Hi @MICHAEL PAJERO single door I am somewhat surprised that the performance of your Pajero is not satisfactory. A 3.8 two door Pajero is usually more than powerful enough to tackle any terrain in stock condition, let alone after doing performance upgrades like better intake and exhaust systems. I suspect there is another issue with your Pajero that is holding it back from unleashing its power. Unfortunately there could be many possibilities, like timing, engine wear, injectors, fuel distribution, spark plugs, etc.. Do you have the maintenance history of this car ? Has the engine been replaced or rebuilt ? Is the maintenance fully up to date ? I would get the manifold welded or replaced with a scrapyard one if you can find it. Adding a performance muffler and slightly bigger diameter pipe can help the car to breathe more easily, but I think in your case there is something else holding it back. I faced a similar issue with my 99 3.0 Pajero years back. It simply had no power. Took many mechanics and lots of trials until a mechanic found out that the timing was set wrongly. Took him 15 mins to adjust and it turned into a completely different car.

POST OF THE YEAR. So perfectly elaborated!!

@Looper@Gary F@Benjamin any inputs on this ? Doesn’t the Jeep stay on rev limiter while flooring in first gear ? Or do you guys play with the throttle to keep it just before it hits the limiter ? My trooper has no limit . 😜
