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

<< < (2/3) > >>

DAVE V8:
hi ,quick update,took it off road sunday ,supprised me how well it did ,although slow on road ,off road it did pretty well,broke rear diff though,so found out rear diff ratio 3.5,thats perhaps why its seems well high geared/low power engine/guttless on road,so gonna enjoy it for now and aim at putting 200tdi in ,when engine gives up or funds allow !!aim to fix it for whaddon on sunday for a play,anyone going ?????all the best dave..

im runing a 2.8 turbo diehatsu engine in a 109 fitted it in jan and its a lot beter than the old petrol i hd a 200tdi but the 2.8 was a easyer fit  for me  and it pulls as good as a 200tdi when it blows i may think about a tdi but untill them  id recomend one  i had a fourtrack with 180k on it and still going strong un touched and seen them with 250k on them. i get 60mph out of it nicely can maybe get 65-70 pushing it. i am runing 9.00 x 16 tyres though witch gear it up i know doing 60 now the speedo only reads 50  :lol: id leave it in

DAVE V8:
hi mate,a lot of people say good things about these 2.8s,the fact its already in ,if a decent priced turbo lump turned up it certainly would make me consider it,be a nice quick change over and a  bit more power,wouldnt have to buy anything  .all the best.

cooper956:
only thing you need to do when fitting a turbo one in place of a na is chop a lump out of the passenger footwell and wing suport as the turbo hits the footwell and u need a odd looking downpipe i made mine out of a few bends and welded them together works well but i havwnt done the rest of the systom yet still rining landy one witch ristrics it a bit its got more grunt and sounds better with just the down pipe on  :lol: so soon when i get a chance will make a biger bore s8 though syistom.

cooper956:
oh as for offroad now its just as good if not better but u do have to rember not to floor it as much as the extra power spins the wheels more and loses grp just fether it till u need to floor it and it will go most places i point it on the 9,00`s
