Same for 1769cc turbo?

Was just clicking about, as you do, and came across this:

It'd be the same principle wouldn't it?

Sure i can see all the appropriate bits in there somewhere!

A mate was driving behind me yesterday, and apparently I'm already getting a "little too much" black smoke so it needs tweaking anyway.

Thanks in advance.

Pretty much yes, it all applies, or at least as much as I could be bothered to read!

It's been well mentioned on here before about tuning up TD's, but in essence the proceedure is the same be it 17 or 19 TD units.

Things like Bosch or Lucas pump make a difference (much easier to tune a Bosch pump)

Turbo makes a difference too, IE Garrett or KKK...

It's popular with 1905s but is it a good idea with the 1769?

the 1769 is a far better engine to tweek really. There's more meat around the cylinders, so they tend to blow HG's a tad less than the 19TD, Ok, it's only 3mm difference in the bore, but 3mm is still 3mm extra.

IMHO the 17 is a sweeter engine all round really.
