• Hello folks...
  
  I'm working on a Volvo D24T and need to know if anyone out there has any idea how to tune the injection pump.. or if it can even be done, like on the VWs.
  
  I can take pictures if needed.
  
  The pump is a Bosch L116-3.

• Performance or just adjusting the pump back to spec?
  
  Here's a Volvo 2.4L fellow:

  I'm only familiar with VW 1.6 and 1.9 pumps but perhaps you can send a PM to dieseltech via the above link and ask as he's obviously already tuned his pump.
  
  Optionally (if you're going for performance), you can ask Superior Fuel Injection if they can overhaul & mod your pump. A DIY fuel screw and governor mod can't match up to Superior's quality work.
  
  I've done both and am much happier with Superior's pump.

• Hmm.
  
  I'm not really looking to.. hot rod the car.. but rather, get it running up to spec.
  
  
  For now.
  
  
  Hopefully someone has information, but these cars seem a bit rarer, and finding people (read: Shops) that know how to work on them is harder than finding a good VW TD shop.
  
  I might have to stoop down and buy the manuals for this thing... I'll go check if Don Docksteader has them.

• If all you are trying to do is set up the pump timing, then look at this:
