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?
