low power when towing

How heavy is your van

Think your having a lend of us LOL

G'day Salt n pepper,
I reckon put really big wheels on the back of the car. Then you would be going down hill all the time.
Cheers Pete.

put a spoiler kit on it and tint the the windows, a big bonet scoop will help with air flow to.

I think it's maybe the Aussie flag draped over your front number plate slowing you down. Replace it with a couple of Hiclones. And perhaps get rid of the fancy decals on the sides of the van...... they would be simply adding unnecessary weight.

Oh, and try adding some of that silicon additive to your gearbox!

Perhaps it will work better if you get the van to tow the Suzi.

Salt,

I think you should fit a 6.5 litre turbo charged Chevvie V8 in the back of the suzzie as a starter motor.

Cheers,

Mate, the solution is so simple, and ya don't need to spend doosh ya haven't got, on stuff ya don't need, that might, or might not, work.

When ya go camping, make sure you've got at least 4 of ya best mates going with ya. Before ya go, grab some bikes off the verge that are being thrown out, and strip the pedals, sprockets and chains from them.
Cut holes in the passenger side and back floors, and rig the pedals, chains and sprockets, so they're connected to the tailshaft of the Suzy.

A bloke with your skills, could knock this setup up, just on a Saterday arvo, with the aid of a slab, an oxy set, a Chinese MIG welder, and a handful of nuts and bolts from Supercheap!

Once ya get going, when a hill comes up, tell ya mates to start pedalling like crazy! The power boost will be nuthin' short of amazing, mate! You'll be able to blow off Commodores with Chev badges on them, like they were Mums Camry!

I know all about this technique, 'cos me and my mates used to run a Kombi van, and that's what we had to do, to get up hills!
It was that successful, people used to think we had a Porsche engine transplant!
Go fer it, mate! - you'll never have that lack of power feeling, ever again! Don't forget to post lotsa pics of the moddies!

Cheers - Ron.

Or paint the car red; everyone knows red cars go faster.

Not too sure about a Hiclone but if you can put a sail or wind catcher on the van a Cyclone might help.
At least you have something big enough to park in when there are hailstones forecast.
The twin turbo option Suzuki is offering on some models will be of benefit and should improve the climb ability too.

Put it on the train to Darwin Salty. It's all downhill from there.

This rig has the same problem. It was something to do with the power the stereo was dragging from the alternator

Sounds like a Truckster type question!

Kind regards

You're bleep tin' us aren't you. Hope the tail doesn't wag the dog.

I like it!

A 150hp nitrous kit and a 9 psi blower will have it overtaking anyone up the hill brother, be glad to fit it for you free of charge just buy it and pop over.
