Gutless wonder

Postby localhandy » Wed Mar 25, 2015 9:37 pm

Hi there just bought a new van and the thing is gutless. It's a 90t350 lwb hi-top red ex Morrison's van with a tacho fitted is there a fuse which can be removed to improve performance?

Well I've never heard of. Fuse that will make it faster.

Maybe a service.

If I remove the tacho could that cancel the speed limiter? Will also give it a service this weekend as I will not be using the van until the beginning of April.

no
the tacho will be separate to the speed limiter

the limiter will be programmed to the ecu on the van

On ids there is a setting for the speed limiter but that's top speed not the bhp getting there.

The limiter restricts the top speed to a max of 50 or 60 or 70mph. Not the amount of power the engine gives out.
