CJRH Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Not a lot of options, if it was me I would swop the engine for a 200tdi Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon W Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Hahhahahaha sorry it is new years eve isn't it and not april fools day??? Yes as above it is not worth spending money on, so put a 200tdi into it. The 2.5td was a turbo charged version of what you have and is unreliable and over stressed.

hobson Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Empty it of all non-essential things, and make sure you're going down really steep hills with a good wind behind you! Seriously though, having owned an ex-miiitary N/A 90, there's really not much you can do, the engine is designed to go like it does, which is slow and plodding but easy to fix and reliable, if you want more speed it's either a new engine or a new car! I did see the new Bloodhound SSC has a rocket fitted to take it over 1000mph though.... worth thinking about a mad project perhaps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retroanaconda Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 I don't think anyone wanting pure speed (after having been 'checked' for buying a beam-axled brick on wheels in the first place) would want to fit a 200Tdi! Sure it would make it drivable, but I wouldn't got as far as to say it would be fast. Fit a 4.6 V8, EFI, from a Range Rover and pack a spare pair of underpants Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elbekko Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Strap a rocket or two to the back, that may help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anderzander Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 Now now - he could go fast with the 2.5 NA ........ just drive it off a tall cliff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJB Serenity Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 Just enjoy yourself at the speeds you are going. My 200Tdi isn't the quickest but as I rarely go above 55mph it doesn't bother me. You use much less fuel and there's less noise that way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pwyll Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 The faster you go the more likely you are to attract the attention of the local constabulary / die a horrific gory death. And remind yourself of what they do to new drivers who get more than six points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RustyNissanPrairie Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 quite a few things to do. 1. Make sure the timing is absolutely spot on-use the timing pins in the flywheel/fuel injection pump. 2. Remove the resonator tube on the inlet side of the air filter housing. 3. Rotate the upper filter housing away from the manifolds and towards the inside area of the wing, fit either a series3 wing inlet in the side of the wing or TD5 Defender headlight surrounds but drill a hole behind the vented area of the surround-to enable cold air in towards the inlet. 4. Fit non-Pintaux injector nozzles from a Peugoet (cant remember the actual nozzle code-its written down somewhere), harder to start when cold but make a slight difference otherwise. 5. Biggest difference and one that has avoided me fitting a Tdi so far is to change the cylinder head. Ricardo engineering of Wolf/XD military Landrover fame developed a different cylinder head with enlarged and free-er flowing ports for the NA/TD-it has a different casting number to the earlier heads. Makes a huge difference to the low end torque, holds onto gears a lot longer 6. Turn the fuelling up-dead easy but be aware of cracking the pistons/head if you get carried away. 7. Give a good Italian tune up, mine gets clogged up doing the 7mile commute to work after awhile but always feels a lot better after a decent motorway journey A mid silencer replacement pipe is available to be dont bother-it reduces low down torque quite a bit. Other than that lot-its replace it with a Tdi time, but the NA is a bulletproof engine with cheap parts, mines pulled my heavy overland 110 with no probs over a good few miles.
