Yeah but getting that setup working well in another vehicle for the effort and maybe cost starts to get towards outweighing the benefit.

Basic tweeks i could understand like adding a intercooler when it has none but thats all the time and money you would want to waste on that.[/qoute] i know it aint never gonna be a race car would never have got the mistral if i wanted that lol. its my faithful work horse, just think a lil bit more power would be nice ,should be relitivley inexpensize if i do work myself !

sound of large raspberry,>( ********** )I've forgotten more about modifying engines for power/economy than you two dicks !kaspas/1ollie will ever know. what some of you wackers know about this subject, you could write on a stamp and still have room for the queens head !the thermodynamic relationship between pressure/temp can create a fine line between a runner V grenadeHA HAguess you'll find it

if you want it to be save you add a intercooler clean egr remove and block egr and clean intake and intake port. and using a diesel additive. that would be cheap enough will give you a wee extra power and it wont add any risk of it blowing something. Anything else will increase the potential risk of it blowing something out. You could look at the exhaust system also but thats usually expensive and i would only do it if it needs a new exhaust ,

Don't listen to him hes not quite all there.
Yes you should be able to get a good noticeable gain for quite cheap if you can do the work your self!

Upping the boost a little will not 'blow something up'
Most factory specced turbo's have a long way to go before they are overboosting.

intrade. always spouting about jap diesels, but his experiences are the opposite of most other people's
i upped the boost in my old intercooled surf, and have done so in my prado as well. what did i get for my troubles! (all 10 minutes worth of troubles)i got more power, better fuel economy, and now as the revs climb, so does power.
yea the top mounted intercooler isnt the best for cooling when you're sitting still, but i find when i'm sitting still usually don't need 100% power available to me.once moving things cool back down. right when you might need some power

The biggest killer of modified diesels is high egt's, keep them at a safe level and it will last

Agreed and a better flowing exhaust helps no end!

Do some research about water methanol injection. Works a treat from what i have heard. They are an awesome truck my mums just hitting the 300,000km mark still running like a dream! See if you can get a decent aftermarket air filter and exhaust or just enjoy the economy and cruise at 95kph experience NZ while you cruise around XD

not unusual to get 700.000km out of a td27

Also LPG injection, do a Google search about it! You get increased performance and reduced fuel economy as well.

how would a snorkle go for increasing airflow!

Make a dent in the floor so the accelerator can be 'floored' further.
