2000 NM pajero 2.8td 4 cyl turbo diesel - anyone know the best way to get better power out of this motor ?? thanks

Not sure about this motor in particular, but generally speaking the best way to get more power out of a turbo diesel is to replace the factory exhaust with a more free flowing system.

thanks, was wondering gains with snorkel ? comp chip ? etc

I doubt you'd get much of a power gain from a snorkel (still a worthy investment though) and generally a chip will have best results where the exhaust has been upgraded.

As it's a 2.8TD and not a 3.2 DiD, I'd go..............
1. extractors; *****what was I thinking???????
2. 2.5" mandrel exhaust with free flowing muffler (or none at all) etc;
3. snorkel;
4. injectors and pump serviced;
5. upgrade turbo.

Extractors with a turbo? Are you sure you don't mean a high flow manifold and dump pipe?

Best gains will be a larger dump pipe and a 2.5 to 3 inch mandrel bent exhaust.

Having owned a 1KZ-TE Hilux this mod gave me easily 20% more power.

You could also invest in a larger intercooler. Not cheap but again more power.

Not a cheap option. Possible 15% power gain for $4500 - rebate.

Also need to watch your EGT with this setup.

Just up the boost to 20psi and turn the fuel up a bit.

Hi,

I'm running the 4M40 2.8 with mech injection pump, how do you up the fuel a bit?

I know how to boost the pressure but then have the EGR blow off problem. How will extra fuel help?

Thanks
