Hi guys,
I built an ALH M-TDI with Rover 300TDI Pump, governor mod, Bosio race520 (0,260) nozzles and GT2052 Wastegate Turbo at 26 PSI and big intercooler. The timing is set to 1.45.
My problem is, that I easily got about 120hp right from the start. Tweaking the settings on the pump helped me to get another 10-20hp, so I now might have 140hp.
This is less than I expected with my setup. I was hoping for 180-190hp.
Unfortunately I just get tons of smoke if I allow more fuel.
With an electronic pump 190hp at 26PSI are an easy job. I wonder why I cant manage to get this power with the Landrover pump.
Do you think it is the timing? The engine starts and runs absolutely smooth.
Thanks for your help.
