I have also found a way to get more power and as good if not better mileage. Take a T and put it in the feed from the vacuum reservoir to the first vacuum control on the turbo. Put another T on the turbo vacuum control line. Tie the 2 T's together. This ups the boost by an amount you can feel-I have not put a ScanGauge on it to document the difference yet. I have found that off the line response is much better and the engine has more power.

Replying to: fust (Oct 29, 2008 6:04 am) The bad plug was not seized in the head and looked like new. I used a 1/4 inch drive ratchet and had to buy a socket that was designed different than what I had to allow the plug to go into the socket. The plug is small and does not need to be very tight – should be able to sense when it is snug enough unless you know what the torque requirement is and you have a suitable wrench. I wasted some time trying to determine how to release the electrical connector from the end of the glow plug without damage. There is no trick. It just pulls off kind of hard. |

Replying to: mdamick (Jul 05, 2008 7:24 pm) blew out. what I did was kept the old ones and built new ones made of aluminium. Made the connection hook up with clamps and small sections of hose. I dont think these will ever blow or wear out again. I used .040 thick material

Replying to: tnilc99 (Oct 30, 2008 9:19 am) If so, did you have any problem with the 90 bend off the turbo?

Replying to: mdamick (Oct 30, 2008 9:54 am) it into the right diameter. then you take and wrap say craft paper around the 90 deg. bend, now you have a model so to speak, and then use scissors to cut the paper 90 model. I cut mine into 3 sections then used the paper sections as flat pattern lay outs. these patterns are to be duplicated onto flat metal sheet.then by hand, hammer, bend, etc to get the radius. Fit all 3 sections together and weld. I tell its hard trying to explain in writing, but hopefully you can see how the process went. |

Replying to: johnhayworth (Aug 01, 2008 6:38 pm) but not enough of a flow rate to keep up with the pump to rail system. I bet your not getting any codes either right? sometimes the code I think was 097 will show which indicates excessive fuel leak. I use 100 % bio fuel in mine 2005 and had this issue over a year ago. it drove me nutts for a week before i figured it out. you see the fuel system codes will cover and pick up temperature, and pressures but nothing will detect the flow rate. your fix will be to lower the viscosity of your fuel, like gasoline-kerosene-diesel. if you choose gas keep it around 12 or 13 to 1 ratio as too much gas can cause damage to motor. safest thing is kerosene diesel or biodiesel. hope this helps |
