Diesel engine conversion for my Disco?

[Slunnie]

Why do you say that?

6.5turbo would be nice in the D2.

[stuee]

Before my old boy sold me his disco he got a quote from brunswick and they said the biggest they would fit into a disco was the 6.2 as the 6.5 and 6.5td were to big an even then i think the conversion was still around the $12000 mark. IMO I'd rather sell the v8 then buy a tdi when your looking at that much to put in a underpowered lump of iron in the front.

As far as i know they are the same motor just different displacement.

I would not be suprised at all if thats the case, would make sense wouldn't it. But I'm quite sure the turbo is located at the rear which would still mean a custom set up wouldn't it???

there isnt much difference between the two it mainly comes down to the heads and piston change for turbo, but they are a big lump of shit for 100 hp (6.2). previous owner had the reciepts for $14,500 from brunswick diesel, ,

Turbo is also side mount and it does fit easily

Pics in a rangie please, there is fuck all room to put a turbo on, comfortably anyway, if you show me a good placing for it i'll turbo mine

6.5turbo would be nice in the D2.

EFI 6.2 turbo would be nice, but the others are a bit agricultural and for the price tag they are a bit rich,

Have any of you lot seen what is available for the 6.2/6.5 V8 T/D Stateside? Exhaust brake kits,nitrous, the whole deal!

I also saw some photo's not so long ago in one of the 4X4 Trader magazines with the late model 6.5 Turbo engine, and the turbo's were rear mounted. I got told that side mounted turbo's wouldn't fit into Range Rovers. Does fitting a side mount turbo engine involve a body lift?

[6.5 rangie]

My motor came with a turbo and manifold, when i installed it i bolted the turbo and manifold on and it fitted (side mount) but was advised not to run it due to heat and the possibility of cracking the heads, but i think in the future i will put it on.
I'd bolt it on to show you but its a lot of work i could be doing somewhere else, if i have to pull the manifold i'll put it on.

i have a 6.2 in a hj45 tray with 35s and there is as much power as I would ever need.they are a good motor in the bush.having owned rangies for 20 yrs i believe they would be an ideal swap regarding diff ratios etc.if your after a touring 4x4 the motors are loud but i have no sound deadening in the truck.another advantage is that they are mechanical with only 4 wires connected to the motor.you can obtain fitting kits with ease in aust.and they are relatively cheap to rebuild except for injectors because you now have 8 at $120.disadvantages are the weight and i found very hard to get insurance,even bomb insurance

i'll have 2 4bt - a 120hp cummins bolted to turbo350s in the country in august bout 5500 asking price low hour motors big torque figures
