Land Rover Perkins Prima Engine Conversion
TDi and N/A engines have some fundamental differences, mechanical as well as fueling. The major mechanical ones being compression ratio and piston cooling. The injection pump is tuned to suit the type of engine and expected use, so I would expect an engine from a car to be set up with the flexibility required. There are ancillary differences between engines, the most obvious being different water and oil pumps on van engines. Sumps from cars have smaller capacity than vans. TDi engines have a different breather system with two hoses to the sump.

Steering Components TroubleShooting Tech Tips
Operation 1. Manual steering gear A. A mechanical means of steering control. 1. The steering wheel turns a shaft attached to the input shaft, which turns a spiral worm gear. The spiral worm gear turns an output shaft, which horizontally moves the pitman arm, drag link and steering arms, turning the front wheels. 2. Manual steering gear with valve-in-linkage assist. A. A mechanical means of steering with a hydraulic control valve and a cylinder. 1. The hydraulic control valve is installed in the vehicle drag link. 2. Turning effort applied to the steering wheel actuates the valve, which, in turn, directs hydraulic fluid from the pump to the power cylinder located in the steering linkage. 3. Semi-Integral Read more
2007 Land Rover Defender
Greater ability both on-road and off-road plus increased comfort, performance and refinement are among the major improvements introduced for the Land Rover Defender for 2007. A new 2.4-litre diesel engine offers increased torque and improved driveability while the new six-speed gearbox provides a lower first gear ratio, for better off-road control, and a high sixth gear for improved cruising refinement. Inside the vehicle, a new facia improves ergonomics, whilst new seating improves comfort for all occupants, from the four-seat Defender 90 to the five-seat 110 and 130 models. A seven-seat Defender 110 is also available.

Mazda MX5 ECU Denso Technical documentation
AIM has developed special applications for many of the most common ECUs: by special applications we mean user-friendly systems which allow to easily connect your ECU to our hi-tech data loggers: user needs only to install harness between the logger and the ECU. Once connected, the logger displays (and/or records, depending on the logger and on the ECU data stream) values like RPM, engine load, throttle position (TPS), air and water temperatures, battery voltage, speed, gear, lambda value (air/fuel ratio), analog channels..

What Do We Know About OBDII Now?
Illinois has been testing OBDII systems with pass fail criteria for about a year now, and we know much more about how the system works or does not work than we knew in January 2004. But first a quick review… A vehicle that is presented for an OBDII test will first receive a gas cap test and then be scanned through the DLC. The vast majority of the vehicles will in fact communicate via the DLC and most that will not are either missing B+ on pin 16 and/or ground on pin 5. If the vehicle will communicate via the DLC, a check of applicable readiness monitors will occur. If the correct number of monitors have been run, MIL function is analyzed and the vehicle passes or fails. This abbreviated explanation gives an overview of the test. More information is available in the Outreach OBDII seminars.

1984-1995 Honda Accord/Prelude InTank Fuel Pump
TEST 1. Turn the ignition OFF. 2. On the Accord, remove the screws securing the underdash fuse box to its mount. Remove the fuel cut‐off relay from the back of the fuse block and turn the block so you can see the relay mount. Use a jumper wire to connect the two left‐most terminals of the relay mount (terminal 1 to terminal 2). 3. On Preludes, remove the dashboard under cover; remove the fuel cut‐off relay from the fuse block. Use a jumper wire to connect the top 2 terminals (terminals 1 and 2) of the relay mount. 4. Disconnect the fuel line at the Read more
1994-1999 Dodge Ram Pick-Up Tubular Exhaust System
TUBULAR EXHAUST SYSTEM: These components are designed as a system to improve the exhaust efficiency of the Dodge 5.2L & 5.9L V8 engine. They are constructed of 409 HP stainless steel to better withstand the high heat present with the fuel-injected engine, especially when used for towing or other heavy duty applications. The stainless steel used for these systems is much more durable than mild steel, although it does not appear different in appearance. These systems can be identified by the part numbers on each of the major components. Note that a magnet will stick to this type of stainless steel; magnetic attraction is not a valid test for these systems. A performance gain can be expected by the installation of the system. This system does require welding for installation (see note below) and retains all O.E.M. emissions equipment.

2007 Peugeot 308 Diesel Hybrid (HybrideHDi)
This new 308 Hybrid HDi demonstrator represents another step on the path towards the planned commercialisation of the technology in 2010. Further evaluation of the original Peugeot 307 Hybrid HDi demonstrator in 2006 has confirmed the choice of a diesel engine, instead of a petrol engine, as the best option to provide the best reduction in fuel consumption and emissions.
The demonstrator is powered by Peugeot’s most efficient parallel hybrid powerplant to date, combined with a 6-speed electronically controlled manual gearbox. It has a 110 bhp 1.6 HDi DPFS diesel engine coupled with a 22 bhp electric motor providing a maximum power output of 132 bhp, comparable to that of the 308 with the 2.0 litre HDi DPFS 136 bhp diesel engine. Fuel consumption in the combined cycle is 83 mpg and 90g/km of CO2 or a reduction of 38% compared to an equivalent 308 diesel HDi model.
