Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / 4x4 Cars / March 2005Double your fuel mileage with a new diesel engine
Hello to all For those wanting to get rid of the gas engines in vehicles up to 6 ton GVW this may be the cure. 2.8 Lt turbo charged intercooled 135 HP, 277 ft pounds of torque at 1400 RPM. We have people putting these in Land Rovers, Jeeps, Ford and GMC. will also replace the gas eaters in Dodge units. An example of fuel savings and power a chap with a 2002 Land Rover Discovery has more power than with the orginal V-8 and has gone from 9 MPG to 18 MPG (US) gallon and the engine is still not broke in. These engines are built by International engines of South America, I fly them into Canada and the USA. Highly adaptable to North American vehicles and used in South American Ford trucks and busses. Pricing for delivery to your nearest International airport is between 6000.00 and 6500.00 USD. Contact me via Email for more information remove the (REMOVE) cahillsjREMOVE@ns.sympatico.ca Join the engine user group at hs2800TDI-subscribe@yahoogroups.com Sounds hell of a pricy. I put a used 2.8 nissan diesel LD 28 into my series III landy and that cost me ZAR6500. Probably about USD1000.00. A bit more for the adaptor plates etc. Engine ran fine for a good while and when I rebuilt it, (Just took it out and gave complete engine to engineering shop who returned it completely rebuilt) it cost about ZAR12000.00 or about USD 1900. I was very happy with the conversion and returned about 10l/100km. Not sure what that is in MPG terms but it is pretty good. Engine was brilliant at chugging along a low revs and still revved high enough not to need to change diff ratios. Again USD6.5K sounds pricey. Regards Stephen Aside from being well overpriced, this is not a good time to toute diesel engines! <g> Diesel fuel is more than premium gasoline in the US now, where for many years it was less than regular. for $6K+ you can do better. >Hello to all > [quoted text clipped - 23 lines] >Join the engine user group at >hs2800TDI-subscribe@yahoogroups.com I wonder if they are even emissions legal?

Depends on the year of the vehicle they are put in. I think, but not sure, the magic year is about 1997 or so. >I wonder if they are even emissions legal? Bet they are not. The EPA may allow them to be imported only as stationary power, IE generators/compressors. Not as motive power. I know that they made one person who was importing Indian made Lister engine clones stop brining them in because of that law. They did change it but basically said that any engine imported must be used as a stationary power source. Put it in ANY vehicle and it is illegal. Doesn't matter what year because the engine itself is not certified for use in vehicles. SignatureSteve Williams > Possibly. Depends on the year of the vehicle they are put in.
