Thread: Td5 worked motor

G'Day Mate. On behalf of the Forum. Thanks!
hmm, Fully worked. What exactly does that mean?

The TD5, like most computer controlled, turbo charged, engines have a number of areas that ccan be improved.
FULLY worked would be a monster.
Crank out of a ford Ranger with 3.2l displacement, VNT, Water to air IC, Remapped injection
220KW and 600Nm of torque and a $50K price tag.

Start with some Power/ Torque figures and you will get a better picture.

Thanks for the reply,
I just mean instead of buying the uprated turbo, intercooler, manifold etc. and fitting them separately.
Was wondering if there is already a td5 engine with all the bits and bobs already on it?

Also do you know the benefits of an uprated intercooler and manifold.

Cheers

I'm not aware of any Australian Companies offering a 'drop-in'package.
Justinc (a member here) could advise you further.
For further light reading:
Monster TD5 Project

I'm just curious because they race them over in the uk but can't really find anything about them.
Thanks for your help

IIRC at least Davis Performance Landys (NSW) and Les Richmond Automotive (Vic) can supply uprated Td5's.

Les Richmond have done one. 2.8L 180kw 590Nm! At the wheels

ok more info.

How did they take it out to 2.8ltr?

I know there was a guy from Europe (lara on here) that did his own. It involved new crank, new rods, new pistons etc. He designed it all himself and made a lot of the parts I believe. He also had axle shafts made by the same company that does them for F1 teams....

engine would have been stroked. power delivery would be good for a defender as the bigger capacity means torque at the low end. that torque number is huge.

is the motor u are looking for for racing or general driving? are you looking for something high strung or strong enough and reliable?
