Article
Engine
Performance Thanks
to a group effort from a number of site users, this article looks at why
engine performance
is a key issue for 4WD owners. We discuss your options when looking to increase engine
performance such as adding turbos, superchargers, exhaust systems, extractors, and
engine management chips, plus we discuss the basic pros and cons of
running petrol vs diesel motors and even a little about custom
conversions... This
article is the first of more to come on the new Topic "Service
and Mods".

Opalton & Haddon Corner.
