1st gen power?

Postby florida4x4 » Thu Dec 11, 2008 9:41 pm

Hey all, I just bought a 93 w250 in great shape and only 123k on the odometer. The PO said it wouldn't pull so he put 4.10's in it. Even with the gears it pulls worse than my 90 burb with a 350 / 700r4 and 4.10 gears does. :shock:

I want to turn it up a little so I've been reading this forum. I guess I'm dense because I'm still not sure what I need to do! lol. I'm thinking turning up the fuel screw a couple turns is a good start. What about the star wheel and smoke screw? Am I talking about the same things here? Should I mess with the 3200 rpm spring? I think my top speed is about 85 the way it sits now. The gears aren't helping apparently. It goes without saying I want to preserve the MPG as much as possible too!

Anyway, I'd like to know how much power increase I can expect without getting a new turbo and injectors OR are they a necessity to keep up with a lowly gasoline burning suburban? Yeah, it's true, I'm not so impressed with this first gen but I do want to make it better and become a believer!!!
