Go faster mods?

[bigfut]

Just bought a new Hiace, and wanted some thoughts on things to make it go faster, I realise its a diesel and its never going to be quick, but just after some ideas to give it a bit more pace. Cheers

is she turbo?

if not you can simply bolt a turbocharger onto a deisel, richen it up some (to make up for the compressed air), chuck a bit more boost in (8psi ish), and youll be away laughing.

mates mates mate etc has a safari which he bolted a turbo onto, runs 12psi. you have no idea how quickly this thing gets off its arse .

Czo, you do realise that converting to turbo is a little more than 'bolting on a turbo', right? If you're after simple mods to make it a little quicker, just do the basics, as per any car. I would suggest that if you want a quick car, the deisel wasn't the way to go. I'd be looking at an engine conversion.

[deaf_rattle]

only two things i see wrong with this
1 its a van
2 its diesel powered

sort those two things out and you might make some progress

they made deisel hiace vans >.> presuming its the same engine has the turbocharged ones (same block, different strokes to make up displacement / torque).

just goto a wreckers and grab the manifold's needed etc...

not that hard >.> costly yes, but what mods are free?

its a deisel, so um... i duno... only option is turbo the bitch

[MetalupYoAss]

Exhaust manifold with turbo >~$1000
Intercooler $200
Intercooler pipe work $200
sump modification + oil feed line $~100
downpipe + bigger exhaust atleast $500

thats atleast $2000 to get it turboed and its still going to be a slug
your so full of shit cozmo NZ stop talking out of your arse

[ChaosAD]

just use some octane booster and advance the ignition timing ay coz

[Stealer Of Souls]

Intake, exhaust. That's probably about it without doing silly things.

Saw an article on Autospeed where they did that to a Pajero I think it was. Made some improvement. Wasn't a flyer. But hey. Just discovered how good diesels are on hills with a van load of people!!!

cost me $235 for my intercooler, piping, turbocharger...

go down to a wreckers, i could pick the LOT up for around... 700ish?

i talk shit do i? least i dont pay 2k for a 700 job

Intercooler = stock, pipe work = stock.. turbo OMGOSH STOCK

sump modification... nick the sump off a hiace turbo... unless she comes from the block like my one... in which case ur $&#$% .

but you wouldnt rush in.

its a bloody deisel anyway.

Yeah I realise this, but it has to be both of these coz its for a courier run, so yeah. Intake and exhaust seems the way to go, and someone told me open up the injectors? but i didnt think the nz hiace was injected??

Well if it's anything like the diesel trucks i used to drive round wellington you open up the restrictions in the fuel lines/pump/injectors where ever the fuel flow is controlled on those motors and you make a bit more power!
Other than that yeah intake and exhaust is you only mods - mind you if you do an intake and exhaust you will really want to up the fuel a bit any way!

well um... deisels are injected.... you cant carbie a deisel...

more air + more fuel = more power.

I see, so opening up the injectors could be an option too

[ee904age]

What they said. Its not really opening the injectors it the injector pump you wanna play with. Diesels respond even better to cold air than petrol engines do so get the coldest air you can into it, although this will be easier said than done in a van.

[strap-on]

diesels go good with an exhaust too

the turbo hiaces are the shit, try find one of those engines, we have one at work and we wound the boost up a bit, nothing beats it up hills
