Well, most of us are not real familiar with the Td5 motor over here. I know I am not. However, it is a computer controlled turbo engine, so there is no reason why the boost cant be turned up. You may need a bigger intercooler. A company called PSI makes a "digital powerbox" that changes some of the computer settings to net 21 hp and 65 lb ft of torque. I think your stock engine has 137, so we are still shy of 180. A stainless performance exhaust for the Td5 is also available, might get you 7hp. A good exhaust can make a bigger difference in a turbodiesel than a gas engine. I found this info in a Rimmer bros. ad in LRM, there website is www.rimmerbros.co.uk . I dont know if you can get any LR magazines in Cairo, but if you can find some then purchase a few. They are full of good ads as well as info. If you cant get any and really want some I could mail you some. Good luck. | ||

Look up J E Fearn and J Engeering, both do intercooler and chip packages that take you to 190 BHP and 380 KgN torque just under £1000 For a fit yourself solution, look up discoparts who do the Dastek Unichip for the TD5 that you can fit yourself Good luck | ||

there was a good article in one of the recent LRO's on increasing power on TD5's. Check it out, some of them were very rapid. Cheers Jack | ||

if you plan to increase the HP in a TD5 the first thing you need to do is put a gear drive into it. guys that have jacked the boost have also put valves through the top of the pistons when the belt lets go. MM | ||
