Will be easer if you tell us something about engine type that you have...

Or if you don't know that, what year it is

The K series is well catered for in the tuning world. It will make over 100bhp per litre

and then it will blow the Head Gasket.

Look at the mg zr and zt they have the same engine, lots of stuff you can do with it! Just be careful with the hg!

well I have bought the uprated head gasket for the engine cause I found its a common thing for land rovers to blow a head gasket its already at 120bhp but still sluggish but I am having a full stainless exhaust system getting put in so its gonna be a big project over the upcoming months so I will provide piccys

No reason to believe that. If you modified the head for more power, the head has to come off anyway. When it goes back on, it gets a new gasket

I wouldn't mind putting the zr 1.8 160 in 1 or the turbo lump but then its the drivetrain that suffers

The ZT 160 turbo engine produces less torque than the L series turbo diesel. Torque wrecks the drive train

I can get a 1.8 turbo rover engine from a breakers yard for £300 but its the gearbox and putting rear discs which could escalate

But if you are gonna turbo it do it properly and get the 620 turbo lump would be nice if rover v8 would fit POWER!!!!

You need a complete good turbo ZT160 engine, ECU, engine harness and the the front section of exhaust pipe. The engine will bolt straight onto your current gearbox. You can make the rest of the exhaust system, you can use your flywheel too if the ZT version is different. The rest is messing around with the wiring and getting the ECU programmed to your Freelanders alarm system.
A turbo K series engine into the Freelander isn't that difficult
Rear discs are completely unnecessary!!

Not as easy as the gearbox/ IRD needs to be adapted to fit the T series engine. Engine mounts need to be made too.
Then the ECU needs to be sorted to work with the Freelander alarm.
Or an Emerald after market ECU can be used, but that adds over a grand to the price!!

its going to be good
