    Territory engine conversion

    Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone else has considered this engine swap.

    A 2.7 V6 Tdi engine from any later model (unfortunately Ford) Territory into a GU patrol.

    I know that its a smaller size than the 2.8 that you can get but I was seriously impressed with the sound, the pull and the economy of this motor ...

    Here are some stats from the ford website:

    Territory MkII TX RWD
    Engine type 2.7L V6 Common Rail Turbo Diesel
    Engine size (cc) 2720
    Compression ratio 17.3 : 1
    Max. power (DIN) 140kW @ 4000rpm
    Max. torque (DIN) 440Nm @ 1900rpm
    No. of valves 24
    Bore and stroke (mm) 81.00mm x 88.00mm
    Injection High pressure common rail
    Engine management Electronic powertrain control module

    While these figures arent mind blowing, I.m sure that a chip and exhaust would make it go even better...

    And they are comparable (better) than the ZD30.

    I was impressed with the sound that the bog standard one at work makes, let alone something worked up a bit...

    Has anyone done this or considered it?
    '05 ST-S with a nice tint and LOTS more to come...

    Big difference in weight though mate..... with the GU being over 400kg heavier than a Territory.

    I have an uncle with a diesel Territory. He pulls a 25 foot caravan all over Australia, albeit blacktop only, but sounds great to me. I've never heard of any issues with this motor and instinct tells me it would be a better alternative to a ZD30. I'm not a mechanic though so this is just gut opinion without technical input. If you could get one on the cheap, and you have mechanical ability, why not give it a crack?

    What is the charge? Eating a meal? A succulent Chinese meal??

    I watched an 11 second Territory once at Calder Park. Don't know how drivable that would be in the bush though!

    That would be a 4.0L turbo though for sure?

    Not sure to be honest. I'm not well versed with them. It was impressive to see none the less.

    It would have to be, there are a few patrols around now with the barra engine in them. They are a really good match for the patrol.
    As for the 2.7L diesel though I have got no idea.

    I've got no idea about Territory engines so I don't know if the uncle has 4.0L or 2.7L. Never put my head under his bonnet but sounds nice though! It's a reasonably late model but that's all I know Biskit.

    it's a modified version of the engine first used in the 2005 landrover discovery 3 (which I know was a slug due to the weight of the Discovery), also used in Jags, BMW X5 and a few others...... built and developed by Ford UK
