I don't actually have one of these (hopefully someday) but spend some time on a Volvo board and the question of more power from a Volvo Diesel comes up now and again. I have read here about a guy here (Dr. Diesel?) that tweaks the pumps for the 4 cylinder VW IDIs and his results sound great, can he do the same magic for a 6 cylinder pump? I also have read about replacing the fuel pin in the pump for more power, anyone got a link to the process, where to find the parts etc.
Thanks, Jack

On the old board, 2383 GTD had a turbodiesel in a Volvo 240 that he modded into a very fast quarter mile car, IIRC. He had some great insights into getting the best from the Volvo/VW 6 cylinder turbodiesel.
Unfortunately, someone either hacked his account, or he chose to delete every single one of his posts. So it's now lost to archival memory.

in doing a high performance pump for u.

Cool I'll be able to pass the info along to some Volvo owners! And someday I will require your services. So with 115 out of 1.6 L can you get about 170 from a D24? Is there a source for larger nozzles for the older VW/Volvo Diesels to go with the pump upgrade?

hey all, I'm also from over on t-bricks. 'jackbombay' thanks so much for your help! alright, so I'm here now, whereabouts are you located Giles? Sounds awesome that I might be able to get that much power out of my engine with turbo-ing etc. etc. I've been considering a swap to a B21FTi or something like that, but I've decided to stick with the D24 engine. So I am definetly looking for ways to increase the power.
...accidentily made a new thread on this topic as well...

Giles, if you're getting that much horsepower out of a 1.6, how long can you hold it at full throttle?
Do the EGTs spike up so that power is not sustainable? Is this just for a 15 second run, or could you hold it at that rate for 30 minutes up a steep mountain grade?

we haven't got an EGT gauge on his car.
we did about 5 good dyno pulls on his car up thru 3rd gear
at the end his coolant temp was kinda high
we should get a good exhaust temp gauge though

I'm in lower mainland (Vancouver area) of BC Canada. I'm thinking of tuning my pump in some way, I found a way to adjust my idle, i think thats all I've really discovered. I'll look more into it before I actually go messing with it. I'm really wanting to change the exhaust on it too, mines about 70% corroded. Still runs fine, once I can get it started again... :oops:
