My name is Lee and I live in North Wales at the foot of Mount Snowdon
I have had my 1989 3 door 200tdi Discovery for 4 years and I am a Landrover Addict .
I use the car for journeys to work and also offroad fun ,Modifacations include bull bars, roof lamps, 2" lift,Bigger tyres,snorkle(home made),cranked trailing arms, CB,steel brake lines, K&n filter, Fuel pump and turbo tweek. I have done othe things to it but the list would just go on and on as would the list of things still to do.
This site belongs to Steve he's in our club and I followed his instrutions the difference is amasing I will however be fitting a turbo gauge so I can get the waste gate set just right . A lot of the lads in the club have done this mod and so far so good
lol basically you helped you're a/f ratio to run more smoothly in part 1 of that page and manually increased the boost in part 2. I don't know anything about rover diesels (i'm in the US lol) but I do know about turbos and boosted applications.
Boost is boost, baby. We used to get 35-40 hp in 930 turbos, simply by replacing the factory 0.8 spring with a 1.0 in the wastegates. Another 10 hp by straightpiping the wastegate instead of letting it dump into the exhaust. Yo're Mustang experience will help you enormously if you ever do a turbodiesel.
BTW; I didn't think they actually had mountains in Wales???

i'd love to have a turbo-diesel in the disco if the v8 ever dies, but not the most economical choice...rebuild? or a completely different engine swap? lol

I hope they do because this is behind my house
As for the economical option whats your v8 getting to the gallon 10-12??
I get 28 mpg with the bigger tyres fitted and the tweeks help the gearing to feel better because if you don't tweek the 0 to 60 needs a calender not a stop watch also by adding 50% veg oil to the tank it runs smoother with more torque and better mpg around 31-33.
Yeah. In Rover turbodiesels, biodiesel is the way to go. Adding veg oil, is like adding octane booster to gas. Most of us running the average 32-33 tires and lockers run between 12-15mpg. Guys with different gearing run 14-16. Stock form 4.0 and 4.6 V8 get 14-16 highway, and 10-12 city.
Beautiful scenery behind your home. Never knew the hills got that high over there. Maybe worth a vacation someday. Just beautiful.
