3.0 td engine performance part

[Kai-san]

Hi guys, I ended up buying the 2014 td auto, as mentioned in an earlier post.
Are there any modifications I can do for the engine to have some better performance for towing a trailer around Australia?
Snorkel is a must.
What about 3inch redback exhaust?
As because I will be fitting 2"lift, 33" tyres, drawer, dual battery, UHF I don't want to spent over the top, but if there is a must have to get some more torque, better fuel economy, I might do it...
Please help me to set up my rig!
Any other essentials to be fitted for a trip around the island?

Patrolapart have an air cleaner lid for the ZD30, that helps make them breathe better apparently. It may help.

This? https://patrolapart.com.au/product/n...box-suit-gq-gu
Can only find the whole box

There's that too, but there is another one, that is just a lid, with an attachment that fits on top of it as well and then connects to the rest of the intake pipe. Keep looking, as I'm on a different device, that I can't copy and paste on.

I found the lid that I was on about and I`m on the desk top comp, so I can copy and paste what I`m on about. Hope it helps in some way.

Drop a V8 in it lol
I fitted a Tillix Valve and that gave it some extra mumbo

Also removing the screens where the maf is helps with air flow, of the egr is blocked then remove the swirl valve as it’s not required in the throttle body.
Make sure all the vacuum hoses are in good condition and keep your maf clean

Honest question mate, friggin acronyms when not in the know shit meself too!
Mass Airflow Sensor- MAF, not that crap my Mrs watches on TV, pardon the pun!
I believe it’s an elecy sensor that gurus here know how to fix/clean quite easily with the right McChemical

disabling the swirl valve really only applies to di models and not the crd like yours. blocking th egr can cause the fault warning light to come on but you can read and clear the code with a scangauge/ultra gauge tourque app. 33 inch tyres will give you about 1 inch extra clearance but will rob power from the motor and cost in fuel economy.basically i would start with fitting a catch can ( this will help keep the maf sensor and intercooler free of blowby residue ) and clean the maf sensor at every oil change. then fit a scangauge or similar . i have one permanently mounted to the dash gauge binical where i can keep an eye on the boost . crd's can generally run higher boost than di's without hitting limp mode. i have run mine up to 24psi and have never hit limp mode , i have it set now so it rarely goes over 18psi .then i would sugest fitting a snorkel , safari is good but if you can afford it , a 4inch snorkel to the airbox would be better especially if you decided to upgrade your air box and intercooler to get more power later. next i would fit a dawes/tillix and needle valves and then a 3inch exhaust . if you fit the exhaust first it can sometimes play havoc with the boost . then do the egr if you want.at that point i would asses how it is going as it would probably do the job well at that point, remembering that it is only a 3litre motor and will never be a torque beast
