I dont thing it would take much to bring the Td5 up to par.   Peter Sharratt (Gummikuh) New Member Username: Gummikuh Post Number: 35 Registered: 02-2003 Posted on Wednesday, April 09, 2003 - 09:47 am:    Hi Just read that the 300TDi is being remade in Brazil, and has been increased to 2.785 litres and a whopping 135PS @ 3800rpm, giving 277lb ft of torque @ 1400rpm, bit pricey but makes a TD5 look silly, given its reliance on silly electronics. just my tuppence worth.

There is a local (rangie specialist) tuning mob who reckon they can get more power & torque from a 300TDi than the TD5 (50% more than stock), with just turbo & fuel work. I'm just a bit sceptical of reliability....   Mark & Bev Preston (Markp) Member Username: Markp Post Number: 192 Registered: 02-2002 Posted on Thursday, April 10, 2003 - 10:19 am:    Paul, I agree, the IH 2.8L. http://www.britrest.com/HS28L.htm   John Kruger (Johnnyk) Member Username: Johnnyk Post Number: 192 Registered: 02-2002 Posted on Thursday, April 10, 2003 - 11:08 am:    There are people putting in the 2.8. It can be had from England for around 5k.....

Looks to be a bit better than the stock 300 TDi. Mike
