I want more torque, Cheap options?

[Drewboyaus]

I'd really like to know what the limit is for these donks. I run mine at 20psi and just did an hour hour run towing a 1.4T trailer with thew boost at full prolly 60% of the trip. Ran like a dream apart from the hills where I could have gotten out and pushed. Lol
I did set it to 25psi just to see, still no limp mode and jesus! It really went but was to worried to leave it. Once my TD42 build is ready to drop in I might screw it up just to see what goes bang first as I won't be able to sell the engine for anything so I might aswell do some r & d with it.

Didn't know you were building a TD42 mate.

That wasn't aimed at me was it?

Thomas, No you are fine .....

How is it all going?

I would bite the bullet and spend the money on a decent chip to improve your off idle torque. That is what I did with my early 3 Litre Di's and it made huge difference.

Holy Cow 35 to 40 PSIA (or MAP if anyone prefers) into a ZD30 is 650 to 700 PSI on compression.

No wonder she pulled like a teenager, I would have bet a 6 pack she would have let go before the hour... guess I was wrong... yet again

Mudski what needs to be done to fit a td42 to these big beasts is there much to be changed over

ECU?
Wiring harness ?

What else

What else

Also radiator, a/c pump, alternator, pwr steering, pretty much everything that attaches to the engine. Engine mount brackets need to be cut off and new ones relocated and welded on. Bell housing, clutch, flywheel, air box, new wiring loom. Im sure there's more as I am only just starting with mine. This will be a long term project for me as my ZD30 is still going strong plus I have a 5spd box I am building up as well so they can go in together.
So as I get further along I will be scratching a few members brains for info.

Exactly what I want to do and throw in an auto maybe to get the power down as my left leg cramps

[threedogs]

@ Thomas that's why I brought an auto as the nerve to my leg would pinch at any time and engage the clutch
very dangerous, but had my last 4x4 for over 400k so over a manual 4x4 big time, as for motor not sure what I would put in
Turbo diesel not ideal as an off roaded,need to be on boost all the time,, maybe the Infinity motor// who knows what will
be available when the time comes. But updating to a CR makes sense as a lot of my accessories will fit

No sorry it wasn't aimed at you, someone was after the manuals so posted some crap in your thread which was deleted before you had seen it. But our comments 2 him are still in your thread

No mate.
Someone else spamming for a manual who has had their posts deleted.

Thanks Drew
