Forum: 

hi all,
just wondering if there is any mild hot ups or tuning i can do to this wee girl (without over doing it & losing reliability) to get a wee bit more power..i dont want a race car as i have one but need a little more push. also any body/chassis mods or any info on any handling & motor mod's & any tips on what to look out for as far as preventative maintenance.
thanks again.

Can be done, but it's a black art!

Read an article years ago about a company who re-programmed the black box - a bit like Superchips and the like. They could also tweak older diesels and improved the magazine's old Vauxhall Monterey without changing the engine management. The magazine's reporter was a bit surprised at their methods (a big hammer, I think!), but was well impressed by the results. Can't remember the magazine name or the company name, but if I find the old copy among all my junk, I'll let you know.
Had my 3.0 diesel Toyota van chipped up to try and improve the economy (24 mpg). It made no difference to fuel consumption, but took 1 second off the 0-60mph time, and made it much livelier on light throttle.

PS. Don't just adjust the pump to increase the fuelling, it leads to other problems!

Weary
