| The Land Rover 4 cyl engine
has a lot of potential locked away inside.
For about the same price of a set of
tyres, you can fit the following to a regular 4 cyl engine and have
greatly improved performance and economy:
Performance Cam: Better top end and
torque, no loss in low end torque at all.
High Compression Cyl head : Increase
compression to around 9:1 without affecting reliability
Higher flow carb like Weber 34ICH, 36 DCD
or Zenith equivalent
The carbs are no longer available new - or very difficult to find. The
only carb options are a new Chinese or genuine Zenith carbs which work
very well but are not performance enhancing above the standard
Performance exhaust Manifold: Branched and
tuned exhaust manifold to replace the cast iron original
These manifolds are no longer readily available
Free-Flow pipe work and silencer : Help
the engine get rid of old exhaust gasses better.
Out of the above list the cam upgrade
gives the best performance increase, the higher compression head is
second in line.
The carb mod is
worth the extra money, especially if the existing carb is a
Solex.
