engine performance

[HYPERMONKEY]

just out of interest if one was after more power from a 3.0td apart from
buying the intercooler version how could one tweak the engines performance,what have some of you guys done

I think we discussed this a while back,
there are many options, chipping from 330/125 to 480/200, (watch the gearbox fall apart) then Performance exhaust, K&N filters, high lift cam, porting, gas flowing, fitting an intercooler, upping the turbo, fitting water mister to the inlet etc.
Just it does pay to remember that the most expensive option is always to try to make a slow car faster, buying a fast car is far far cheaper.

Best of luck though,

Buy us all a beer and a sossie sandwich and everybody on the site will give you a signed note saying your smurf is the fastest........

Im with the gnome guy!
Infact beer not required, just a sossie sandwich, sossie still hot, plenty of ketchup on thick white bread, lightly toasted with plenty of butter!

Oh god Im drooling into the keyboard at the thought!

I agree with the notion to, buy a Mazda Rotary to go fast and keep the surf for practicality
