just a bit of a throw around topic guys, but i was just thinking...
I've done a little bit of tuning to my old girl over the last couple of years... nothing special, but the list is:
- dynamically adjusted timing to a nice dieselly advanced position
- 2" straight exhaust from the bottom of the dual downpipe back
- enlarged airbox intake to 80mm with cold air intake and open grille
- wound in the fuel screw as far as i could accomodate with my stretched accellerator cable to increase fuel at WOT
Now, i know for a fact that the car goes a lot better, but i've always pondered what kind of gains i've really got. I mean, is it a couple of hp here and there, maybe a little torque.... i know noone can actually tell me unless you are willing to pay for a dyno run (haha) but i really just want to hear your theories. the never ending quest for the lean, clean diesel powermachine is neverending for me, but its a fun underaking. what mods have you guys done?
