Have put about 1000 miles on the clock of my latest 90 project, been towing a fair bit and the lump seems under powered!!

Found 2 air leaks on the boost pipe to fip which have improved things alot.

What can be done to get some more umph out of this engine without spending a fortune on huge intercoolers etc.

Was looking at getting rid of 2 out of 3 silencers as this has worked on the Wifes Disco.

All ideas welcome, will be towing again this friday to compare improvments and mpg.

Cheers

Not cheap, but effective - this is what I have done:

is it just me - or cant peeps read? the fred title is "Tuning A Defender 200TDi??? On The Cheap" - why are peeps talking about a 300TDi? you might as well take about tuning a V8:rolleyes:.
 
Well, cheers for some of the advice. It will come in handy for tuning the wifes 300tdi disco.

As for my 200tdi I have set the boost at 13psi under load, changed the boost hoses for better items, and built a new exhaust leaving just the centre box in.

The results are very good, so good that I think next will be to rasie the gearing as now I can plod along in 5th and from 30mph accelerate very easily.

None at all Mr. Smartarse - if you had bothered to read my thread you would see there was a hierachy of mods I carried out including the cheap-as-chips EGR blanking. Does that not apply to the 200tdi?

:rolleyes:
