Hi Folks wonder if anyone can advise on my predicament.
The 2.25 diesel croaked in the series 3 i bougth for my wife as a surprise Xmas present ( no it REALLY was for her!).
I was offered a 19j by a friend, and given we know nothing of its history I decided to rebuild it put in, new pistons hot spots, bottom end shells etc.
Unfortunately its one of the earlier 19j's ie not modified with a strengthened block.
Fortunately it won't be used fro a lot of heavy towing or off road, but I want it to last. So, Do I add an intercooler (seems ot be mixed reports on the forum), take the turbo off, or are there any other mods that might help?
Any assistance would be much appreciated.![Eek! :eek: :eek:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
