Hallo Chriso
Jou kar lyk baie goed en die mods ook.Mag ek vra wat daai 4.2 se krag is?( dit is mos n 4.2 diesel??)
Ek het n soortgelyk kar en het n 'home made turbo setup' gebou en op gesit.die kar loop goed,was nog nie by n dyno nie.
Moet nog klaar maak.

No surprise... it was!

Yep, ek het Ewald se Patrollie van sy hande af geneem

Frans, ek sit sommer 'n prentjie by van sy enjin se krag uitset. Die turbo begin eers lekker op dreef kom hier vanaf 2000 r/min, en as jy hom tussen 2500-3500 hou sal jy nie eens weet jy ry 'n diesel nie:

Voor & na die nuwe injectors...

Hi Christo.

Jy laat my nou nog meer daaraan dink om 'n turbo op my donkie te sit. Ek sien net 'n probleem as 'n mens op max krag ry gaan die ridders van die koelte bome baie gelukkig wees.

Jy weet nie dalk wat die Wringkrag nou is nie?

Geniet al daai krag.

Groete
