Will just chipping the Y61 3.0l make it very much faster?

[Boyo]

Hi All, I'm over in the UK a long way away from you guy's and after seeing what the Y61 can do I am very interested in buying one but aren't they very slooooow. I've read reviews with one 48 year old guy saying that he would reach 60mph (100kph) in your language before the patrol would!!!
Without any major mechanical changes how can the acceleration be improved?
Thanks
Lyn.

hi mate and welcome could you go over and post and introduction just say hi everyone and which car you have motor year etc

Take one for a test drive. It's a diesel it's not going to be fast and the petrol powered y 61 do have a bit of poke. A chip and exhaust make a big difference to the diesel

welcome to the forum mate as suggested please head over
to the intros and tell us a bit about yourself etc being polite and all
A ZD30 will improve with a chip but best results would need an exhaust up grade as well.and NADS

A 3 Ton, 3 litre diesel truck is never going to be "fast" unless you spend LOTS of money on it. However, a chip and exhaust upgrade do improve performance (more power and torque) and make the vehicle more driveable. If you want "fast" offroad - buy a Porsche Cayene.

twin turbo VEE10 oh yeah

You could always drop the diesel and put in a TB48 ;)

or swap me for mine...
