Has anyone attempted to gain a few extra kw out of these engines?
86kw and 290nm is killing me! There has to be a few hidden horses?
The Ute is just a run around for me, little to no load but I need site access within mines etc. Just a work vehicle, the Patrol is still the dedicated tourer.
What about springs? The fence palings in the rear are ridiculously firm. Has anyone successfully taken a leaf out to gain some ride comfort without loosing too much height? Remember the Ute carries little load.
I can't believe where the intercooler is mounted. Almost UNDER the front plastic bumper!
Thanks for any comments....

I gained a bit of power from a 2.5" straight through exhaust, from the turbo back, I also mounted the intercooler on top of the motor, but didn't get much improvement from the shorter pipes.
A mate of mine (Ford mechanic) suggested that the factory injector pump tune is poor to start with, and should have been done after the zaust, but I never got around to it

It crapped the clutch today. 984km old. Apparently the pressure plate "died".
No apologies or nothing from ford. Just a bring it back and we'll fix it. Let alone the cruise control that is the most violent thing at 110kph I have ever witnessed! Another problem yet to be "understood". It's only on it's second tank of fuel! Imagine after 150,000km offroad!!!!
It's a company vehicle so I'm stuck with it until I get a new one (2-3 years)
I'll get a boost (sic) gauge and see where it's at...

mate for years i have been a ford man through and through ,but after driving the biggest piece of dog shit most days(a new v8 ford falcon ute) i reckon they are the biggest slug boxes known to man and the klunks and groans that come from them are unbelievable. My dad used to drive a vy ute and it also was a dog box. I think ford and holden are both very low standard cars .EDIT: there warranty attitudes suck balls
