Being in darkest Africa, it can take years for decent stuff to make it over
here ;-) Is there a suppliers that makes in a metal with rubber collar boost
pipes that can replace the std Td5 rubber boost hoses

I gather that the Td5 runs a Garret G22 turbo but the G23 would be an
upgrade ..... what is this upgrade good for ....higher boost? More turbo
lag? Supplier?

Jeremy Fearn does a boost controller for the Td5. I know he must be a busy
man as I have failed to track him down to answer any e-mails. Anybody did
this upgrade and any gain? (Wise words as how to get Jeremy's input?)

Currently I am running a larger intercooler with a Unichip ....EGT hovers on
720 C at max power sustained at 32 C ambient.

Did anybody replace center xhaust box with straight through pipe? Any
advantage?

Thanx for your response in advance.

From Africa

Aubrey




 
Aubrey Hi,

straight through replacement stainless steel pipe for D90 TD5 vehicles costs
44.95 pounds and for D110s is at 55.95 pounds.
Price does NOT include VAT (it won't be charged if it is sent directly to
you outside the European Union) and shipping.

Please let me know if you are interested and I can order it from Scorpion
Racing when I place my next order with them for their Greek clients.

Take care
Pantelis

Hi

Along similar lines...

I've been thinking about tuning my Defender TD5, and I wondered whether
anyone has done a comparison between solutions from:

JE Engineering
Jeremy J Fearn
Twisted Performance
Scorpion Racing

It is a '04 TD5, so I would prefer a remapping of the ECU, rather than a
plug-in box. I would also want an upgraded intercooler (it's got aircon),
and maybe a better exhaust (or at least the middle box removed), plus better
air filter. Then I see Jeremy J Fearn does the turbo boost box, too.

Next step would be a higher tranfer box ratio, I guess... + brakes?

Thanx Pantelis

Going to UK shortly so can carry on luggage it ;-) Question is ...does it
work?

Any comments on the others possible mods?

Cheers from Africa

Get hold of a copy of the September edition of Land Rover Monthly magazine
where you will find a 14 page special feature on performance upgrades.

Hi Aubrey,

I have the Jeremy Fearn upgrade in my 2000 110 Td5, including their
intercooler. The turn around time was very fast. I think it was like 7
days.

After I installed it in my 110, I was shocked to discover how much more
power and torque this Td5 engine could generate. I am very happy so far the
only thing I noticed was the milage went down a bit, from 26mpg to 24mpg. I
was blown away, especially at the 2nd gear, that I could almost get an
whiplash... ahaha

Take care!

Cheers,
Kent

Read it but I don't trust these journo types 100%. Seldom that I have ever
seen a bad report on a product from one of their advertisers. I prefer to
ask those that use it day to day and not just for s short high speed burst.

Did you also fir the boost controller from Jeremy?


 
Aubrey,

not quite sure what you were asking. But anyway, I bought the total package
(chip upgrade + larger intercooler)

I had to remove (unbolt) my ECU and then send it off to them (remember, I am
in the USA). After about a week, I received my updated ECU with their newer
intercooler.
