"200Di" diesel conversion for Series Land Rovers - by Glencoyne Engineering

How easy are the 2.25Ds to rebuild? Are most of the parts easy to get (eg from MR)? I would love a diesel too, even if it means going slower than the 2.25P
Has anyone ever turboed a 2.25D?

I have heard about that conversion, I believe it can be done with a 200Tdi aswell with some modification to the inner guards of the engine bay

I believe most if not all parts are readily available, although some can be expensive. I looked at doing this and decided that the cost of the rebuild would pay for an awful lot of petrol. Of course, having a perfectly good petrol engine, I am in a different position from someone who has a petrol engine needing overhaul.Originally Posted by Newbs-IIA

Landrover turbocharged the engine in the mid eighties, but this was after it had a five bearing crankshaft (almost unheard of in Australia) and had been increased in capacity to 2.5. While later production engines were apparently fairly reliable, the problems encountered (anything from broken crankshafts, to cracked blocks to engines running away to destruction) when they first appeared do not lend a lot of confidence to one off conversions.

There were a few kits available to turbo the 2.25D, however as JD says, there are likely to be issues unless the engine is in good nick and the turbo only uses very low boost (at 23:1 CR, you only can use low boost pressures).How easy are the 2.25Ds to rebuild?

Richard Turner (Turner eng UK) built a 2.25D with a 2.5D head and injector pump, and an aftermarket turbo grafted on - this was all just for fun/personal use.
The 2.5TD suffered a design/manufacturing problem with the cam bearings, so they often slipped and blocked the cam oil feed.
A direct injection diesel like the 200Tdi or 300Tdi is probably the best proposition. They are not without issues, but they are 5 bearing, direct injection (more economical, easier to start, and can run higher boost), and plentiful.
I personally can't see the attraction in making a Tdi NA though. Sure it is a simpler install and will be easier on the gearbox (if you leave the standard box in), but if you have the complete turbo setup you may as well use it - you can always just turn down the boost if you are worried about breaking things.
