MickMac Posted April 21, 2007 Author Share Posted April 21, 2007 Sorry about resurrecting this thread and rehashing an old subject. I've just been offered a Mazda 3.5 TDI engine with all the conversion parts. Anybody know the pro's and cons of this engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anybody know the pro's and cons of this engine. i belive they have fairly massive ammounts of torque, although the one i saw installed needed two radiators and additional leccy fans to keep it from overheating. have a search on google for its weight and power...and origins. if its cheap enough though...

Just back from having a look at it. It's in an old rangie and was installed as a new engine. been sitting for a year but starts and runs ok (and sounds pretty good for a diesel). Coupled up to an ZF but the box is knacked. Part of the reason I thinking of making the change is to run cooler so if they like a heat it isnt good news. Not too cheap at £1000 for the whole car. Just got hold of an Isuzu 2.8 engine for £100 but heard that the the Mazda 3.5 was a bit closer to the 4.6 for power. Diesel dilemma's...
