Diesel Tuning
« on: 20 January 2013, 14:08 »
Hi just wondering what else I could do to my 100pd derv to get a few more horses.Ive only done some basic mods like de-cat with a straight pipe,EGR delete and drilled airbox plus the car has had a remap but havent a clue what kind of power it has.Is there any more DIY mods I could do that may see a few more horses thanks.

Injectors dont cost mega bucks though,  coupled with a fresh remap you could onto a winner.  How about uprated intercooler?

They're about £200 per unit.

IC is a good one, forgot about that. A hard pipe kit  for your IC would also help. :smiley:

A hard pipe is that the pipe down to the IC? What IC would I need would say a 130pd IC be any different or would I need to go a aftermarket kit thanks for replys..

It's a PD Diesel engine which use different injectors driven of the camshaft which are extremely expensive

S3 Intercooler and hard pipe kit is a nice setup..not sure if it fits the 100pd engines though  :undecided:
