to spam laws.
I'f i'm wrong then shoot me down. i'll admit defeat if i'm ever wrong...

If you want a real performance boost, try LPG fumigation.

See http://www.dieselgas.com.au/vehicles.htm for the performance curves for a 300Tdi Defender.

My '97 tdi is always good for around 150, and gets there quite quickly enough.
I have done some "tweaking", mainly looking for better sustained speed on hills.
But I have found the engine to be very responsive to injection pump timing. They are set at nominally TDC, but mine starts easier and pulls better with a 3deg. advance on the pump.
I think it would be worth checking the timing to be sure at least it is not retarded which would inhibit speed.

Hi Sheff
do you have any info on how to do this-are there any risks?
