how much more do yo want? how much do you haved to spend?

if you want enormous power and don't care about fuel, put a V8 in it. If you want to keep it diesel, put a chev V8 6.5 turbo in it or find a 1HD-FT from an 80 series in it, and put a bigger/high-flowed turbo in it, with your intercooler etc. If all you want is a fast car, ditch the 4WD and get a WRX.

that said, if your 1HZ with all that gear is tuned correctly it should be making more power than that. how much boost are you running? which turbo? which intercooler?

i am running 11lb boost but i make max boost at 2050 rpm i got 446nm its nice but i just feel like i should have more. the turbo is a schwitzer S2A with a hi flow turbine housing its a denco kit.

how big is your intercooler and where is it mounted and what type is it? (top? front? air/air or water/air?) with that turbo high-flowed, GOOD intercooling and boost compensation I wouldn't hesitate to turn it up to to 14psi or higher, make sure it is fuelling correctly with the use of an EGT gauge. There is a diminishing return with high boost on indirect injected engines, you start wasting a lot of energy (therefore generating a lot of heat) because you have to pump all the air through the precombustion orifice (about the size of your little fingernail) - the only way to get more power from an otherwise similar engine is to start with a direct injected engine.

your setup should be good for a reliable 175 flywheel kW if the intercooler is very effective - ie around 150 - 160 hp at the wheels.

I'd be looking at the tuning/fueling with those numbers. How many KM on motor?? Have a 3" exhaust??

My 1HZ 80 series has a DTS (MTQ) kit, boost compensater, and 3" mandrell exhaust, makes 90.4kw ( 122hp), and 519nm @ wheels, at 11-12psi, non intercooled, std TD05H turbo supplied with the kit. EGT's is max 561deg C.

It has 35" BFG muds on it too. You can always dial in 15-16psi with a simple bleed valve, then see how it goes :twisted:

I got a dts intercooler, egt and boost guages, the boys at northside 4x4 at caboolture set it up then i had it looked at gympie rv as well. it wont make any more boost than 13.5 lb. and its just a basic DTS top mount intercooler. i wanted 2 run hi boost but i think my turbo is 2 small or just is'nt suitable for hi boost. they told me if i put 35 bfg i would get at lest another 5 hp out of it. its sumthing 2 do with the the flex in the micky t or sumshit. thanks 4 ya help bud
