[Trentt]

im thinking of doing some engine work to the td42 new turbo biger injectors few things like that was going to install myself then take and get dyno tuned anyone done before i only want to do light mods not going to smash it at 25psi or anything its a td42ti stock engine only 100000 on clock just want some more guts might do diff gears not sure any ideas?

You can get a new intake plenum, for better more equal flow to all cylinders,
I have one from A.R.E. in brisbane, I also have a tri step valve grind, due to time constraints I didnt get the head ported, which is on the cards just not a priority, this time while the head is I will get oversize valves aswell.

is that just the turbo manifold or?

Hey mate your in perth give United Fuel injections a call. Also Diesel Central in rockhampton mate.

These engines can make awesome figures for minimal outlay. A new turbo is a great place to start also getting rid of the junk factory intercooler. As for your injectors you dont as much get "bigger injectors" for a TD42 but the do up the crack pressures.

I would go a turbo upgrade and throw a front mount on it nice and simple and "light"

With all this research Im doing ben-e porting the head is unjustified however oversized valves will net you a good increase. The TD42 head is pretty sweet straigh out of the box.

Well if you not wanting to go to much I would look at a Garrett gtx2863, these can be had for about 1400 from the states but don't quote me on that, or a little dearer from a dealer over here. Throw a decent from mount intercooler on it and if your handy could do all that for 2-2500. With a nice tune this should get you about 130rwkw up from about the 90 it may have from stock. The torque increase will be the biggest but and drive ability will be much nicer.
