okay so its not mine its my sisters but she has been complaining about it having no balls and not beeing able to drive up some hills

i told her its cause its an auto lol but then i took it for a drive and when i tromped on it its did nothing for like 7 seconds then it donwshifted and went about 5kms faster? haaha

anyways ive had the same D15 in my car and i know its not the best but i dont remember it being this bad

when she bought the car it was only running on 3 cylinders and was even slower so i swapped heads and its a bit better

did i mess something up or is it just that slow?? :cry:

honest question, not to insult. did you check the head over before you put it on, also did you check your internals over before you put your new head on? i also believe a compression test is in order.
