New off road motor

[solarman216]

Never had to slip my clutch ever :augie Low down torque seems fine on mine. Have you checked air filter or better still go KnN or similar.:augie
To improve things assuming no faults, I'd be looking at getting the turbo to spin up earlier , so get it breathing well. Bin the std turbo outlet elbow, it's a nasty bottle neck.
Then the usual EGR and throttle body flap. Check your intercooler for oil in it. Bin the oil blow by.
Just realised this was xcalibers truck. He ran veggie oil I think, so check/change fuel filter and lines for bungie rubber syndrome, that'll choke things up

Yes veggie, smells like a chip shop gonna be a while before I look at it, but have taken on board all your suggestions, the only test I have done so far is to run it up my lane, my petrols can go up with trailer on in 2nd at 1000 revs no prob, most of the naturally aspirated ones I have had here struggle at 1000 solo, and this one needed 1st, oh and it has a K & N, let you all know how I get on, will post all mods as I do them, but I must try and get my finger out as the other old girl is rather sick now, so will be stripping all the bits ready to go onto the new one, Rick

Bin the mini filter and replace the standard fuel filter

Replace fuel lines from tank to middle of vehicle

Check intercooler for leaks/oil marks where tubes meet end tanks

Blank egr

Remove linkage for throttle flap and fix open by adding 3 or 4 washers to spindle and tightening up

New maf

IMO these are essential when you first get your diesel Terrano

Plan on fitting an internal fuel tank so all fuel lines will be new and I will run on red derv so no need for a heated filter, will go through it completely, thanks for the input, Rick
