[gfmr]

i got 99 transit but not very good power wise
compared to father laws p reg same van
his is 10 times quicker. y i havnt a clue but its 1 of a kind for a transit having loads of power.

any way iv done all usual: fuel filter , blowed all fuel lines out tweaked inj pump and check for ibvious faults.
as for the egr mod iv just stoped the vacume pipe up. stop it working sure its the same as stoping the port off, is it ????

You could turbo it

Perhaps somebody's fitted the wrong injection pump to yours

Give us the numbers from both your pump and injectors

Is it a 70PS or a 76PS banana

[gfmr]

its the banana type engine i belive 76
the bosch pump its got on it cant remember full number but it ends 145
going on my last posts recived its got the correct pump & injectors ( red )
thanx. gaz.
the thing that made me thing injectors its 99 bottom end & 98 head
and thorght if the injectors were different and they just left the ones in that come with the 98 head.but going on info recived all are same. arnt they ?

Should be compatible on those two years

Checked the timing belt and tappets

What's the diff ratio of both vans

yes mate done the tappits
also put a belt on it when i had it , just timed it back up on the pins & had a play with pump timing. but not realy made lot of difference.
as for the diff ratio ???
i can do 90 om motor way / carrage way
as for father law van still do 85
so as for ratio would say its same or very simlair but his pull like a train.
thanx.gaz

Yours isn't full & his empty?... just a couple of m/bikes in mine and it makes a big diff'
