Range Rover P38 diesel conversion

[NSGINC]

Hello, any news on the kits. I have 2000 4.0 I think is ready for this.

Guys,

It appears any 6.2 or 6.5 can be converted to multi fuel with a mechanical IP (injection pump?)

This seems to open the door quite a bit. I would like 250 hp and 350 to 400 ft lbs of torque in a reliable multi fuel package. Maybe start with newer turbo diesel 6.5 and change the injection pump and be done with it.

Is there a website for more data?

I want a multi fuel engine in my 100 series land cruiser.

Thanks,

uzj100

Send a PM to Redrover. He has a 6.2 in his Range Rover Classic too and runs waste motor oil and all sorts of other stuff (it seems) through it.

any mechanical diesel can be converted to run on oil , but 6.2 6.5 7.3 all those motors that are mechanical injection and not controlled by any computer dont need any modification to run on waist oil .

I saw the offroad videos the other day. Cool stuff! I am getting my 4.0 Rover ready to be converted. Any news on the kit?

[REDROVER]

Looks like Mike disappeared. He has the kit . If u gonna do it. The most ideal and very powerful will be 6.5 mechanical turbo. But zf 22 or 24 won't stand the chance . Unless u get 5 speed. Manual or even better 4L80E
6.2 with turbo will give u about 420 lb torque . 6.5 mechanical turbo with just a touch will give u over 500lb torque so choose ur transmission carefully..

Eric your t56 transmission classic has me drooling! Your build is fantastic and I have learned a lot from your threads on the various forums! I have already sourced some potential 6.2's. I am not rally going for a power build, thats what my Excursion is for. The goal of the Rover project is to increase fuel economy and experiment with alternative fuels such as WVO. The 6.2 with its mechanical injection and simplicity is going to be a good test platform before I try doing anything to either of my 7.3l diesels. I love how cheap parts are for these motors. I guess I will have to shoot Mike an email about the kit.

When I get started their will be a build thread. Now I just need to find some free time to make it all come together!

I am new to the forum because of this tread. I am buying a 2003 DII, would this be a possiable engine swap option? My biggest issue would be getting the stock computers to work enough and not have to many issues. I was also looking into a 5.3 LS swap.

So what radiator are you running in the P38?

Also, what springs? I was told the Ford F350 springs would work. Will the F250 Springs work?

If I am not running a lift, can I trim the F250 springs to make the ride height appropriate?

Eric thank you for answering thse questions. I was pretty busy and for some reason I didn't get any notifications for a while
I know from Eric that F250 springs will work > I myself have Old mans emu HD and an inch of body lift.
got a modified radiator with larger tanks ...due to the body lift I can do that
