ive got a 1.8 td endura and ive got a bleed valve and huge filter..
wat else can i do next?
how do i turn the fuel up?
and does anyone know how to fit a dump valve to this?


cheers

 

to fit a dump valve you will need to operate it from the vacuum for the brake servo, created by the vacuum pump on the alternator on most diesels.

it will make NO performance gains, but will sound chav and crap

 

Im guessing from your question "how do i turn the fuel up" is to go with your newly fitted bleed valve.
However you do it. dont. Home tuning is the fastest way to kill an engine.

Gaining bhp is a fine science, thats why rolling road tuners charge so much, yet still get alot of work.

 

ok m8 cheers i will bear that i mind, i have only turned the bleed valve up to the spec that it can cope with according to a m8 of mine who works for fords.

 

well thats still to much already.
The spec a stock engine can deal with is what it comes with, unless you fine tune the fuel/air mix and ignition timing etc...

A stock engine can probably take more boost than std, but you got to adjust everything to go with it. Increasing the psi of the turbo alone is never a good idea.

 

ok m8 wat else do u suggest i do to keep it running tidy?

 

Sorry if i've come across as a bit of a negative nancy.
Its just you hear alot of stories like "I just wacked up the boost on my turbo and took the car down the road and now im sweeping up bits of my pistons?? why is this?" sorta thing.
Best way to keep an engine running tidy....leave it alone lol. Unless you have a good knowledge of mechanics and are familiar with the pro's and con's of your engine, whats solid, whats a common fault etc..

 

Ive been home tuning for years and never blown anything up, you have to start somewhere.

Diesels are pretty hard to melt too

 

thanx for thr advice neway guys, i watnt more bhp, but at the same time i want it 2 be reliable and want it 2 last lol
