Thread: TD5 - safe increase in power and torque

140kw 480nm safley.
190kw 500nm with I/C and more boost.
dont think you can go much more than the first option due to the auto factor.

search for tombie2 chip upgrades.

Only thing I can add to what Phil has said, is get an 03 model on if you can and something to monitor your EGTs.

Baz.

Apart from the CDL, what else makes the 03 model better than the 01 or 02 models?

I will definitely be getting an EGT guage. Is there anything you can do about the warping manifold issue or do you just have to deal with it once it happens?

I guess after having owned a GQ 4.2 turbo diesel Patrol for so long and not having to do much other than change oil every 5,000km it seems that there is alot to watch out for with the Disco's. Mind you, I am looking forward to the increased comfort level and the auto - which the wife will love.

the newer models 03 on, have more of the bugs ironed out. most of the simple irritating issues seam to be on the eairly ones.

the warping manifold issue can be dealt with b4 it happens, upgrade the studs b4 they break. some people have issues with the manifolds and run stock cars, im fairly modified and touch wood still have no issues

another given these days is buy a nanocom, it will save you lots of dollars in the long run clearing the little faults that dealers charge for.

I was told by a rover mechanic that the D2a eg 03-04 models have more response down low, This I was told was due to different injectors and ECU to earlier models.

03-04 nicer finish as well, not just grey or brown.

Thanks for all the input guys. Greatly appreciated.

Are the new injectors compatible with the older TD5 ?

not that i know for sure but ide say the injectors are physically the same, it will be the coding in the ecu that will be different. if the ecu has bee remapped this wont be an issue.

there are to different pt#'s for the injectors, up to 2001 and after 2002.
