shogun no power.
« on: February 01, 2010, 17:53:24 »
Iv'e just changed the 2.5 in my 96 swb shogun as the old one had water problems.The replacement engine is older than original but I  still expected it to go ok.Problem is it doesn't rev under load ie put your foot down and not much happens :'(,certainly not what you'd call acceleration).Turbo is good and belt timing is correct.It doesn't smoke and sounds fine mechanicaly.any thoughts please.........thanks.

did you change the 3f`s eg fuel oil air filters  and did the new engine come with fuel pump on or did use your old one on the fuel it has markings for turbo or non turbo?

Good suggestion,with the pump advanced up it's going a lot better.I'll try anvancing  a tooth on the belt  as it's not quite enough. thanks.

 :sad:Not so good,moving a whole tooth is too much despite moving the pump back on the slots.So some improvement with first adjustment but not enough.My 200 tdi landrover is  much quicker!

If your not sure regards the timing on the pump, it might be best to use a DTI guage. You will probably need an adaptor to mount it on the distributor head on the back of the pump though. At least this way you can rule out any timing issues for sure.
