SERIES 2 SWB FITTED WITH 2.8 DAIHATSU,HOW CAPABLE????

<< < (3/3)

Bigant45:
Hi, Ive JUST FITTED A 200TDI TO MY SERIES 2A. IT took me two weekends to remove and fit. It was very easy to do and cost very little to prep. Aw-some engine.

winchman:
I have had a Range rover with a 2.5 Diahatsu in then we swapped this for the 2.8 non turbo ( as the pump was playing up and it was cheaper to change the engine)
Its not the fastest off the mark but it would cruise at 70 and give 30mpg, the torque is excelent, and I would have another no problem, any 4x4 isnt ment to be fast and these engines are extreamly robust and very simple.

NiteMare:
i've no idea about the Diahatsu engine, but my 88 has the 200Tdi in it along with 3.54 diffs and 7.50x16s...

 first gear low ratio it'll crawl thru just about anything, took it to the pay and play just outside Wooten Wawen (can't remember the name of the place) 28th December and the only thing that stopped it was when i dropped it onto the gearbox crossmember and both axles in a pair of very deep ruts :lol: second gear low ratio and i could spin the tyres up nicely when climbing over the banks to cut to the stiffer mud and keep my treads clear ...

cruises happily at 60-65mph and my brother has chased me at a shade over 75mph in his VW Passat, time to fit my overdrive i think  :evil: i've no idea of the actual mpg i get as i don't think about it, i just know it's lots better than i got out of the old 2.25 diesel that was in it when i bought it
