Re: Lorry :: 1989 Land Rover 1989 Range Rover 3.5 L V8 Aotomatic
Hi,
Spitronics fitted to my old Lorry 3.5L V8 RRC auto. Also overhauled the motor and had a few other engine mods. done: -
Branches fitted and coated in and out with ceramics.
SST 63mm ID free flow exhaust.
3.9 Cam fitted.
Gas flowed heads
1994 2.0L CLI model 8 Valve VW Jetta electronic idle valve. Marked A642 WAG solved the idle issue
What did I find after this?
Nice gains in power, probably a bit from the Spitronics but mainly the cam etc.
Better open road fuel economy by about 5.5% speed dependent, it's brick after all. Still need to do a longer trip.
Now the bad part. Cannot get the original tachometer that gets it's pulses from the alternator to work. WHERE to connect to and HOW do I correct this?
Not keen on fitting an aftermarket Tach.
