so it isn't possible to reprogram mine for an automatic disco? Thx

Hi guys, I had some problems with my TD5 disco ECU and some oil ( they really don't like one and other xD) Now got my hands on a NNN500020 ECU (td5) What do I need to do to make the disco take that ECU? it's an automatic TD5 disco kind regards and all info is welcome HJ

Thx, I hate having no car to drive... thx for the reply, still have to know how to work with this forum

Hi, since my manifold is warped, I'm looking for the best option. Since I was in contact with PORNY, I'm taking the tubular manifold+turbo and remap... NOW CAN anyone help me how to get in contact with him? Tried a few mails, no answer tried his phone numbers from his website, no answer... All help is welcome!! kind regards henry

ECU is remapped, and should normally give enough diesel to the engine trough complete rev-range ;-)

thx, I will :-) would IRB be at peterborough with a stand?

ECU has been remapped, biggest intercooler mounted as possibly could find, Griffin performance 3" exhaust, EGR removed etc.... looking for more torque as I'm going for an autobox but more since I'm going from 1,4 transferbox to 1,222 Torque is what I want.... but what is the best option, is there a difference between twisted performance - BAS - TD5alive - IRB etc? all do turbo upgrades...

i don't think you can take this part out of the exhaust... this part is uset not to make the exhaust break when vibrating (as the engine runs) don't know if it's this part for sure, never heard of one of these to fail.... but, might be wron, I'm sure there is someone here who can be of more assistance ;-)

Hi, been thinking of changing the turbo on the TD5 to a VV-one or hybrid... is there a difference? wich one is the best wich one is the biggest and prefereably bolt on... I know that IRB/TD5alive and BAS do them, but is there a difference? kind regards henry

mad enough will probably first eprom the thing, (normally got an ECU WITH the engine) and MS is on the list, but will come over when I got the cash first of all, now I'm looking to re-use the TVR headers and downpipe to get a better gasflow than the original so called spaghetti headers.... thx nige!! always a big help.... next time I'll PM you instead of asking here thx HJ

as donorparts, got a complete 4.6 out of a P38 incl ALL WIRING and a complete 14sux hotwire 3,9 engine INCL complete wiring from all of the above, could I make this twin plenum work with hotwire? (and later MS)

this is it... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ROVER-SD1-TWIN-PLENUM-INJECTION-INTAKE-MANIFOLD-TVR-/180556117251?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item2a09fbb503#ht_871wt_1139 I wanted it to convert it to hotwire... is this possible? no home jobby i think.... was my best idea to give the 5.0 some more air...

Hi, I'm about to buy a twin plenum from an old rover SD1 now it has the "old" flapper type injection and stepper motor etc... can I make this plenum work with a newer steppermotor from a hotwire 14SUX? will it fit? kind regards and sorry for the silly questions :-)

sh*t..... will wait to put it in "3" untill the autobox will have had a rebuild under NORMAL conditions (no drag racing at red lights etc....) will it hold untill I've got the money to rebuild it by ashcroft?

+300 bhp +450LB/ft +5ooo rpm something like this....

so the stock HP22 won't be able to cope with the power? rebuild the 22 by ashcroft (hd and stuff? ) will be able to hold? don't want to go to the old 3-speed

hi, FINALLY found an engine for the range rover... the old 3,9 will be replaced with a V8developments 5.0 STGIII V8 now, will the '94 zf auto box hold the power? has been refurbished and has a bigger torque convertor. axles are ashcroft so should be fine... All info is welcome ;-) hj

sorry, didn't know this was a .....euurhm.... don't know the word in english.... but I didn't want you 2 to fight over a question guys it's a rover thing.... whatever works for one, won't work for another one.... but I think I've found an engine....

thx, will look for 1,22222 any ideas if the ashcroft kit of gears is an easy fit? thx!!

now at 74mph I'm doing 3OOO rpm, and I think that's too much.... so with 1,2 I'd be doing 26oorpm and with a 1.0 I'd be doing roughly 22-24oorpm? sounds much better to me or am I making huge calculation mistakes?

a focus, that's like euuuhrm... never going to happen no, really, was a serious question.... would the defender be able of comfortably drive with the 1.003 gearing?

hi, I've got a TD5 with alli intercooler, remap, VNT turbo etc.... now, on motorways it revs too high at high speeds... I know it can be reduced by replacing the gears from the transfer case by 1,222 from the disco... BUT would I be able of putting in 1.003 gears in it and still be able of driving it comfortably at low speeds too? http://www.ashcroft-transmissions.co.uk/index.php?act=viewProd&productId=175 tyres are 255-85-16 BFG KM2's... WHY am i looking for this? I'm going too slow in everyday traffic here in belgium, and don't like to be stuck behind/between big trucks... all ideas are welcome

Am looking for a powerfull engine to fit into my rangie (preferreably a rover V8 4,6 or bigger ) if anyone has anything lying around and would like to sell @ good price, please mail me henry_john_serck@msn.com kind regards Henry

what would i need, i mean, CAN i join a viper V10 (old version or new version) with a rover auto box? would the engine fit the engine bay? thx
