Dave-Fost Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Hi guys, Does anyone have/know of a Janspeed turbo kit for a 2.25 D which is for sale? Or an engine fitted with one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snagger Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Don't do it. The normally aspirated diesels have a compression ratio of 23:1, the Tubodiesel had 21:1 with reinforced pistons and bigger bearings, but still cracked pistons and heads with alarming regularity, gaining a woeful reputation. The 10J won't last long at all with a turbo on it. If you must upgrade and a 12J 2.5 nad isn't enough, then look at a Tdi. Don't even bother with the 19J turbodiesel; you'd soon regret it even if you found a good one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arjan Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 We drove our Series Hybrid for many years with a turbo bolted onto the 2.25 diesel (5 bearing) We abused the poor thing for 18 years with that engine & turbo and replaced it with a 2.5 N/A because we eventually drowned it one time too much.. It is not the best of mods and to do it properly takes quite a bit of work... Personally, I'd not do it again and either fit a 2.5 N/A - very nice conversion - or a 200 / 300 Tdi - a lot more work. Bon Courage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
