ideas for more torque/ power

[craig1992]

Anyone out there with a d5 engine got any suggestions on what I can do to improve torque values and gain a quicker pull from 30+. It's already remapped to 215bhp from 185 and guessing it has around 430n/m torque but want to improve both acceleration and pull.

How much you got to spend?? Next step is a turbo upgrade, intercooler upgrade, full exhaust system, and a custom remap.

[craig1992]

I'll upgrade as possibly and where would be best place to source turbos and such as whenever I've looked it's a hybrid turbo upgrade or intercooler has to be custom therefore carrying a price

[martin_r_smith]

It's all going to be custom. These aren't really the diesel tuners choice so bolt on parts are few and far between. I'd stick with what you have or buy a faster car.

Are you sure your car is running correctly now? 215bhp and all that torque shouldn't feel too slow at all.

[craig1992]

I think it's 215 and 440nm just want something a little quicker but can't afford a faster car due to insurance purpose's as I'm only 23

Clutch will take a hammering depending on the torque delivery!

My 2008 V70 D5 185 has the polestar remap and is automatic.
I struggle to get the power down without wheelspin in 1st and 2nd as the box changes up.
Its fine at higher speeds and has loads of torque but I doubt the drive train could cope with a lot more without getting lots of torque steer.
I would say its as quick as my 3.2 V6 petrol C class merc and a lot heavier.
Also I hate to bring the subject up but these mods should be notified to your insurance to guarantee you are covered which will make the premiums higher anyway as I suffer with even though I'm 55.
Mine has covered 44000 miles and I have improved the running dramatically by putting an egr cleaner(Halfords) in my last couple of tanks of fuel.
Good luck and keep us informed.
