Thread: 300Tdi Tune

Well it happen my head gasket blew coming into Mansfield last long weekend.

So I fixed it all got 4 new injectors and got LRA to get it 'Properly tuned' by his diesel guy.

They need the car for a full day ( could be longer if problems arise)



Here is the Dyno read out before and after. Don't worry about the torque figures ( wish they were from the engine ) all figure are @ the wheels. So on paper 17Kw increase @ 40 and so on. On the road very happy as most 300tdi owners will know they are a tad sluggish off the line and with an auto when 4th gear kicks in at 80Kmh well basicly it ****s you if you are anywhere but going down a hill. I now find it takes off very well from standing start and I no longer need to floor it all the time to keep up with cars at the lights or in stop start traffic. And when 4th gear drops in it will very happily just keep powering on!!! Even up a hill! I could have just played with the diaphram etc but I want this engine to last and I was told this guy mods the inturnals of the injection pump not just turn a screw or two. not sure about fuel echonmy yet only used 1/4 of a tank and been driving pretty hard. So for those who want a 'real' power increase I highly recommend it! I also dont have that 'hunt at idle anymore and I dont get that BIG black cloud of smoke on start up. Most ppl that play with the pumps blow a lot of smoke under load I hardly notice it it's just a haze I can only see at night.

Pat;

I recall LandyAndy speaking to a Chap from Diesel Gas Australia in WA at a 4wding and Camping show and what you are saying is contrary to what he was told , I believe he was told that TD5 Engine gets the Biggest Improvement in Power and Torque Figures on Diesel gas.

i may be wrong....
