Subject: Re: Series 3 with oomph - how????

Get a tuned head fromTurner Engineering, and also get their unleaded one.
Then you can run unleaded, and recoup some of the money with cheaper fuel.

Mind you with 4star going at the end of the year, it may not be much.

A V8 is unleaded already.

Also Why put up with 15mpg, for only 60 BHP,  when you can have 15mpg and
150BHP with a V8.

Also a V8 can be LPG Gassed, with lower costs still..

Think long and hard,  its worth getting it right first time.

I went diesel...maybee should have gone V8 and LPG.

Certainly making me think about it for my 2.8V6 lightweight... Hmmm what
shall I do???

Hi

Yesterday while driving my 1988 Turbo Diesel 90 - at a certain point I
reached 110km/h and all of a suddent the engine went off ! I parked on the
side, tried to restart it but wouldnt - however it did restart after abou 20
seconds !

It did not overheat for sure as the gauge was marked ok ! Note this is the
third time tha happened to me and also note that recently I had a stuck
valve twice !

With all this talk of conversion costs. has anyone got real data for fuel
costs with an LPG V8? I looked into it a little at the end of last year with
conflicting reports on economy. If you have, say, a 200HP V8 which can do
18mpg on petrol what power and economy could you expect on LPG? I was told
that 50% extra mpg (ie 27) was possible but I was disinclined to believe at
the time ;-)

With the imminent phasing out of 4* (though I currently 
use 4 * in only one tank in 3 anyway) I have been thinking 
of changing the head sometime next year. I've also been 
thinking that if I'm going to change the head anyway why 
not kill two birds with one stone and get one with a bit 
more poke. 
Has anyone any direct experience of the range of Turner 
Performance heads? 
How much are they? 
How much extra oomph do you get? 
Are they worth the money? 
Is there anyone who does cheaper alternatives? 
Do you have to do anything to your carb to cope with the 
new head? 

Generally all information appreciated....

Thanks..

We have ran a V8 110 CSW 4speed 1983 for about a year on LPG.
MPG is about 13 which in ££ terms is currently equivalent to about 23-25 mpg.
Power difference between LPG and petrol is not noticeble but it runs a lot 
smoother on LPG. It also starts easier on LPG, some people say you should 
start on petrol then switch, because of a battery which doesn't like the cold 
(I 
know time for a change) I now start on LPG, no problems.
As it doen't really offroad, tanks (2) are under both sides of the vehicle, 
they 
are of the smallish variety so no major work was involved, however, I may at 
some time consider larger capacity especially if we intend to travel further. 
At 
the moment capacity is only 80 l, just over 200 miles, but this lasts 2-3 weeks 
because of usage, Availability is not too bad and is getting better.
best wishes.
Kevin

Not the greatest economy  but the wife uses it mostly as a people carrier on 
lots of small journey's and haven't really tried to "supertune" it, as long as 
it 
starts! and sounds like a V8 :-).

Subject: Re: Series 3 with oomph - how????

Hi
Taking 90 - 100 thou off a low compression head or about 70 thou off 
a high compression head will give you plenty of oomph.  You will have 
to file the top off the water pump to allow the skimmed head to sit 
flat on the block.  If you skim much more than suggested above you 
will run out of tappet adjustment and will need shorter push rods to 
prevent the rockers fouling the rocker cover.  I believe push-rods 
from a 2.5 can be used but I've never tried it myself.  Whilst the 
head's off you can port it a bit which makes a reasonable difference. 
 Just use a rotary stone to smooth the ports and remove any ridges or 
edges which could cause turbulance.  It costs about ukp 50 for the 
skim and a similar amount to have hard exhaust seats fitted at the 
same time.  Porting can be done yourself if you want it.  Its about 
half the price of a Turner head worked to similar spec.  The saving 
is that you do the time-consuming bit yourself.  My engine has also 
been completely balanced (crank, pistons, con-rods (including 
matching their centres of gravity), flywheel and clutch cover).  This 
cost ukp 80 +VAT at a local shop that builds racing engines and 
allows the engine to rev like a turbine and sound beautiful (but not 
like a reving V8 (sigh...)  Carb is a 1.75 inch SU on a side-draught 
manifold (Automotive Components).  I'm currently thinking about 
making my own tubular exhaust manifold as the original cast one is 
crumbling.  I'm also dissatisfied with the ignition and will probably 
fit electronic before long (I'm building a hybrid LR/Cavalier 
distributer to fit Bosch ignition but I cant make it work so far and 
its frustrating me!  May have to resort to luminition or similar (any 
comments?).
Turner and Automotive heads are excellent but you can't beat the 
satisfaction of turning heads with a home made engine.  It will do 
about 18-20+ mpg and will propel a safari bodied 109 to over 70mph 
under favourable circumstances.  constant 60+ is easy.
Hope this helps.  If I were you I'd wait until after the budget 
before deciding what to do.  A V8 might be too expensive to own in a 
road car.  So might a 2.25 depending on the cut off.  I've heard 2L 
or 2.5L.  If its 2.5L then you can get a lot out out of a tuned 2.25. 
Cheers
Peter.

Subject: Re: goes off at 110kmph

I had a simmilar thing with my Peu**ot 305, and it got worse as time went
by.
In the end it turned out to be the fuel cutoff solenoid dropping out.
I changed the solenoid (with one from my LR engine) and all went well again.

