Teeth? LUXURY! When I was a child we ate by putting rocks in our mouth and jumping up and down.
4500 - 5000, somewhere around there. I can't really remember.Really!?What is the redline on it? That must be a short 5th gear?
Nah, it's a standard GM gearbox, designed with a petrol in mind.

No point reving past 4k rpm due 4k being where the turbo is boosting fully ive found.

Maximum torque is at 2400 and maximum power is at 4200.
I don't make a habit of revving mine any higher than 3500.

I felt I should make my presence known.
I also have one of these engines in my veccy, it's a cool engine. And I've found its relatively possible to tap your right foot along to the music, it doesn't make much differense to the driving haha.
Definately agree with the power/torque comments as well, I'm getting used to it on mine. First turbo I'm driven, let alone first diesel, so it's taken a while.
Mines goes to 4k in most gearscant beat watching the boost gauge up to 1 bar.

One of the things I love the most, is driving pretty much anywhere in 3rd and 5th
Uhoh...a bit of a tight corner...no probs, drop it to 3rd...back up to 40 back into 5th lmao
Yeh i always drive it in 3rd, and also sat in traffic i just leave it in 2nd and start off in 2nd.
Oh and overtaking is so much easier, stick it in 3rd, above 2k revs and off you go.

mm diesel lovin right here!!
Mine goes to 4k in every gear.Mines goes to 4k in most gears
Get some photos of how you've plumbed your boost gauge in.I've got one on the way.

Nah, throttle response isn't amazing, but it's a relatively small engine in a big car.
Once you get over 2500 or so it starts to pick up a bit.

Ok, smarty pantsMine goes to 4k in every gear.

My boost gauge is taped on to my dash

I'm going to put mine in a vent. Going to make an MDF peice to go in the hole, or get another vent and cut the plastic so the vent retains some of it's functionality.

Ill change my boost gauge holder when i can be assed, so more than likely will stay like that.

make it look like your trying get it piller mounted
Anyone know what gearbox is on the blacktop gm lump in my van, i cant find a box stamp anywhere.
Here's mine.Get some photos of how you've plumbed your boost gauge in.
(red arrow is boost pipe through into gauge in dash)
I hit the limiter in 5th trying to keep up with a mates XE Nova, lol. What top speed would that have been ?
Mk2 3.0 V6...13.907@100.66
14.166@102.97 D'oh !
Is that the small pipe on the back of the inlet manifold that goes to the fuel pump?
Actually, makes a lot of sense to t into there. I was wondering where to stick mine.
Probably about 115 - 120mph. I got mine up to 110mph and it was still pulling, but I didn't dare take it any further. I didn't fancy getting it towed back from Farnborough!

I'm the one that should be confused.The black clouds are un-burnt diesel because you're injecting in too much fuel for the volume of air in there.
You're deliberately overfuelling it massively, to make sure that nearly all the air is used. Manufacturers don't do this, they'd prefer nearly all the diesel to be used instead, for emissions and economy.

my corsa i converted from D-TD rev'd to 6,200oddMines goes to 4k in most gearsi wonder one day while out with the CS lot there was a '*HUGE!*' cloud of smoke come from the back of it
it ran fine after...was a little worried somit was a miss under the bonnet though
ANDYRACER this is exactly what i was trying to tell u in my PM's for u to run the boost gauge off.
Look closerit's probably an F13WR with a 3.74FDR F13 identification
(there are some 17dtl's with F15WR and a 3.55FDR out there)
Ahh cheers MM, is that also the pipe u ran the bleed valve off aswell?
Rememeber Pop Up Headlights are the Future!
Im looking to fit a boost gauge to a mates 1.5td corsa 2day.... would i be correct in connecting the t-piece to the pipe between the inlet manifold and the top of the injector pump????
cheers
To The Redline----> And Beyond--------------->
I really should read full thread first... lol
cheers
To The Redline----> And Beyond--------------->
No, that pipe goes from the inlet manifold to the fuel pump, to tell the fuel pump how much boost is being run and to adjust the fuelling accordingly.
You could bleed valve it if you really wanted to, but all you'd do is lower the fuelling.

Err, yes
(sorry about the delayed reply)
What mileage are you guys tuning these engines at ? Mine has done about 170(ish)k, i know they're capable of 250k+ but surely not when 'tweeked' ?
