turbo on a 2.5 n/a diesel??

(1/2) > >>

tjsj:
Hi just wondering if a 2.5n/a diesel in a 90 is adaptable to put a turbo of a 2.5 td engine? as i may have the chance to get a 2.5n/a 90 and i just dont think it will have enough power.

Xtremeteam:
you would have to drill & tap the block for the oil supply & make up a return in the sump,

Drilling the block aint as easy as it sounds having tried it :wink:

davidlandy:
i think that the pistons are different to for the oil ways and cooling

you will need a rad with oil cooler on it as well

fit it all, then realise that you were better off getting a cheap 200tdi from a disco and fitting that instead

tjsj:
o ok. just a tad more than simply bolting it on then! Is it easy to fit a 200tdi out of a disco into it?

davidlandy:
yep

just need a cheapo disco for 5-600quid fo rall the bits and an exhaust downpipe from steve parker landrovers for about £120

it fits straight in.

many people on here (including me )can talk thru the conversion, but it is well worthwhile.
