Considering an engine swap- options?

200 tdi will drop onto your existing mounts but if its a disco engine its either hard to route the exhaust or you can get a 300 manifold and turbo to make it easyer
Exhaust is easy. Just buy the down pipe from Steve Parkers. Bolts right on and goes around the chassis rail.
 
I am surprised you found the throttle so, suspect that's where I would have started. I have a few auto D1's and they have all been pretty good - though one of them could be very on fuel...

I can understand a large intercooler not really working with EDC, as AFAIK, EDC can't take account of it - its too simple a system - ( which IME, is why you need an external box to play with it ), it was a half way house to try and get the auto's to go a bit better, which it did.

Not sure that the injection pump is standard either - boost pin anyone?

The dyno results are somewhere, but, as we are currently living in a ******* caravan in our garden four YEARS into a TEN WEEK repair to our home, you'll be holding your breath for a while if you want me to post them. You would have to drive mine to know the difference..


I wasnt doubting you (well maybe a little!) but if you have seen the print out thats excellent news.
I quite liked my d1 auto I did approx 50k in it and it was a good reliable car with all the usual early disco foibles.
The edc pump has a different top on it which is all electric so no boost pin that you can see, whats inside I havent a clue, http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Land-Rove...003666?hash=item2a6315dd12:g:EyoAAOSwv0tVArPG
 
Id go 3.5 V8 route, in keeping with age, very reliable and could lpg it at a later date!
Smooth, lovely burbling power, keeps up with everyday traffic too!
I've considered this route if my td5 ever fails on me! I LOVE them!! :)
