Lucas and t2 tuning

[andyyy]

It might also be worth seeing if you can tension the throttle cable using the clip against the rubber bush. If you can pull it through a notch or two before it begins to up the idle. Gives you better throttle response and a little bit more travel on the throttle lever. The governor set up in a Lucas is controlled by the max fuel/throttle screw if i believe. I may be wrong on that but it's been a while since i looked into Lucas pumps. But by winding the max fuel and removing or winding out the max rev screw the pump seemed to rev a bit more freely for a bit more longer so i'd say it's almost like a governor mod.

Already tension the throttle cable like the first thing I did after getting the car

So there's no internal governor that can be modified ? Not that I can really be bothered to strip a Lucas down just out of interest really

Seems like I now just gotta turn the Max fuel up as much as possible then iv reached the limit

There is some form of internal governing system that a member or two on here have modified but i'm not sure how or to what extent they worked. But getting a Lucas revving to 5k on boost isn't bad in itself so i never looked too much into tuning the nackers off them. That's pretty much it tbh mate. They don't have much to offer, but they have more than you expect.

Get a Bosch asap though. Their tuning capabilities are so much better. You probably know all of this anyway! A Bosch with LDA/Gov mod with take a T2 to 5-5.5k. Some people on here have ran pretty good power using stock turbochargers but it's not long before you want more...

Just want to max out what iv got tbh so will be staying Lucas cars not worth spending anything on I got it for the price of a Bosch

Eventually its enivitable that this will happen to it
