especialy if it was running a stock LR intercooler and exhaust....

The 4.2's in patrols and tojo's don't put out 100kw at the wheels without alot of money spent on them.The patrol I have at work only has 86hp which is around 60kw so it has along way to go. Pat

The 2.8 doesn't put out 100kw at the wheels either.
The 100kw is at the crank.

I have a viaduct I use as a dyno, based on slope, speed and weight I figure I've got 75kw at the ground at 2000rpm with my Isuzu. That's at 1000m altitude.

As far as I know it came with all the hoses, clamps, brackets whatever and no welding was required I believe to mount the motor. If he hadn’t changed to the auto box from what I understand it was a TDI 300 out and the “Brazilian” in.

This was a complete motor from the front to the back so he didn’t swap stuff across, pump turbo etc.

I know that it runs a bigger intercooler & radiator he makes his own and has a 3” exhaust.

Actually I think his motor is 3.5 or 4Lt been a while since I've discussed it with him. When I had my 200TDI I was thinking of doing it but changed up to a TD5 ten years younger.

Scott you are a bit confusing......

first of all, if it was a 300tdi it wont drop straight in. Period. my motor was bought brand new on a crate complete......the things changed were changed to make it a easier better install.

he would have atleast had to change the mounts and exhaust, if he is running a differnt intercooler and rad then that isnt bolt in either is it.....

so what is this about a 3.5 or 4lt .......im lost on that one

the reason i post this is becasue i want people that are interested to go the 2.8 to know the FACTS not just she'll be right mate attitude.

pat, there is no way a stock 2.8tgv or slighty modded one is putting out 100kw at the wheels on a rover

are you looking into a 2.8tgv?

AFAIK Ashcroft are getting the short bell housing made. It is a new product only recently announced.

thanks John, like i said in response to bens post, i didnt think it was the bellhousing that was the problem......when mate fitted a r380 to his 200tdi, which has a short bellhousing as standard, the bellhousing wasnt the problem....it was the shaft or coupling between the 2. not sure of the termanology
