Title: Is there a way?
Post by: PhilP on 28 May 2010, 07:53:49

Is there a way that you could run a 2.5 diesel outside the vehicle?

I understand that the ECU would need the immobiliser seeing to and I've heard that the pump needs to be matched to the ECU and or the loom.

I'm thinking of a marine project for this engine, anyone had any experience of this kind of project or have any suggestions how I could make it happen?

I'm happy to enter into a consultancy arrangement in order to make this project happen.

Thanks

Phil

Earlier ECU's (214 and 215, both from U25DT engine) don't really have a 'proper' immobiliser.

Later ECUs (427 and 428, both from X25DT engine) would need the immobiliser ECU to be present, with the transponder taped to it ;)

If I can be of any help.......

Have lots of experience Marinizing engines, but never done a 2.5TD omega engine, popular opinion says they are not a good conversion. why use this engine? is it "spare".....
BEST conversions are ISUZU or PERKINS TDi engines,  for revs and economy/hours.
PM me if I can help you in any way.

Mike.

Engine one had a FOB and engine two is on the key, does that make any difference?
