Mine was like that until I had the extractors and exhaust fitted. It was pretty ordinary until 3000rpm where there was a surge of power. Now it revs more freely, although its still not a powerhouse.

Thanks for your reply, MightyMouse!
The clunk is just irritating more than anything. It can be minimised/negated with smooth gear changes and rolling off the throttle. Any idea what a diff would go for please?
I will look into the pricing of the timing belt a tad more, me thinks.
I'm sure you are ...

G'day guys
I've only had my '93 Feroza II for 6 months and am at a cross roads, as I didn't pay attention to the buying tips in the FAQ. The overall running of the car is fine, but the suspension and rear diff require attention.
Below is a quote for what is supposedly required, excluding what I ...

My old Applause had 100fwhp. That required air filter, extractors, exhaust, cam and after-market computer. Wasn't cheap, for not much gain... If I did it again, I'd go straight for a super or turbo charger.

Sounds like its backfiring. Mine does it, combined with the sports exhaust... I like it!!
My turboed Silvia does it as well, because I have a blow-off valve that causes the mixtures to be messed up when you back off the throttle.

Cheers AJ. That was one thing I found with my Applause. When I moved the Unifilter from being mounted to the throttle body to behind the headlight torque increased by a significant amount.

Sounds great doesn't it!?! :D
That's what I loved about my Applause. I had a Unifilter Rampod on it, and loved listening to it SUUUUCK!
Is there much point changing the air intake on a Feroza? What is the black box for above the rocker cover? I am assuming something to do with induction noise and ...

G'day all. I'm Randal, and am just writing to welcome myself back to the Daihatsu arena. :) I used to have a Daihatsu F10 with a Gemini motor, but while loving the off road ability, on road was painful, noisy and slow.
I have just bought a very stock 1993 Daihatsu FerozaII SXP and am looking ...

I must agree with you... How I do wish I had more low end with my Silvia. Hopefully a ballbearing turbo would assist that...
If I required a replacement motor I would seriously consider dropping in a naturally aspirated SR20 and adding the turbo gear. Higher compression, and therefore better low ...

Can do, if youre not getting the correct fuel supply in the first place. Stock injectors should be able to handle a certain amount of extra fuel requirement, but you need to make sure your stock fuel pump is up to the task as well.
Before you go adding things get it on the dyno to measure the ...

It's all in the tuning...
Get your Feroza onto a dyno with a competent operator so they can check that you are getting the correct air/fuel ratio. Keep the boost low (around 6psi or so) and you shouldn't have dramas, as long as your fuel supply is up to the challenge. Perhaps look into getting an ...

A tip that may help the 4 cylinder blokes... Rubber Gloves...
I used to have one fitted over my distributor cap in my F10, with the 5 leads exiting the finger holes... It did an amazing job at keepin water out.
Silly me forgot to make a drain plug for my Datsu...
