improving power from 2.8d hilux

Post by dmcruising »

i have a ln106 2.8d hilux and am wondering if i fit snorkel and extractors and get the injecters service will i gain more power it has done 330000klms i would like to put a turbo on but am thinking its a bit too old it is serviced regularly but has never had a rebuild. it is running fine but i just want an improvement.

thanks
dave

yeah mate I agree with thte others. put a turbo on it and bigger exhaust. On standard boost should last a while. The more boost you run the quicker it will kill your motor.

Can't beat turbo's but if a little is enough then extactors are ok thats what i have and it'll leave my mates dead stock 2.8's but it's not by much turbo's they wouldn't see me for dust :armsup: if i had the cash i'd get one tommorow

They are supposed to be slow. Take your time, and enjoy the drive. If you got some cash to spend, rebuild it, or get a 5l motor ( 3 litre diesel ).

Hilux's in fact all 4by's are meant to be slow. Even the fast ones are slow if you sit it next to a Falcon or Dunnydore, and they're not fast cars. Just like Turbz said take your time, enjoy just driving and looking around over the top of everyone. And then get a XR8 ute for the doeys and fast stuff!
