    2.8TGV International HS

    im looking at putting the 2.8HS motor into my Disco. Just wanted to see if anyone knows how well they go with the standard 300tdi Auto Box and Driveline+Brakes? or will i need to upgrade them in the process

    thanks

    There is at least one member here that has one in a Disco, for the cost you can get the same performance with a VNT and IC upgrade and save the balance for a vented front disc swap.
    Otherwise its a bolt in swap and no upgrades required.

    I think you have been caught up in the interweb hype. There is no way they will trouble any of the stock driveline.

    I would seriously consider a td5 over one.....
