Calling all Daihatsu Experts

(1/1)

Hobnailkelly:
My Rangie has a 2.8 Daihatsu TD lump under the bonnet which is ok but I would like a bit more power out of it. Actually I would like a LOT more power out of it but I am a realist!  
Is it possible to fit an intercooler from a 2.8 TDi, or any other intercooler to this or would it mean changing the engine/turbo etc.  
How much power increase can I expect?
Is it worth the hassle?
Is there a cheaper/easier way to increase poke?

winchman:
Leave it well alone, just drive it!
I had a 2.5 NA in my Rangie, then a 2.8 NA both slow but 30 mpg.
Its just not worth the hassle , if you want faster you will loose economy, stick a 200TDi in it, bit faster but the Diahatsus are bullet proof and simple to fix.
Ask Graham Dewhurst he is a Diahatsu breaker up north, he is very helpfull and knows his stuff.

Drift:
With the Isuzu 2.8 (I know not the same) a bigger intercooler and fuel pump tweaks can give more power, not sure if its applicable to yours.

Fingers:
I know a turbo and intercooler from a Pjiero (sp) will fit and improve the power a fair bit, but no idea how its done im afraid or what other bits need to be changed too.
