200 TDI from Rover Resource

The turbo is worth it, I enjoy driving our 200 tdi, but before the turbo spools it still is constantly bogged down.

Unless I am mistaken no one knows the HP and torque of the 200Di- I've never seen one that has been properly dynoed, everything I have seen has been seat of the pants guessing.

Given the $ involved with the DI I'd be inclined to go the extra mile and fit the full blown 200TDi. Even then I think we have better engines available to us here, they are more involved swaps but offer more in the long run.

My 2.5 NA consistently delivers mid to high 20s but I drive by my tach more than the speed. At 3100 rpms I'm going 55 mph. Distance driven to determine mpgs is measured using a GPS as is speed. I like the engine very much and personally don't feel that I need more power. The swap was done by Matt Browne. His install keeps the battery under the bonnet and he did have to slightly modify one of the motor mounts. I am also using my oil bath air cleaner and stock 2.25 petrol exhaust system. I probably will upgrade to an NRP Stainless system when the stock system craps out.

Jim - did the stock 2.25 petrol exhaust bolt right up to the 2.5l or require some modification?

Matt needed to cut the head pipe and add a piece but I'm not sure how long it was. I also remember that he was pleased that the origional head pipe was still there because he needed something off it but for the life of me I can't remember what the piece was. Short answer is no.

OK that seems to make sense. the 2.25 diesel goes out the wing horizontally but I think the 2.5 exhaust manifold and IIRC it exits down but I think slightly forward of where a 2.25p goes. I often wondered how close it was and if it would mate to the 2.25p exhaust.
