2.8 diesel engines

EGR is exhaust gas recirculation, check this thread for more info;

I'll see if I can find the thread about adding 2 stroke to fuel.

EGR, Exhaust gas recirculator, pokes truck loads of carbon and exhaust gas into the inlet manifold to help wear your engine out. only on turbo intercooled motors tho.
2 stroke oil in the diesel at 200 to one helps to lube the injection system, quietens the motor and as far as I am concerned, more power, better fuel economy, some say upto 25% altho I havn't seen this sort of saving yet. Do yourself a favour and do some searches on "2 stroke in your diesel" .

Thanks for the info I will be using it for off roading so im sorta trying to way up things and decided what I should by. This car is going to have to last me a good 5 years or so I would say so I want to be shore.

Jas are you looking at dragging the camper through the bush, sand and mud etc ????
Just to get you thinking some more on your decission, even though I recomend the 2.8 highly, I dont think I would like to pull a camper through the sand etc with mine. Thats where the bigger motor would be better hands down. The 2.8 needs to be kept revving as I said previously were the larger engines can just cruise through the tough stuff.
Sorry if this screwed up your thought pattern, but dont want you getting something that is not going to suit your needs.
As for Rods suggestion on 2 stroke, I might look into that one as well, Cheers for the tip Rod.

Get a chip for the 2.8. Highly recommend them, just imported one from Italy for $240. Took 20mins to wire in, coupled with my 3" straight thru exhaust and blocked EGR (only other mods done) the 2.8 is really great now. 4th gear up hills is easy and sometimes 5th is feasible too. 2nd & 3rd gears are great now.

If my 2.8 ever blows up again, I'll be putting an injected V8 in it.. no mucking around again.

Hey Timbo, have you fitted boost gauge and egt gauge (piro), do you have any boost spikes with the EGR blocked? cheers Rod.

The chip can only be fitted to GU RD28, GQ had a straight mechanical injector pump.

its mick27, sorry mate been trying to find you, have you had any dramas with your GU pulling to the left, i have brand new tyres all balanced, bearings good, other then trac bar under there how can you camber these things. Any ideas.

[YNOT]

Camber can only be adjusted with offset kingpin (swivel hub) bearings.
Castor can be adjusted with off set castor bushes, off set king pin bearings, or for bigger lifts drop arms, drop boxes or castor plates.
Castor is what will cause your vehicle to pull to one side.

mine has pulled to the left for years no one i have taken the car to has been able to fix.

i am going to gt adjustable pan hards to see if that will help. i got a wobble too so i need to get mine looked at by someone who knows there way around patrols now.

Bob Jane and others just dont cut the mustard!

[YNOT]

I'd be surprised if replacing the panhards fixes the pulling left, but it might help with the wobbles.

Good idea finding a Patrol/4WD specialist to look at the suspension.y
