TD5 turbos

Are they interchangeable between Disco and Defender ?

Had to get mine changed (aswell as the crank) and its lacked power ever since, Seems strangled @ 3000rpm, I got the bits from Famous 4.

Any suggestions appreciated

Power loss might be the difference between a nackered old one and a new one? Clogged pipes etc.

I'd remove the turbo inlet pipes, intercooler and plenum and clean all the ****e out. The new turbo might be being strangled by the old ones problems ...

Might also be worth checking the fuelling and injectors/pump etc ... new stuff on old might need to be set up again to match what's there.

Cheers for the reply Paul

The original went due to oil pump throwing its chain and fecking up most things with it.

Can't be too much up (I hope) as I'm getting over 30 mpg average going to work.

I might do as you suggest and get it hooked up maybe a tweak.

Can you recommend anyone from Donny to Brid that has the kit and experience at competetive rates?

Many thanks

Dunno, sorry, I do all my own ..

You can clean it all out easily enough, but from what I've read the best way to tune a TD5 is to chip it. Having said that, I'd clean it all out, service it, especially fuel pipes and filters and basically just fettle it a bit. Have a search on the forum there are a few articles on it.

Sorry, should have added ...

If it's strangled at 3k then there's a problem that needs sorting first, hence why I suggested the service etc. I wouldn't recommend chipping anything other than on a properly working vehicle.
