Boost

(1/3) > >>

Ollie:
OK, so the new Landy has only 60K miles on the clock. Just nicely run in for some power modifications.
I'm used to a 300TDi pulling the 90 along. Now with the extra weight on the 300TDi 110, I feel the engine is lacking somewhat.
So, what can I do to increase power/torque without decreasing my MPG :?:
I've toyed with the idea of a larger intercooler, but not sure of the pitfalls this may entail, ie, what other adjustments are required to benefit from it's installation?
I'm looking for about 15% increase :?:

Cheers
Ollie

Having driven a 'before' and 'after' Defender that went through the Allisport treatment, I can recommend giving them a call (or see them at Peterborough)

With any engine mod,  you need to look at the complete system...  just tweaking the fuelling or fiddling with the boost will give you a benefit.. but you run the risk of messing up the engine.

My advice : talk to Andy   -  www.allisport.com

Ollie:
Cheers Tim, I'll be at LRO, so I'll chat to Andy then.

See you there, as I need some new stickers :D

You want what?? Increased power is always going to cost fuel, if you have the self control to drive it more gently afterwards you shouldn't lose too much economy, but be heavy footed and you'll pay at the pump.
