Hi Chris,
Congrats and welcome to the DJ family. Be sure to listed for any signs of
Post Ignition. My favorite test is to run mine up a grade next to a concrete
wall, load the engine and listen carefully.
If you hear pings and clacks, you should be sure you have premium gas and
the timing set to keep it from doing that. This will greatly extent the life
of the engine.
Also, vehicles with DJs in Europe, without the Kat and with the DigiJet
system claimed to make 112hp and (the Tristars anyway) often came with a
sticker that says 112I on the right, below the front windsheild. I had some
of these made so I have one for my truck when it's paint time.
If you are interested in one, I'll be happy to sell one to you (still trying
to defray the costof having them made). Pretty cool and a match to the
original ones.
Congrats again,
Kim
