Interesting to read about different set-ups. My problem is that although I have a B20 with twin SUs, and the later dual downpipe (standard size exhaust) I find that I really slow up on motorway hills. Approaching a long hill at 70+ I find that it goes down to about 60 with no acceleration left in O/D. Downshifting to 4th helps a bit, but not much.
Flats are no problem and it will cheerfully go up to about the ton. Can you think of some main areas that might be affecting the pulling on hills? Thanks a lot. Tom |

Have you checked the compresion on all four cylinders, you may find that you are down on pressure. They should read about 175 psi.
