governor mod

[guy plain]

 will the governer mod be worth doing when you still have  a stock exhaust and air box? upgrades are planned but .... if the mods will help now ..why not do them while i have the time ..lol

Course it will. The stock exhaust and intake will support a bit more air flow than they are using

[trav1856]

rule of thumb.....


..the governor mod= Always Good. ;-)

gov mod is what makes my car have power all the way up to 5300

a Turbo diesel!? Oh man there is lots to do. Up the fuel, up the boost, intercool it.

make it fast, you can do it for almost free 

Jike Jeremy already said tho, gov mod, crank in your fuel screw, advance your timing a lil bit, turn your boost up, intercool it..

the 2 most important things to have when modifying a VW diesel:

boost gauge & EGT gauge (pyrometer)

then you should have a car that will eat stock 16vs for breakfast..

lol sounds sweet....the 3 pump mods i know of are 1 gov mod...2 smoke screw mod (aneriod pin?) 3 pump advance mod....so shoul i do all 3 .... or do 2 or one...lol will all these mods work together?

im running a n/a engine converted to TD.. used a VNT to turbo it.

advanced the IGN timing. did the gov mod (first mod on all my diesels) cranked up the fuel till the throttle would ALMOST hang.

also intercooled it.

the VNT i used is off a 2001 TDI engine.. its a stock VNT15 garrett. my car hauls @$$.. plain and simple..

my diesel would keep up with an SRT4 if i had a better trans in it.. my buddy thinks its hilarious that a diesel rabbit can just about keep up with his SRT.. if i had nitrous, or more turbo, i would run that car down, no problem.

 well i do know about deisels...big ones..lol but NOS  wont do a dam thing for you...theres one way it will help but its not needed....go propane.....works like NOS on  deisel.....once you have the propane hooked up you can add NOS to that....the propane is like NOS to diesel..the NOS  will boost the propane...its a double kick in the @$$ ..lol plus a much ...much ...MUCH!!!  shorter engine life...some trucking companies have tried this...making small engines put out big power to save on fuel....but you know truckers...like they wouldnt use it any chance the got ...lol so they did save on fuel...but lost savings + on engine replacements...those engines never had a chance to wear out lol

[guy plain]

oh ..btw ... propane it a hell of alot cheaper and you can get it any where lol

 well ever thing ive read...not saying its all true...and things from people in the deisel biz...have told me NOS  on its own dosnt do well with deisel.... but... propane and NOS  really bring out the hp...propane oxidizes the deisel...NOS  oxidizes the propane....more therow burn...like i said so i have read and have been told...and whos to say the truck on the left isnt running propane as well..lol unless you know the truck personaly.....
     ps
 im not trying to be a snot...or argue ...(or spell good lol) these are the things ive been told .in shops by mechanics that i trust...and that was a few years ago...mostly mechanical deisels...maybe different with the computrs they use now..

[R.O.R-2.0]

propane also BURNS YOUR PISTONS a hell of alot easier too..

nitrous is a chemical intercooler, and an oxidizer.

propane is a fuel.

2 completely different things, not even comparable.

get it straight.. 

[guy plain]

huh here i thought the bigger truck companys with the big bucks and knolagable people would have a good idea....seen it done...propane is a dry fuel...sure...but deisel is also a lube...and you think NOS isnt dry? lol 12 years of trucking ive seen some odd things done to and with deisel engines
