Tb42e power and response up grades

[healy]

efi extractors need a o2 sensor bung mate, they're only worth $5 so if you got a cheap set off a carby or td you could just drill and weld in the bung.


Yeah heals, i was talking diff gears mate. Mist people go turbo coz it's cheaper to setup even tho a charger would work better i haven't seen many, actually 1 td42 with all plasmaman gear on it. I was pretty sure the tb42 had 125kw at the flywheel so probably only around 80rwkw if your lucky lol. I can see that your doing what you can for sweet eff all mate but that gt42 is a massive turbo and wouldn't start spooling till 5k i rekon haha . Anyway mate your pretty limited with what you can do without spending a fair few $$$ but imo you should forget about power figures for now and focus on what the long term use of the truck is going to be to work out how your going to set it up. Think of torque as pulling power, the more torque you have it should accelerate faster and hp/kw is the by product of that at the peak of your rev range. Imo for now just fit the diff gears, that should make it quicker off the line and make it a bit more responsive for the time being. BUT remember everything is about sacrifice so tall diff gears will make you have less top speed, more power = more fuel consumption so work out what you want so you can find the happy medium.

Cheers thats what I was thinking about the exhaust. Thanks for the info aswell mate I appreciate it. Gears It is then. I thought that turbo sounded abit big. Hopefully parts will come past in time and I can collect and store over time.
