Tuning a 2.25 diesel

(1/3) > >>

jimthelandyman:
Anyone know if the 2.25 can be tuned in anyway just to give it a bit more power, it also mustn't be expensive or hard to do. Also anyone seen the article on the turbo for the 2.25 engines on the very back page of the latest LRO magazine seems interesting, or has any of you got one?

MattW:
feed it carrots!


No actually thats horses - sorry :(

robbie:
If the 2.25 is the same one that is in the '86 LR 90s, then the best way to get more power out of it is to ensure you plan your route with as many downhills as possible....... the bad news is that it aint nice getting back home UP the hills......

jimthelandyman:
ye thats a good idea unfortunately there are so many hills round my area so there are as much uphills as downhills lol. I hate it when people tailgate me when i can't get enough speed up a hill so i usually slow right down to 10mph to really naff them off it serves them right for tailgaiting lol i suggest every series owner tries it its a way of revenge just cos we are slow uphills, wait until they have some of my towbar in thier plastic spaceage looking car haha.

you can try fitting LPG to it, it can give you a 10-15% boost in power, as well as cleaning up your emissions a bit
