Forums Forums Enthusiast Forums A - Z Autowirral GazzA : Rover 25ie 2.0TDI

new car as of yesterday, get the car on monday but no tax so gonna wait till friday till i tax it so i get more tax out of the £90 i pay for!..

Pictures etc etc to follow on monday after a huge clean and anything else needed to mint it up

Does anyone know of any sites where to buy stuff for the 25 2.0TD?... cant find anything for it!

what are u after?? wheels can be bought from any wheel site,bodyparts,not much out there for the 25 but u cud go MG ZR bits or myhneer,or custom. Engine bits. Try superchips,see if they make a chip for ur derv,aint much out there for a rover derv tho.Suspension kits will be out there

Try ESPdesign.co.uk and tweeks website

heres some suspension gubbins for u

what sort of stuff are you after mate? im a member on a couple MGZR websites so i could keep my eyes open if you tell me what you are after

know someone who has modded his 2.0TD rather nicely and looking at the same kinda things, maybe more to improve engine power etc... Just need detail of wot is it i need beforehand tho.
Thanks

butane injection??? i hear that works on diesels like NOS for petrols

Howcome its not fast enough as is?i know the gears aint exactly tall but it must be quick "in gear" no?

Why Butane? Nitrous Oxide works better on diesels than it does on petrols.

butane cheaper?


just what ive heard,i have no knowledge on derv tuning other than "chips work ace on TD"

Scoop, they where less than 100bhp, the 110bhp's didnt come out till 2002.

If you want something nippy, sell it and buy something else, modern Rover Diesels are built for economy not performance

its 101bhp the model i've got, i've got a mate looking into it at the moment, he says there is a problem somewere that is making it drag in 1st and 2nd but just cant find out wot it is. when thats sorted tho i'll be getting some gear sorted for it

Zorst (de-cat)
Large front mounted intercooler
induction kit
and a few little others

The FMIC will make little difference other than causing extra lag as the turbo will be running low psi and diesel engines dont rev as high as petrol cars and the charge temps dont get so high.

You could up the boost by a few psi (bleed valve), and an induction kit is a good TD mod as the tiny turbos can be quite hampered by a restrictive air box.

yer, this lad that was at MNR on sunday took me out in his and his was rapid compared to mine so i know wot it is i need to do.
by the time that im in 1st gear at 3k rev's, He's already in 3rd lol

Standard time for this car is 9.9 0-60 and he's got his down to 6.2 so i know there can be something done to improve the performance

6.2

To get that time hes either found 100bhp and doubled the cars power, or he is telling porkies

Induction kit and up the boost, may see 15bhp increase, but an FMIC on a diesel is a high power mod as the charge temps never get that high.

i was shocked when he said it but when he took me for a drive it was rapid.

still spinning in 2nd and 3rd lol.
when i found out wot he's done to his i'll be looking into it to see if i can achived a simalar result with mine.
