Engine swaps

[96terrano]

Just wondering, what other engines would go in place of the td27 in my 1993 terrano??:nenau

 

[makeitfit]

3.0 litre option :nenau
Are you after more grunt?:naughty
If so mod your turbo and down pipe, turn up the pump put intercooler on and stuff some LPG up it :sly
That'll fix it

 

[96terrano]

How can I mod the turbo? I'm wanting a bit more grunt but on a budget :augie

 

[Jonny_5]

96terrano: VG30DETT should fit in :sly
I wanted to fit one in my D21 until the long haired general found out :bow

 

[Jonny_5]

Just in case your not aware that's the 3.0L twin turbo'd V6 from a 300ZX

 

[gazrick]

Rover 3.5 V8 would do just nice! :naughty

Run it only on LPG, loadza grunt and noise with low fuel cost! :thumbs

In fact I think there is a 5.7 Chevvy V8 in the shed - would sound awesome!

 

[Thomas-the-Terrano2]

have debated the rover 3.5 v8 before, thought was easier to mod existing
block as per makeitfit's post, plus barring chevy block be fun to keep it
nissan.?

nothing wrong with a bit of petrol in a diesel. Or paraffin or brake cleaner or
hydraulic oil or used engine oil or anything that'll burn.:thumbs

The important part of that statement "a BIT of petrol" was exceeded by her all knowingness :doh Normal service now resumed and yes we do run a bit of petrol in it now. Got plenty to mix back in :lol
