I looked the kit over and it looks like you will still need a fuel pump, and some other sensors. I didn't see whether it was a MAP system or based on airflow but those additional sensors will add some more cost to the kit. Not sure what sort of fuel pressure it requires but its likely it will need a high pressure fuel pump...so some more cost there. Things to keep in mind.

According to Holley, it comes with everything you need for installation except for a manifold and return fuel line.

And after all this it's going to get 5hp more and 2 mpg better or what? The 2.25 is what it is....you can't polish a terd.

Forgot $$$(?) for the adaptor to make it fit to the manifold.

$1800? HA. You can build your own for a fraction of that...because I did.

For mods, I've got a rover head shaved to Kingdom Come, .030 over pistons, ACR camshaft and a Rochester carb.

Once the shop is done removing the JAKE brake valve adjustment, I'll let you know.

Have you ever driven a truck with a 200Tdi? Hardly what I would call gutless.

I have. Not too impressed with the motor given it's cost to performance ratio. I want to drive one of Timm Cooper's creations. That's the way to go for motor replacement IMO. Quick jacking around with crap from LR and fix the problems...

I would like to thank some of you guys. It's been long hours for several months. I needed a good chuckle.

I'm actually amazed that some of you would consider spending the money on a foolish mod like this when most of you are too cheap to just keep the truck tuned up and in good running order in the first place.


Oh, EWS, you're right on the money. If you're going to do it, might as well go big.

....you can't polish a terd.

According to Mythbusters, you can!

Ok I guess the terd polishing experts have it all over me on that one...it's still just a terd.....

I have my own engine selected for the next rover. but I didn't want to muddle the already turbulent thread.

Hopefully your mantra is WWTCD? What would Timm Cooper Do?

It's probably a Saab 4 banger.

That there is the truth. It's easier to whine and complain than to just fix the problems.

The 200tdi is just over paying for ease of installation.
