P38 4LV8 to HS2.8 Diesel Conversion

[andrewb]

Hi

The time is coming that my 4L V8 that has done nearly 300000Kms will need some work, i am looking to change it over to the HS2.5 Diesel engine, but i have a few questions from more experienced than myself.

- How does the Auto box go with the new motor, and the lack of inputs from the engine ECU?

- What is the drivability like on these motors?

- How much power and torque can we extract from modifying this motor?

- Any thing else that i should be considering before i do this change over?

Cheers

Andrew

You may want to contact Jase as he was doing the same conversion, if you do it yours will be number 2 so you will be treading virgin ground. Lots of electronics to overcome - wont be an easy , quick or cheap conversion and would be cheaper just to buy a TD5 disco.

After driving my new P38 around all day, to carrum downs, then down the south gippy, you can stick the D2, the p38 is much nicer:angel:

yuppie:p

Hmm - I need to spend some money on the car anyway, so i might as well get it to a point where i can economically go bush around Australia too.

Have tried to get into contact with Jase but he does not seem to answer.

I read a post that he was not going to import these engines anymore, can anyone confirm that, and let me know who does now?

All your help is appreciated!

I did see Mat driving around in the P38 with some driving gloves and an old mans hat on.Next he will be giving up beer. A Jag and a P38 getting a bit posh or wanting to be the Queen of Yinnar South

Might move down you neck of the woods, I'd fit right in then:D

[p38arover]

I believe Jase gave up on the project and has sold the P38A.

I guess we could hunt some pheasant on the grounds of your manor,but i think the weather may be good enough to take the hounds out after a fox or two.

[BigJon]

Wear the fox hat... :p

[karlz]

I have the 2.5 Bmw 6 cyl diesel engine in mine.
I actually imported the car. Its a bit gutless, but I had it chipped and now its ok. You could probably get engine etc.. from UK cheapish.
