just thought i would put on the few things i have done and the differences they made.
I know it will never be a 4.0l . That is why i have tried not to spend to much money.
1, 31" tyres, this made the gearing high and i pretty much lost the use of 5th gear.
2, my exhaust was rotton, so i bought a universal sports cat of ebay(£38) and universal straight through stainless silencer(£50).
plus adaptors. total about £110.
This made a real difference and i could use 5th gear a bit more.
3, 4.0l throttle body(£6) off ebay. I put a throttle helix on at the same time. Also matched it to the inlet manufold.
Only a very tiny slight notice in power.
4, my mate had a spare pipercross cone filter, so i thought i would try it.
This made a real difference. maybe allowing the bigger throttle body and helix to work properly.
I now have a 2.5 that drives ok with normal use of 5th gear.
anyone needs any info on these simply mods, i will try to help.
