I'm trying to improve the performance of my 1995 24V 4.2 Diesel.
I've made the fuel pump mods mentioned on LCOOL which significantly improved the low speed pickuup. There is still a slight hesitation at around 1800rpm. Problem is that I've not been in any other 80 series so don't know what to expect. My 2.4 LJ70 feels significantly quicker but is also a lot lighter.
Next thing to try is to deactivate the EGR. I know this has been discussed on a number of occasions but all the posts I can find seem to be lacking photos.
So, with reference to the attached pic:
1. The rusty pipework shown is the EGR?
2. I should reroute the vacuum pipes between the valves and the solenoids to deactivate it as shown by the yellow curve.
3. The solenoids are shown on the right of the picture pointed to by the yellow arrow?
Anything else I should be aware of?
Cheers
Richard
