Will a 2.5 n / a transit take an exhaust manifold and turbo to make it a turbo or is compression ratio to different?

...hi i think you can do it as i had a 2.5 n/a with a turbo/intercooler conversion. I doubt the compression was altered...the receipt was from Lancaster Diesels it cost 2k in 2005, maybe worth a call.

its different management too with fly by wire throttle....called 'epic' IIRC

Trist

management is not needed and the electronic fuel pump will be canged for mechanical

basically we have a fishing boat at work thats come in with a marine converted transit engine. it runs different exhaust manifold that is water cooled with a much larger turbo plus water cooled air cooler all cooled by sea water via a pump mounted on the idler pulley
the engine is in need of work so the cheapest option is another 2.5 transit engine and put all the marine conversion bits on.
only thing is the turbo one I bought for him is in worse condition and the only other they have is a non turbo. do i put the head from the turbo on the non and use that or is it more different than that. or do I need to bother and put the stuff including turbo on the non??

ZVH,RST

just use the complete 2.5 di engine and bolt the turbo and manifolds on it,it will be ok,loads of people have done it,just bolt the turbo on standard 2.5dis and they run fine.the bosch 145,or 146 pump is the best

Trist

cool, so cmpressions are the same? if it were mine I would chuck it all on and have a go but ths is a paying customer so i want to make sure its ok and will run ok.

Turbo and non turbo where basically the same engine. It'll be fine.

Trist

Compression ratio for turbo is 18.3:1
Non turbo is 19:1

make sure you use the 100ps turbo injectors,and turn the pump fueling up,but you can get bigger 130ps marine injectors,