I had put a tell tale light on the solenoid, because I thought it was
electrical, as the symptom was just like turning the ignition off.
ie, an instant shutdown, with no coughing or spluttering etc.

After anything from a few seconds to a few minutes (later on) it would start
and drive normally. Towards the end the frequency of stopping increased.

Nasty in the fast lane of a motorway, or pulling out into traffic...

It could also be fuel starvation / vacuuming in the fuel line.
Have you changed the fuel filter lately?....

ie it uses more fuel that it can deliver at high revs, then causes a partial
vacuum in the line (partly blocked pipes?)
then when the vacuum has subsided it all works normally again.
But I would have thought you would get a reduction in power first not like
the instant stopping I had.

Hope this helps..

I dunno exactly... but think of same MPG but slightly lower costs... better
than a 2.25, as you get more horses with a V8 for the same (ish) fuel costs.
I think 50% more economy is a bit exagerated, mpg wise, maybee if you take
the whole cost into account, but i doubt it.

I installed the mid-range head (converted to unleaded, and with the
gas-flowed ports) about 6 months ago. 

>How much extra oomph do you get? 

To be honest I haven't noticed a MASSIVE increase in oomph, although I have
been very happy with it. The engine runs very evenly, and has not needed
any attention (so far - though that's probably the kiss of death!!)

>Are they worth the money? 

Hmmmm - if I had my time again, I'd probably choose the standadr unleaded
head, but I'd still stick with Turners.

>Is there anyone who does cheaper alternatives? 

There's Automotive Components (featured in the latest LRM), or you can try
local auto engineering places (though these will rarely do the exchange
system that Turners use, so you could be without your motor for a bit).
When I lloked into it there was very little in the prices of all the options.

>Do you have to do anything to your carb to cope with the 
>new head? 

Turners recommend AGAINST using the Weber 34ICH (they believe it gives
insufficitent throughput), recommending either a Zenith or Solex. I fitted
a new Zenith at the same time, and was very quickly afflicted by 'Zenith
Warping Syndrome', which I've since resolved.

All in all, I've been impressed by the head, but as I say, I'm not sure I
can tell that much difference with the gas flowed ports (but maybe that's
just my driving ;-)).

Although not directly related to S III, I have a "behind the grille" 80"
which in original form used geriatric glow worms for lights. To maintain the

I've got Wipac halogen lights on my series III.  I know a lot of 
people on the list don't like them because the reflectors can rust 
but mine have been OK for about 5 or 6 years now and they're very 
cheap.

Even cheaper, on my series I I've got 7inch halogens from a scrap 
dihatsu van.  They're fine and were a fiver.  I believe that most 
jap round 7inch units will fit but european ones (e.g. golf, 
old-shape BMW etc) won't.

Probably, it all depends on what engine/transmission they are using as chassis

This should result in a 1980 reg Land Rover with ser 2a body panels, ie; not
tax exempt.

Chop 12 inches out of the nice straight bit in the middle between the radius
arm mounts. Cut off all the range rover body mounting outriggers and the
curvey bit of chassis rail behind the rear spring mounts. Buy repair
outriggers and rear crossmember to suit your body style, and some sutable
steel sheet to re create the chassis rails from the rear spring mounts to the
rear crossmember.

I am better at answering specific questions than telling you what to do next,
feel free to ask as many as you like. ( I still have the original text from

This is normal, someone once said that amber on traffic lights is for elderly
(and not so elderly) Range Rover drivers to "take up slack". 

On a more prictical note look to the diff (this can be adjusted and re-shimmed
to take out some slack) and all six sets of splines in the front axle. Both
ends of half shafts and one end of each stub shaft (no adjustment here just a
case of replacement) The constant velocity joints in the front swivels also
have two splines that wear as well as the joint mechanism itself.

I guess TD means turbo diesel and therefore probably cable driven

Subject: Series 3 with oomph - how????

     I fitted an Automotive Components stage 2 head to my 2.25l Siia and it 
     made quite a big difference. Their literature says it'll increase 
     power by approx. 15 bhp. But your bottom end has to be in good nick to 
     get the most from it. They also do an upgraded camshaft that I'm 
     hoping to get this summer. The full stage two kit includes an SU carb, 
     exhaust manifold, air filter and a 9:1 compression ratio unleaded 
     head. This will definitely give you more oomph. Take note, if you 
     uprate the engine, either make sure you're brakes are up to it or take 
     out life insurance.

The penalties are quite substantial, and more than cover any saving
that has been made - and include a period of residence in a nice warm
dwelling with lots of real thugs to keep you happy at night<<<

and what's worse - they take your vehicle off you:-(>

I put a 2.5TD in my diesel series 3, apart from more broken half shafts 
it is great improvement 0-60 is now measurable and speed off the line at 
traffic lights can surprise other motorists! As the gearing remains as 
standard even with overdrive top speed is about 70 and comfortable 
cruising about 60 - 65 up hill and down dale! the fit is not too dificult 
the block is basically the same offside engine mount needs mods to clear 
timing case mounted injector pump as does battery holder. Vacuum pump 
realy makes servo work so the thing stops as well!

Subject: Battery/Electrical Power Meters
Geoff,
for the ignorant (me)
could you elucidate on the various meters please.
I've got an ammeter right?
what do they all do and which is best to find out if the damn thing is =
charging or not?
I only ask because I am ignorant and, when winching, the needle goes =
right down.....
Best Cheers
