I seem to recall that stroking the TD5 has been done before. A twin turbo installation should be possible too.

The bottom line is : How much do you want to spend?

To do either of those things would be very expensive indeed. Especially when compared to the results gained from inexpensive chipping.

Sounds like a cool project. It would be good to see the build up details and pics.

What twins are you going to use?

yer sorry about the English, i was on msn at the same time,
well the stroking would be a bit off for the engine i have at the moment is still very good, an has lots left in it,

all the work i can do my self so it would just geting the parts, an the fabricating im set with as well, i would make an new extractor for the turbo(s), i have no idear of what turbos to get, if somone can help me that would me mad, im guessing they will be tiny

im hoping this realy will be a one-of-a-kind t-td5

Hi there

Without sounding rude but.......WHY (as I thought the TD5 was quite powerfull)

My next question - and what do you hope to achieve?

Last time I looked the speed limit is (well in SA) is still 110 and most defenders will do this all day everyday.

One thing for sure when you look at Land Rover History, they were in the early days were well underpowered (correction powerfull enough offroad but lacking on the road).

With history on my side majority of the modifications done usually has a chain reaction with the rest of the drive train causing malfunction and breakages (could this potentially happen to the defender drive line)

Well its my views

Yeah - What Wayne said ^^^

Once you start mucking with the basic engine configuration you say goodbye to a pile of cash for (usually) temperamental results. Think: extra heat from 2 turbos, so bigger radiator, bigger intercooler (2 of them maybe?), the list goes on.....

If you want a fast car, buy one that goes fast to start with.

An easier solution might be to fit a single 'variable vane turbo' which should give good results with reduced lag and good torque right across the rev range, without pushing the limits of the engine too much. VNT Info
