Dyno Tuning an NA 4D55
Posted: Sat Feb 05, 2005 11:49 am
Hello All,
I'll get straight to thew point! I drive an 83 SWB NA TD (with a brand new Turbo and turbo timer, plus many other new things). When my new Turbo was fitted I asked the guy who fitted it to dyon tune my car, with an emphasis on fuel economy, which he did. He set it up so I got the most of my top-end power and my fuel economy. Overall, it's pretty good. Cruising on the hwy is a breeze, and it tackles most hills with ease. What about the mid-range and low-range power I hear you ask? There is none! Previously I have my car dyno tuned about 6 months ago and this guy did a great job, focusing on the mid-range power and boosting the torque in all areas, but it seems that this most recent job has even dropped the torque in most areas. Is there anything that I can do without dyno-tuning my car again to boost the power in the low and mid ranges? Maybe a new exhaust (I currently have a 2 inch resignator system, which is pretty good). What do I do? Could somebody please help me with some advice?
Thanks,
Sam
p.s- I recently got a fuel reading of 8.7 L/100km, which is good. I would be happy with my fuel consumption somewhere in the 8's for country driving
