I have a defender 90 200 tdi and i was wondering if anyone has any tips on how to increase the power / performance of the engine. Thanks
 
im tol dthem hi clone fans that u put in the air filter box are pretty nifty, im waiting for mine to arrive through post now, meant to improve bottom end power and fuel ecconomy. mm landrover have em. just google it.
 
I was relitivly sure they were a con, but tell us if it helps. Ive sawn my mid-pipe off and welded in a bit of pipe, seems to have more mid-top end power, but not much. Bit noisey though.
 
increse turbo pressure by shortening waste gate actuator rod and tweak the injection pump. lots of articles on how its done around

Well, if youve ordered it already, you can be our guinipig. :D

But if not, i wouldent bother. A device to cause turbulance in a tube where air has just been/about to go through and air box/turbo, will be quite turbulant already. I cant see them doing anything usefull.

MMMMHHH I'm sure it's a coincidence ;) ;) but why is it that everytime some one mentions tweaking there car summone come's on and asks about the hi-cons, what they've just ordered but haven't arrived yet. Am taking bets on how long it is before ya star singing there praises. While every other fooker on here tells ya what a load of ****e they are. :D
 
Cap'n Chaos got one of them hiclone thingies (it was a freebie and i think he fitted it as a bit of an egg spear i ment) but he says it wqas a complete waste of time and is very glad he never paid for it. PM him if you want some info on it! (from the horses mouth, rather than my daily mail style reporting!)

Yep! I smell the same rat.
When air has passed through the violence of a turbo it's pretty damn turbulent by the time it get's to where it's going.:D
Rob....not a gadget man.
