JD12 Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 (edited) Hi all, I’ve got a series 2 td5 2.5 diesel with a few bits done to it already but I’m after more. It will do 100mph+ and is fantastic at sliding all fours wheels around off road. It’s got a 6”lift kit, massive wheels. sequential box (fitting it Monday), competition props, it’s stage two mapped, snorkel +K&N, uprated injectors, uprated fuel pump, decat, EGR delete etc. Really I’m looking for bigger turbo ideas and what kind of crazy HP I can push this thing too. Has anyone tried nitrous or water/meth injection? Any advice is much welcomed. Edited August 4, 2019 by JD12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BogMonster Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 I recall hearing of over 200bhp but how long the engine lasts in that sort of tune may be another matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pawl12 Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Have a word with TD5inside, I think they're doing Variable Vane Turbos & even have options for multiple stages of tune from the same ECU with more than 200 bhp available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Landy-Novice Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 there easy nowadays to get good bhp from. stock turbos are pushing 195bhp. all down to money. but as above, i want jose from td5inside when hes next in uk to map mine with popcorn. ther are multiply turbos etc for vavious power outputs. im struggling to remeber the company name. buy they have a td5 pushing 295bhp running a custom darkside developments tubular manifold kit with meth and bupane.

FridgeFreezer Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Curious as to how much it costs to get 250+hp out of a Td5 compared to just doing an engine swap 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
