It's more suited to race applications but it's certainly doable. They are getting some pretty good figures out of them these days too. I recently saw that UFI have pulled 310awhp from one.Originally Posted by mudski

Yes i understand that and i know changing the actual cam timing change the power curve to be earlier or later to give you more or less revs BUT what i'm saying is my motor stock standard with no mods at all will see 5 - 5,500rpm daily without any hassle and without any modification were a stock standard out of the box td will not. Well it might but not for very long, even my tb complains about it by putting its tappets out of adjustment but ahh well lol.
I heard about that but i heard some people saying 300hp (200kw) others saying 300kw (400hp) but didn't know if it where true lol
Tomorrow I will be going to Vic Roads to make it all official...
Hodge stopped around the other week with a little present in the way of a pair of TD42 stickers and cant wait to put them on.
Also might see about getting tyres balanced and going for another run to see if the vibration has gone... George fixed my other tyre and fitted it this afternoon so the violent shaking should be taken care of.. shame when a brand new tyre has a damaged sidewall and is so out of round it is more like an egg, it is usless and for the tip.
No need to really change the cam timing. It's all in the fuel pump.
A general guide for diesel rwkw is its capacity. So for a 4.2 around 265rwkw (265ci) as it's limit. However with technology advancing the way it is and a lot more people playing with diesels this is not so especially with the likes of the dura max and cummins engines. I have not heard of anyone breaking the 300kw mark on a td42 yet.
Good for spare though mate. Or is it as round as Mick's head.
No Mark it is stuffed and far to dangerous to keep.. a shame really but better to get rid of it than be tempted to use it.
What do people think of WRX air scoops???

Nah just kidding what for, intercooler or just look cool!?
For intercooler... and yes Darren looks like a wanker !!!
