Extra Horse power in land rover series…? you think I am crazy right..? I am sane and sober by all means, but yes, I am trying to squeeze few ponies power in dolly’s engine by adding SU carb instead of worn zenith and electronic ignition…
I hope I got few ponies already now, to squeze one more HP, I might as well decommission the current air filter and replace it with high flowing air filter… with something like this…

I hope it will add half or one more ponies.. :), but the next question is, with the extra horses… how do you “spend” it…? there are few options I have in my mind…
- Air condition,
- On board air pump and
- Power steering,
I finally decided to spend the horse power for Air conditioning as Jakarta is very hot and I frequently get stuck in Traffic jam… lot of choice on the air condition system and I just follow what ever the local garage suggestion on what brand to use…
Because I have plan to have double blower air condition and the Station wagon is big… we opt for bigger compressor as in below picture:

And the local garage made all the necessary bracket and fitting and install it in Dolly engine..

And this is when the new air compressor installed…

And this is the Engine bay af ter everything installed…

I still left the old non-functioning Air filter for two purposes:
- Just in case I will cross Sahara desert anytime soon.. I can connect it to the carburettor
- To hide the messy cable behind it (which it failed to hide it anyway :))
So that’s it for now… if you spend few extra horsepower with something interesting, please write it down below… Cheers
