Can you tell if there is a noticeable power difference between the Renix motor and the HO?

Expand  

The old motor was running on its last breath so its a big differens now , did use the HO head ,intake  and injectors . Trottle body and rest is renix.

The HO motor has more power so i belive its a noticeable difference, can't say for sure whit this hybrid/bastard engin:laugh:

the HOs have a tiny bit more at the top end, but the renix has a tiny bot more at the bottom end.  the engines are more or less the same.  the later fuel injection systems are the big difference, but it's not in felt power, but rather more reliable wiring and 91-95 has OBD1 and 96+ is OBD2 for easier diagnoses.

What is that cover behind the battery?  Makes the engine bay way cleaner!

better injectors and the bored out TBs are good ways to boost power. :L:  if you haven't seen it yet, there's a guy in the "vendor" section of the classifieds that bores out the renix TBs.

Kjell your MJ is coming along nice, looks real good for being parked since 01. Do you know what the purpose of the cover is behind the battery? Or what it’s even called? I think I wanna look for one of those, it really cleans up the engine bay.

It's the relay cover. Used is your only option. Mine was missing when I got my truck also. Really cleans up that side of the engine compartment.

So finaly found some Volvo/bosch injectors(0280 155 746),ended up snitching them out of a volvo that the guy at the junkyard drove to work with... still warm:))

 

Installed injectors and scrapped the c101 connector at the same time :banana:

I can't say what made the biggest difference connector or the injectors, 

Maybe I woke up some sensor that fell asleep ,can say it runs great much smoother and better gasresponse :L:
