Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) 160hp Ip

160hp IP Bombing

From research on these forums, I've learnt that the 160HP P7100 doesn't have an agressive level of advance built into it and therefore timing on a 6BT using it can be a bit more radical.



The question is, how much? I was originally shooting for 15. 5, but other posts say the 160 can be bumped up a little higher.



Piers recommended the following bombs to attain 350ish HP without making excessive smoke (I prefer to burn as unobtrusively as possible with an eye on staving off the evil day of smog sanctions for older diesels):



3k GSK

ATS manifold

PDR HX35

#10 TST cam plate

PDR 215 injectors

PDR camshaft and lifters

. 191 delivery valves



Your constructive suggestions/opinions are most welcome.

Very smart to stay away from 370 injectors--bad mix with a 160 pump.



I'm moving up to a 215 pump for that reason.



Timing--MANY folks recommend 18-20 for the 160. Mine is at 16. 5--but it is coming off, so I won't adjust it again.



Overall, that sounds like a really sweet package. ENJOY!

Have mine set at 16. 5 ~ 16. 75 with no problems. I have a set of 215's sitting on the work bench, just not wanting to deal with the trans issues that are sure to follow!!!!
