Modern diesels have a throttle body that closes on idle to reduce emissions But yes that was a troll post, Demon caught me. | ||

Either way, these old diesels work on black magic. The throttle response is probably non-linear because it takes an animal sacrifice to properly calibrate the injection pump. Electric injection is the best thing to happen to diesel technology. |

You won't really start building boost till you're really laying on the pedal. These aren't the most sophisticated turbo setups. |

I'd still take it to a specialist and have them calibrate the injection system. Particularly if you get a bio-diesel or straight veg oil setup. If you really want to make it respond better, put a more modern turbine on there. |

The parts won't be cheap, but good luck getting any sort of parts support 30 years down the road from a domestic. I think you're probably safe to daily drive it for a long time. Just over 100 horses isn't particularly taxing on a 3.0. The transmission I have no idea about, I don't do automatics. I know a manual swap in these things isn't unheard of. |

It's normal for diesels, its not made for throttle response and acceleration. It is made for torque and fuel economy. | ||

Can't have enough ships in the dreaded Imperial starfleet. Has anyone else worked on these cars here? |
