Hi,
Wondering if anyone has any thoughts on improving the performance of my diesel.
I did an engine swap taking out a 2.5l xd3 engine and replacing it with a 2.3l xd2. This engine is smoother but is lacking the pull and performance that the other engine had.
I retained the rebuilt injection pump (Bosch Ve) and have the wastegate disconnected.
The car isn't reaching the boost levels of the other engine and is blowing excessive black smoke under any throttle.
I have played with the fuel and timing like I did to get the performance on the xd3 but I'm having this problem with too much black smoke without getting good boost level. I'm unsure boost pressure level but just going off standard colour GTD gauge on my dash and how the car feels.
Also the car has exhaust resonance approaching 2500 revs. A lot lower in the rev range than the other engine. This means it's not pleasant around the 110km/hr which is annoying.
Thinking I may need to swap the turbo over. This one has a kkk and the previous a garret. Any thoughts? Thanks!
